knees2you -> Gaurdian Angels? (7/7/2005 12:08:37 AM)

Just wondering if anyone here Believes in or
has had experiences with Gaurdian Angels...

I have had times that I felt something was helping me,
right out of the blue.
Stopping me from being hit by a car, almost falling down,
but being picked up before I've fallen~[:D]

Sincerely, Ant[;)]




Rubyb -> RE: Gaurdian Angels? (7/7/2005 12:52:05 AM)

Yes.

More times than I can count or recall.

I wouldn't be anwering your post without them. ;-)

I remember one occasion that stands out in my mind... I was probably 10 or 11, and I was having a horrible day... Parents had been fighting, cat had died the day before, it was rainy and I was cold, my friend wasn't at school cuz she was sick and everything in the world just sucked.... you know, one of those days. Well, I was in elementary school and it was recess and I was just walking alone, on the verge of crying just from everything that was wrong, when out of nowhere this girl I had never seen before just walks up along side me. She must have been 4 or 5 years younger than me. Anyway, without looking at eachother or saying a single word, she just took my hand and we walked the length of the playground holding hands without speaking, as if she knew that I was feeling lonely and needed someone to walk with. She let go when we reached the edge of the playground and went off somewhere and I never saw her again. But immediately afterward I felt okay and peaceful. It was the weirdest thing ever! And I can't even begin to describe the feeling. I can remember everything down to the little yellow fleece pullover she was wearing. It probably doesn't sound that spectacular or as intriguing as an out-of-body experience (which I've also had) but the effect that girl had on me that day never left my mind, even after 10 years. I have no idea what to call it, but it definitely had a lasting effect on me.

I'm with Rubyb . . .




EmeraldSlave2 -> RE: Gaurdian Angels? (7/7/2005 5:58:26 AM)

I believe in gaurdians...not necessarily following the christian mythology system though.




darkinshadows -> RE: Gaurdian Angels? (7/7/2005 7:16:50 AM)

Not sure about 'mythology' - I believe that people try and name anything they can (lol - BDSM is a perfect example of labeling - oooo - don't gets me started....[;)]) - to christians they are angels - to others - spirits - others - faeries.... even aliens.

The essence is that do these 'creatures' exist at all?

I still say - yup -

I remember a conversation - kinda went -


quote:

'Are you an angel?'

'Do you think I am?'

'Yes.'

'Why is it so important to call me anything? Even if I was Gabriel, that makes a difference?'

'Of course it does!'

'No - it doesn't - the imprtant thing is that it happened, its over - Doesn't matter who or what I might be, it just matters you understand the reason behind it.'


Peace and Love

brightspot -> RE: Gaurdian Angels? (7/7/2005 10:44:01 AM)

I definately believe in Angels.
I was dropped something in a bar once and went
out to get fresh air just before closing time. I slipped
on the ice and smacked my head hard,. Everyone left
the bar and locked up out the back door, I was laying
in the side parking lot.

Now this bar is in a neighborhood known for it's street
crime...I layed in 22 degree weather for more than 6 hours
unconsious, had my purse, money and expensive jewlery
on.

I supposedly awoke at 8am that morning(I personnally don't
recall anything until the next evening, I called my mother, and
was totally out of it) outside of hypo-thermia
I was not physically touched or bothered...I know there are a
lot of desparate people in that particular area and sometimes I
wonder if I was even visible to the human eye?
I had to make a phone call for help and I was in a place where
I would have been visable to passersby and the police, I truly do
think an angel watch over me that night, at the Hospital they could
not believe I survived the temperatures alone!

I'm not sure but to be safe an hour before Doug's father passed away I asked him to be mine.
I actually had a streak of unbelievably good luck for about three month's after his death. Coincidence or not?




FangsNfeet -> RE: Gaurdian Angels? (7/7/2005 12:32:16 PM)

In my experience in the medical field, I've seen many ppl who should have been dead. Between the emergency, infection, damage, and lack of blood, and such there had to be a higher power envolve to cause some of these people to live. Not even the Level One Trauma surgeons can explain some of the recoveries.

Other than that, there is the story when I first began to walk at the age of one. My first steps took me through a screen window falling head first on a stump eight feet below. When my dad ran out to see me, I had some how fliped over and landed with my butt on the stump.

It must have been an unknown force to cause me to flip for to this very day, I have very little talent in diveing and gymnasitcs. However, I do make one mean Cannon Ball.

Myself personally would classify that as a miracle. Not a guardian angel. I've seen a few miracles in my life.
Then again, maybe they go hand in hand?




CalliopePurple -> RE: Gaurdian Angels? (7/7/2005 2:54:13 PM)

I've had moments when I was really depressed that I just felt comforting arms around me and somehow knew that it would get better. I'm not a visually oriented person, so that's the closest I can offer as proof that some one/ones out there are watching over and taking care of me.




anthrosub -> RE: Gaurdian Angels? (7/7/2005 3:36:31 PM)

I saw a couple Guardian Angels at Union Station the other day. I think that's the first time I've seen them in DC. I think their efforts are very noble and yes, I know that's not what you all mean but wanted to mention them for their contribution.

knees2you -> RE: Gaurdian Angels? (7/7/2005 10:11:35 PM)

Well those Angels you can touch,
and or get beaten by~[&:]
Don't like those kinda Angels...
I'm sure they mean well~


Sincerely

Without speaking too much about myself; i would not be here, now, without God's help. Being Catholic means i have a patron saint and Guardian Angel as well. But i believe God also graced me with a "6th sense"; a sort of precognition; or heightened awareness; that danger lay one way; so go the other.

The instruments of God's love and protection never left all the years i left the Church; i was cradled in His hand just as much then as i am now; it is not a reward for worshipping Him; it is an expression of His love for me. He must love me dearly, because He has brought me through the Valley of Death many times.

i guess my point is, God does not love you less because you have lost your faith, or never had any; He loves you because He created you and will keep you until you die, to meet Him and live your afterlife in joy. Unless you have turned so far away from Him that you are truely evil. Is what i believe.

quietkitten -> RE: Gaurdian Angels? (7/8/2005 9:59:24 PM)

I generally don't have a lot of faith in much of anything...

That being said. I have an experience I would like to share.
About three years ago I was going through a rough time and went for a long drive out in the country late at night. It was very dark and I was in unfamiliar territory on winding unending gravel roads. I had the radio on full blast and the window open.. couldn't hear anything else.
Then I heard a voice very clearly above everything that said "STOP NOW" it sounded like my father. I was in complete shock... and hit the brakes so hard I went into a little spin.....

I came to a stop in front of a set of railway tracks just as a freight train went whizzing by with it's whistle blasting. The thing that really shook me up... my dad had died 3 months earlier.
I guess I still have something I need to accomplish in this mortal coil.

fp2012 -> RE: Gaurdian Angels? (7/8/2005 11:06:20 PM)

Wow quietkitten, that's pretty amazing. And btw I love your avatar!

I just thought of another odd coincidence of mine. Not really about guardian angels, but more about how I think God acts in mysterious ways... about 5 years ago I had absolutely horrible acne. I thought it was the worst thing ever, and I would have done anything to clear my face up. My dermatologist even said it was one of the worst cases he'd ever seen. I always thought "what the hell did I do to diserve this?"
Well, finally I decided to try to go on acutain (an acne drug), and to do that I needed a blood test done to make sure nothing was wrong with my liver. The results came back and it turned out that certain enzymes that should have been between 10 and 30, were at 1012! Everyone freaked out and tons of tests were ran, and it turns out I have a rare, incurable liver disease called autoimmune hepatitis. Basically my immune system attacks my liver for some dumb reason... but it's under control now and has gone into remission. The thing is, if I hadn't had that blood test run my liver would have probably failed within half a year. (there were no obvious symptoms). We caught it in time and I'm doing fine. So I guess in a way zits saved my life lol. Weird huh?




pleasureforHim -> RE: Gaurdian Angels? (7/8/2005 11:18:32 PM)

[b]wow, jenny; that's an amazing story. and for yr daddy to speak to you -- such a precious memory.

Let me share one of my stories. Lived in a poor black neighborhood; went to school in a poor black high school. Riots broke out on occassion over busing. Well, no bus connection for the 1st leg of my trip to school, so i hitchhiked. One day two white guys from the suburbs picked up my girlfriend and i. She got in the back seat.

They started off in the wrong direction; said they knew a shortcut..then one of them callled my girlfirend and i :N: lovers" i knew we were gonna be raped.

i flicked open my switchbade and held it against the driver's belly; but he would not let us out. So i stuck him badly, THEN they let us out. My girlfriend asked me why i had stuck him, and i all i could say is: they were gonna rape us. i cannot explain why i was so sure; i had a vision of the rape itself; i KNEW what would happen if we did not get away.

Several..maybe even hundreds..of times..i have had that same feeling...vision..of fear where everything seemed under control..and i have always heeded it. So i am alive today to write this post, which is a bit of a miracle.
