I also know that angels can appear, as the Bible instructs us not to neglect strangers as they may be angels sent to us for whatever reason. We may entertain angels unawares.

I can vouch for this. Many years ago my wife's younger brother committed suicide. She was beyond distraught, and anguished as they were so close throughout their lives. Naturally she blamed herself for not preventing it. It had been two days since the news and there was no joy in her life whatsoever, and nothing I could do about it.

We traveled to Orlando for the services, and the preceding evening went to dinner. Since it was a weeknight the restaurant had few customers. My wife spotted an empty room and asked if we could have it to ourselves. The hostess agreed.

Nevertheless, about ten minutes later they seated two middle-aged ladies in the adjacent booth. Why, we thought when we specifically asked to be alone?

The two ladies began talking and we could overhear everything they said. Apparently they were office workers from across the street. Their conversation was all about mundane things like missing staplers and paper clips. But as they did, they laughed about every little thing that went on in the office. They never stopped laughing and it was infectious.

Soon my wife was laughing along with them. And the tears of relief started running down her face. At some point, the two women got up and left, and we never saw their faces or stopped them to talk.

But to this day, my wife swears they were angels. And I agree with her, because it was not in my power to console her. And yet these perfect strangers had that power.

Wow- I think you are right, that God intervened in her life to console her. Powerful experience!
