Today in church service, a young man gave a story about his mother, who has been battling cancer for years. His mother has been near death, and recently continues to say there is someone in the room with her. Her family does not see this person. But, she says "He smells so good." The family believes it is Christ who visits in this time, with the sweet frangrance that Christ carries. It was so heartwarming. They even have a photo of this aura resting near her face, that they believe is an angel, or perhaps I think, even His presence. The young man nearly wept as he told of this, and commented, "If you are not a believer yet, then listen to my story."
My Pastor continued to comment to me later that there are many stories like this he knows or has witnessed regarding people in Hospice care. It is richly true that the church I attend is full of His love, as many witness such miraculous instances of God's grace in our community.
This winter I experienced it myself. Around 7pm on a Saturday, I felt a strong presence in my room. And, at times, it seemed that I'd walk through that presence and I would laugh and weep with joy as I experienced. About an hour later, I heard loud booms outside my house and after two of them I opened my door to find the house across the street blazing on fire. Three fire engines were sent on my street, parked in front of my door, to put the fire out as it engulfed not only the house but the cars in the driveway. I was awed that not only was God saying He was here to protect that family, but also to protect me. The angel I sensed in my room came at about the time this ferocious fire started!!
Blessings to all who believe in a God loving enough to send His angels to watch over you.
