The angels have been out today. (They are always out, but I took notice of them in special ways today.) Sometimes angels come into our lives at unexpected moments and they make our day brighter.
1. The Parking Angel: We arrived at our destination and pulled into a metered parking spot flashing "expired". A lady in a bright neon yellow shirt walked briskly down the long row of metered spots along the street and stopped in front of our vehicle! She unlocked the meter box, removed the change, and announced that we were now all paid up for the next two hours!!! Our parking angel then spun round and briskly returned back up the street.
2. The Swimming Angel: We arrived at my son's baby swim class early. Because my husband took our son to get ready in the men's locker room, I got ready in the women's locker room in no time flat and entered the pool area well ahead of them. A water aerobics class was in progress. The swim instructor smiled at me and I explained, "I'm just waiting for my husband and baby. We're here for the baby swim class, but I guess we're early." She continued to smile and invited me to join their water class while I waited. So I did! It was great!
3. The Door Angel: I'm at the grocery store standing in front of a freezer door. I open the door and remove a bag of Alaskan salmon (or so I thought). You guessed it --- I caught the wrong fish bag. I try to reopen the freezer door and it is stubbornly stuck. Tug and tug again, no luck. I look around for someone to help me, but I am alone in the aisle. I return to tugging with some pauses, then tugging again. [The fisher-wannabe in me just wouldn't let me give up I suppose.]
After about five minutes of wrestling with the freezer door, I sigh and resign myself to the wrong fish bag. Turning away, I say aloud "The door is stuck and won't open" to the universe. At that very moment, a lady with a shopping cart charges toward me [she actually looks like she trying to play "chicken" with me and I brace for head-on collision]. As she manuevers away from me at the last moment, she says "Try the door again", then continues her breakneck speed away. So I do try again and the door opens, I exchange the fish bags quickly and the door shuts. Something in me [curiousity perhaps?] makes me try the door again. You guessed it [again] --- it was stuck!
Today has been a lesson in synchronicity and joy. And I am thankful for my awareness of Angels.
Tell me ... have you been aware of Angels in your life lately?
