God Sent Me an Angel on Valentine's Day
Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it. - Hebrews 13:2 (NIV)
Some people believe in angels; others don't. The Bible says they exist, but I've never seen a heavenly choir or Gabriel's wings or even a plump little, arrow-throwing cherub. I don't know if I have a guardian angel hovering over my shoulder. But I have learned that angels are more common than one might think.
I spent my Valentine's day by sleeping through half of it. That's all I really cared to do--my Valentine is across the state, and while we were together last weekend, I still couldn't help feeling sad when looking at so many happy couples celebrating love. I finally decided that I should buy some new colors of yarn and walked to the bus stop to wait for the elusive bus never, ever comes when you want it to be there. It's also always very crowded, so I decided I'd have a better chance of getting a seat if I walked up to an earlier bus stop.
On my way, I started counting the number of couples walking past me. It seemed like everyone had a match, and it hurt to be alone. But there was one young man who also walked by himself. He was holding a bouquet of pink roses--for his sweetheart, I thought to myself. As we passed, I smiled, and he smiled back. And then he handed me one of those pink roses. "Happy Valentine's day," he said, as he kept walking. Somehow, I managed to get out a "thank you" before walking to the bus, faith regained in the presence of not just eros, but agape love in this world.
How could he have known that I was upset just then? How could he have known that that was the exact thing I needed at that moment?
Maybe he was a heavenly angel, wings carefully tucked under his winter coat. But maybe he was just another child like you and me. I don't think this young man realized that he was an angel to me on Saturday. God chose to use him, though, and that's what matters.
The more I open my eyes to Him, the more I see God everywhere. Perhaps science can explain something--it can still be a miracle. Perhaps he was just a nice boy with good motives, but maybe God was using him to be an angel, too. Every morning, there is a sunrise, but it is only as beautiful as you allow yourself to think it is.
Has God ever sent you an angel, or even used you as one?

God has sent many angels in my life, throughout my life time.
However, for one to recognize an angel, one must be a BELIEVER.
I can't count the times that I could have been hurt, killed, mislead, cheated, and the list could go on! But, somehow, someway, at that time, God sent an angel to rescue me!
And then there were those times that God sent an angel just to watch me go through what I needed to go through, it wasn't always a rescue.....

That's a great post
I don't think that I've ever seen an angel in disguise, though I don't doubt God sends them.
i think my cell leader is an angel to me =)
Wow, that was really thoughtful of him. I believe God sends angels to uplift and rejuvenate people. =)
Hebrews 13:2 is actually one of my most favorite verses. sure, i'm not definite if i've ever met an angel, nonetheless helped on out. but i do believe in them. i reflect on this quote alot and believe in always performing good deeds. this verse gives me hope that i'm putting a smile on God's face.
although i'm not sure if i've ever met one, i love your statement "God chose to use him, though, and that's what matters." because i totally feel like He's worked through people in my life to help me along the way.
I always call the girl I love my angel too...
I met her after a really tough time in my life and I remember at one praying for God to give me somebody I could fall in love with too, and then I met Gracie, and she was so amazing, amorous and beautiful. She was the perfect girl in my eyes, and it really did feel like God sent me angel.
Yeah we have our little disagreements just like every other couple, but we'd just be superficial and lying to each other if we pretend that everything is -always- perfect. I never let her go to bed without an apology and a goodnight kiss though... at the end of the day I just want to hold her close again...
She lives really far away, but hopefully she can come visit me in summer... and I intend to make it her best visit anywhere ever =]
Yes. One day after I got rejected, I sat on the bus. Someone had written on the back of the seat in front of me "You are infinitely beautiful." My day became so much brighter just because of that. Someone was an angel then. My angels have done so much, too much to say here...or anywhere. God bless.
HAHA
U actually believe an Angel came to you on the most worthless day out of the year next to X-mas
Let me tell you something. God has brought me nothing but misery and he will do the same to you. You should push god away before he does you. The last 5 years has been nothing but a heart ache and god is the problem. If his worthless son came back, I would be the first to kill him...An I would kill him slowly
Wow, what a sweet guy.
I've been called an angel or a heaven-send numerous times.. typically by friends who, like me, struggled with depression and even suicidal thoughts. I've been called such by people in need of a pick-me-up. I've been called such by people needing a helping hand and such.. I am so thankful that God has used me to be an "angel" to some people in my short life. :)
I have also had many angels in my life, helping me along the way. They often pop up in the most unexpected places I've noticed. :)
Thanks so much for sharing your moment with an angel with us,

I love that guy - cause he found a way to make a good difference! I sure hope more of you guys do that kinda thing. What could a female do that would be as safe and yet as touching as that for you guys?
Could we hand out maybe some candy? Give me some ideas for next year, lonely guys!
The little things that can't quite be explained, that are small, but mean so much.
I have experienced many trials in my life, especially in the last three years, with each trial, my faith has grown stronger, and in my strength I learned to see the world around me with my heart, and to hear with my soul. and with this the mini-miracles became so very clear.
One of the most amazing was, a homeless man, outside an Albertson's grocery store, He was on a bench, disheveled, very thin, with a dog, who was obviously blind, and a cigarette in his hand, Now prior to this I would have avoided anyone like this, afraid of someone like this, maybe somehow thinking I was better,but this time something was different and when he spoke to me, I stopped to listen.He spoke slowly, painfully, He was telling me about his dog and how much he loved him, about his blindness due to diabetes, and how he almost lost him.I told him to pray, he responded with he did pray, but nothing ever changed.We talked about Job, and how he lost everything, and this poor soul said sometimes he felt like Job, hopeless, ready to give up, but always keeping the faith, always praying to thank God, for what he does have .He also quoted scripture, correctly. He never asked me for money, I am on disability and couldn't have given him much anyway. My heart went out to this little man and his dog, and I told him simply, God Bless You and that I'd pray for him. I did my shopping and when I came out, I was going to give him what I could, but he was gone.I told my husband about this man, and he read me the passage about entertaining angels unaware when you take the time with strangers, The same one you have spoken of, Hebrews 13:2. I prayed for this man and his dog that night, and the next morning I went on-line to see where the local church was and what the service was about, The service was miraculously about this same passage, coincidence? I don't think so.So Now when I see someone less fortunate than myself, I always take the time to at least offer a prayer and a kind word, It costs me nothing, and the rewards are amazing.God Bless..................
God's hand is all around us moving things... sometimes we just need to open our eyes.
That is so wonderful and sweet of him to do. I believe he is an angel.
