Angels, holy spirit, unseen guardians, do you believe in them?

Two years ago my cousin, who was then about 7 years old was hit by a car while playing with his friends. He literally went under the car and was supposed to have been rolled over by the tires, but this is something you wouldn't believe, people actually saw the car being lifted on the side where my cousin was lying so he wasn't even touched by the tire. We're talking about almost a dozen people who saw this "miracle". It happened in a split of a second and they couldn't believe what they just saw. Even the driver and the passenger of the car thought that my cousin is already dead. Thankfully he survived with just a broken arm. He said that he didn't feel anything else except that first impact when he was hit(that's when his arm broke), he couldn't remember anything afterward. My aunt said this is a proof that angels are really watching over us, some say it's the work of the holy spirit and others say it's our "unseen" guardians who are there to protect us. For me, I think it all boils down to one thing, and that is God's protection. We may call it what we want but I think we can all agree on one thing, that this is the work of God. We just have to strengthen our faith in him. Can you share any experiences you had regarding this? What do you think about what happened?

I definitely do. My family has been blessed so many times over, and many times its during life threatening conditions. One recent incident was a car crash my cousin and her three children were involved in. She had taken her eyes off the road for a second when a larger car rammed into hers. Her eldest child flew out through the front windshield. Hysterical, my cousin checked on her other children then raced out to find her eldest. She kept calling her name over and over again but nobody heard her. Luckily, they found her conscious under a car that had stopped just in time. Through all that, the girl only had a few scrapes and bruises- nothing serious. Another incident was when my uncle and family was driving late at night. They were exhausted and it was dark. Finally they decided to find a hotel for the night but there were very few along the road. The few they found had no vacancy or seemed unsafe. So they kept driving into the middle of nowhere. My uncle was so tired he was about asleep at the wheel and his baby son was cranky. Then all of a sudden, a hotel popped into their view. They stopped there and got a room. The hotel was clean and gorgeous with very pleasant staff members. A year later, they tried to find the hotel again but couldn't. They stopped by a gas station nearby to ask about it and the person there said there had never been a hotel in the area. They even called the hotel chain they thought was associated with it and they claimed that hotel doesn't exist- never existed.

I am glad to know that they are all ok despite what happened, It's really great that we recognize these blessings that come to us and are thankful for it, some people may call it luck but I would still call it an act of God, as long as we believe, these blessings will come to us especially in times of need like those that your relatives have experienced.
