The Dealership We all know the shock of being rear ended by unexpected trials in life, but there is hope! On May 27, 2026, very recently, I was rear ended hard! All kinds of emotions surfaced. I was concerned about the pain I was experiencing, but the emergency room said I had no broken bones, just very sore muscles. Thank God! I had a 2015 vehicle with low mileage that ran great, so I wasn't motivated to seek out another car. Then my car was totaled, therefore I had to go find another one. I found one at the dealership with updated safety features and technology. This prompted me to think of God as the Dealership, as well as being the Creator and Owner. Here people depend on the salesperson and the mechanic to help move about in life. God contains all we need, that is, what people seek can be found in this "dealership". We all want to find something to take us from point A to point Z. From birth un...
Do not neglect to show hospitality for by that means some have entertained angels without knowing it" ~ Hebrews 13:2
Angels are mentioned 273 times in Scripture. They appear as humans and a multitude of other ways. They have appeared to many in the Bible, Abram, Zachariah, Daniel, Jacob, Mary, Mary Magdalene, the disciples, as well as to many others across the centuries. There are many accounts of angels, even today. They come in person, dazzling, in dreams, with wings and chariots, as animals and birds, in strangers and in each other. Sometimes they are recognized as angels and other times not. The Talmud (a collection of oral teachings and discussions produced by Jewish Rabbis) says that each blade of grass has an angel telling them "grow, grow". I believe we have been generously given a guardian angel since before time.
I would like to describe an encounter I had during a time of need. My husband and I were facing financial difficulties, and he was possibly going to get laid off from work. I was at work, unable to concentrate, and I was praying, asking God to show me that it would all work out. So, I went down the elevator with a coworker and a woman began staring at me intently, which made me somewhat uncomfortable. When we got off on the first floor the woman turned, hugged me and gave me a kiss saying, "I have been asked to tell you that everything is going to be alright." She hastily left and I went after her but when I opened the door to the street, no one was on the right or left. I was baffled. I went back and asked the front desk person, who witnessed this, who was that individual. And she answered that it was some stranger talking to employees about God. And before anyone could respond or react, she went to the elevator and left where I encountered her. I believe with all my heart that was an angel sent to reassure me, I felt it in my soul. This was a direct answer to a prayer. And yes, my husband did not lose his job!
I've had many people minister to my husband and I in times of need, even strangers, and I felt the angel inside them speak to me.
Angels bring messages and comfort, as well as the love of God. May we all recognize these heavenly hosts in our midst and be welcoming and hospitable toward them. 😇
Great note Cindy. Angels all around us.
