Thanks for sharing. Yes he is still married to his angel. I have never thought of my wife as an angel, but truly as my gift from God! I have extensively read NDE accounts for years, and of angelic encounters as well. Angels have always been prominently featured in God's dealings with men. Lastly, one begs the question. Why do we deal with angels, unaware anyway? Many years ago my wife and I went to a retreat. During a lunch session we talked with a lady who was gifted to see people's guardian angels. After some provocative conversation she exclaimed that she had seen my angel. She claimed that my angel was constantly with me, since birth. She described a large and radiant being, some 9ft tall or so. Yielding a great and terrible sword! He was a mighty warrior angel assigned to me for my protection. She asked if I had a difficult birth or childhood. I explained that I was born two months early and weighed 17 oz at birth. At a very young age, I died in my grandmother's arms. My grandfather being the good catholic man that he was, immediately went to the medicine cabinet grabbing a bottle of St. Joseph's mineral oil and proceeded to rub my chest. I was revived. She assured me that my angel had always been with me. And related how she had not any other angel so large and so glorious and imposing! That's the closest I have ever gotten to an angel. Seemed kinda trippy forty years ago, so I simply and graciously received her gift. :prayer-hands: :dieu: TR Amazing testimony, TR. Wow, you have a 9 foot angel protecting you! That has got to be very comforting. One of my brothers jokes and says my angel never got his wings since I face some weird situations. I was trying to study more on angels last night and all the on-line sources so far that I searched, all are in agreement that angels can not be female. So that leads me to believe the unsaved that see a female angel ... it hast to be a trick from the devil or demons. Perhaps they have the ability to apply a female face mask for a few minutes? And I think a lot of us do entertain angels ... for example ... when things we are looking for “suddenly” go missing. I will search everywhere in the house and not find it. Then I will pray for the Lord’s help. And then I will look around again and there it is in plain sight. So I got a feeling the angel will put what we are missing right in front of us and I’m also leaning towards the demons like to take our things away and hide them just to annoy us. Bless your heart Geri7! I can't count the number of times that angels have saved my bacon. But we must remember that they do the Lord's bidding, they really don't work for us specifically! Guardian angels may have a more specific duty to us. I can no more glorify angels than I can Mary the mother of Christ. Each deserves their due accordingly. But if the ministrations of the Lord includes angelic assistance, God will get all the glory. I'm not about to join any cultic worship of angels, nor do I want to be one. They in the end, are simply God's servants. We are the Bride of Christ! That said, it is indeed encouraging when the Lord ordains angelic interaction on our behalf. To Him be the glory. Angelic encounters and intervention is but a small portion of the many blessings the Lord bestows! Still it is exciting to share. TR I agree angels are not to be worshipped. That unsaved former co-worker who saw that female angel ... used to love the tv program ... “Touched by an Angel”. I never watched that show so I’m not sure if that program was Biblically sound. Biblically sound or not, it certainly offered a spotlight for God! But then again, how many churches are biblically sound? TR
