Angels are all around us. Tonight I know that angels helped me get out of a fix in our four inches of snow here on my way to church. (Got caught on an incline and couldn’t get started again — until four gentlemen helped me.)
Interresant.
Lamh Foistenach Abu!Nah, that’s probably just poltergeist.
Or an angel disguised as poltergeist.
Either you believe or you don’t. -:)
A couple of Wednesdays ago, I got an evening phone call from the pediatric ICU at Presbyterian Hospital, where I work as a child life specialist. Usually when they call at night, it means something bad has happened. This, however, was different. My coworker told me that the most amazing thing had just happened and she just had to call to tell me.
We had a patient who has really grown up in and out of the hospital. All the staff knows her and her family. She had been in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) for about a month, and had been intubated - on life support. She was not doing well. The doctors had approached mom about taking her off life support the Saturday before. Mom was okay with it, and said that she’d been through so much and if was her time to go she wanted to honor that. So they had taken her off.
It was Wednesday and she was still alive. Amazing. The doctors approached mom about taking off her oxygen mask. Mom was supportive, and began praying over her daughter. The mother of another young patient who was in the bed next to her began praying with her.
The nurse practitioner went to the nurses station to chart that she had taken off the oxygen mask. While doing so, she looked up at the security monitor that videotapes the double doors leading into the PICU. It records anyone who may be waiting outside the doors to get in since it is a secure unit. She saw a man standing there, and it looked a little funny to her, so she decided to walk down the hall to open the double doors personally. When she opened them, no one was standing there.
She walked back down to the nurses station to finish charting, assuming he had walked away, but saw him still standing there on the monitor. So she opened the doors with a button near the nurses station and leaned over to see him walk in, but no one was standing there.
She pulled over another nurse and both stood staring at this man on the monitor and opening the doors to find no one there. The nurse practitioner leaned in closely to look at the man on the monitor and said, ‘Oh my gosh. That’s an angel. You can see his wings!’
They said that the sun starting shining so brightly and the whole PICU was strangely filled with light. They said he was a tall man and you could see wings behind him.
They pulled over all the staff of the PICU and the two praying mothers and everyone was staring at this man on the monitor and opening the doors to find no one there. Crying, everyone pulled out their camera phones to take pictures, but no one could get it to show up on their camera. The mother of the girl pulled out her camera phone and finally got a picture of the angel who was guarding the doors to the PICU. He turned out as a man of light. I have attached the picture from her phone. link to photo: http://lightworkers.org/files/albumb/9567/angel.jpg
The girl was later discharged from the hospital to go home.
A Miracle.
This story makes me so grateful for the way that God reveals himself to us, and the how Great He is really is. We have much to be thankful for this holiday. :)

Angels exist, by the millions. So why is ONE showing up on a picture? Oh, and that’s not at all what an angel looks like.
Could that have been the angel of death waiting for another soul perhaps? Something prevented the angel from taking this little soul. (Just another scenario for what occurred)

Wow.
in the age of photoshop, photos are meaningless.
Whatever it is, the light is reflecting off the floor as well.

(sorry, BtL... didn’t mean to ping you to your own thread)
Yes, angels do exist. BUT that is NOT a picture of one.
its either a natural reflections or Photoshop.
In the age of Art Bell and CGI, pictures mean less than they used to.
I have my proof, by the grace of God. My beliefs are unshakable. I need no further validation.
There are more with us than there are with them.

Question: “Are there really such things as guardian angels?”
Very interesting. The only way to know exactly what it was would have been to ask it who Jesus Christ is and what its relationship to Him is?
Yeah yeah, I know that’s kinda tough when it’s just a quasi-invisible LightMan. :-)

I have always had a feeling God sent me here for something. What that something is I don’t have a clue my guess is I will touch someone else’s life when he needs me to.
I have had two experiences in my life where I should either be in another world or banged up extremely bad. In both cases I walked away without a scratch and in my latter life experience with a lesson learned, Alcohol, Motorcycles and high speed just not a good idea… I have no doubt in my mind my garden angle has done Gods will and I reaped a benefit.
Yes Veronica Garden Angles are here.
