Way back in 4th grade I selected Michael as my confirmation name just because I liked the name. Now I am glad to share the name of an Archangel. But I don’t think I have ever encountered an angel. One possibility I wondered about but it was probabaly just a human.

Please share your angel stories.
 
Can’t really add much except that I need to acknowledge mine more and that I do ask mine to go and assist someone
in particular whom I’m praying for,assist their Angel .
 
This happened to my husband several years ago, when we still had one of our older cars.

He was headed towards a gas station that was at a very busy intersection here. He was running out of gas, and was on his way to get gas at this busy station.

On the way there, right near the intersection, the car just died out in the middle of traffic.

He called me from his cell. phone, feeling quite distressed.

He told me that he had been praying for help, as it was in the middle of rush hour traffic, and he was also blocking traffic.

He and the car were sitting in traffic near a bowling alley, and he told me he had been praying something like, “Lord, help me. I need help.”

He told me that the next thing that happened was really remarkable.

He said that a handful of people just walked up and asked if he needed help, and if they could push him out of traffic, and into the gas station.

He thanked them, and that is what they did.

That’s an area that isn’t residential and is without any sidewalks, or anything like that. There isn’t too much around there, where people would just be near the intersection like that.

He said that it seemed like the people came from the bowling alley, but he didn’t think so–he said that they just seemed to be right there.

I always pray for his safety, and for Angels to protect him, and for his Guardian Angel to protect him, so in this case, I do think that angels stopped to help him, with the way that they suddenly showed up and quickly pushed him out of busy traffic like that.

All the angels will appear when Christ the King appears in glory and assembles all the nations.
When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit upon his glorious throne, 32 and all the nations will be assembled before him. And he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

There are multiple examples of Angels in Christmas music. One is:

O Come All Ye Faithful
Joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem.
Come and behold Him,
BORN THE KING OF ANGELS;
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
 
I was working in San Francisco back in 1982. It was sort of a store front office for a real estate place and pretty late. I was sorry I left the door unlocked. In walks a short stout street lady without shoes. It was pretty cold out there. I don’t know. There was something about her. She just lifted my spirit, I always wondered.
 
One day a few years ago, I was very distraught over the death of a loved-one and I was walking through the house crying. I felt myself being enclosed in very powerful arms and being hugged. I was very comforted and said ‘thank you’ out loud. I could tell that the hug was from someone very, very, very tall.
 
I think they are more involved with us than we realize. I am glad you had that sensitivity.
