Usually we don’t see angels, but we can feel a presence, sense there’s someone in the room with you. You turn your head; there’s nothing there. What was it? A spirit? A guardian? The next story tells of an actual visitation.
She was three-and-a-half months pregnant with her second child, a girl. She woke in the middle of the night and lay, eyes closed, thinking how cold her hand was, lying outside the covers. She started to draw it in under the blankets, when she realized it already was!
Waking more, she opened her eyes and saw a figure standing over her in a flowing robe and shoulder-length hair. Its face was turned, so she could not tell if it was male or female, but its right hand, outstretched, held onto her very cold hand. Her first reaction in a semi-wakened state was fear. She closed her eyes. When she opened them, moments later, the figure had gone.
Her hand began to warm and, for the first time, she felt the quickening of life from her unborn child.
“I not only felt life,” she wrote me, “but that little fetus churned non-stop the rest of the night! I kept thinking, this is a soul that is overjoyed that in a few months it will be born.”
This mother had two other children, and each time she first felt life inside her, she experienced the strong sensation of a Presence in the room.
