Do You Think Saints or Angels Walk Among Us?

United States
December 23, 2006 5:18am CST
Have you ever met someone that you believed was saintly or angelic? I did just once, it was a women and she didn't speak a work of English. She was the mother[she left us a few years ago]of both my boss and friend.When her daughter introduced us, she just walked over to me and she kissed me on my cheek. And that day, I just felt so special and although that happened maybe 20 years ago, I have never forgotten that moment or how special that act made me feel. Now, I realize that this isn't a spectacular interaction, but the joy that...that moment produced, was like nothing I could ever remember.Anyone else ever had a similiar or not so similiar encounter.

I think they walk along side us. I too met a woman who asked me if I ever had my fortune told. I said no. So she told me some things about what would happen to me in the future. I paid no mind to it. But just this past year a couple of the things she told me came true.

You know...I think these good memories are much more powerful than the not so good ones. And I think they help insulate us against life's struggles. Thanks so much...irisheyes-SS

I had a similar experience once about 25 years ago. It was a woman who worked where I did. She was recently widowed, had a not very large income & must have had a hard life but there was nothing but goodness emanating from her. I just felt good whenever she was around and I never forgot her.

I am not really sure what you can call these special people who intuitively know when something is amiss with a person. I do have one of these special friends and it seems that she knows when I need something of a "pick me up" because on that day she will phone me for no reason or sometimes she writes a letter which arrives that day. In the past I have asked her and she just says "I just wanted to talk to you" or something like that. It is hard to explain and of course I am always happy when I hear from her but I have noticed that she does get in contact just at the time when I do need that "little extra". Also who is looking after all those people who have an accident, illness or a newborn who has all the complications in the world, but still come through it safely. I don't know that it is particularly angels or saints but someone is certainly caring for these people to give them the strength and will to live. I think that there are many people in this world who could be considered "angelic" or "saintly" because they just know when to talk or do something kind and also have the right words or actions that are needed.

You know what I think is really sad, we just don't hear enough about these really good folks, we don't talk enough about those good times. We really should do what we are doing now...More...SS

We meet them sometime or the other in life.It is their deeds which influence us....if they touch your feelings, emotions, and heart they assume the figure of saints and angels.

yes each and every one is a saint and it all depends on how you train your mind either to behave like saint or something else

Just maybe each of us has the potential for being a saint, that however is debatable, because clearly not everyone is saintly...Thanks for your post...SS

there are those who perform the imposible... as we call miracles... there are angels and saints among us, even us, that is, if we learn to use our power of beliveing in God.

That's very true and I guess that's why we shouldn't be to quick to pass judgment on anyone, you just never know how special another persons role in this life might be.

When someone did a good or little favor for me, i think they are an angel and saint when they are doing good deeds not for me but for others too.

You made a good point because many times in this country when someone does a kindness for someone else, you often here them saying 'you are a saint'...Thanks for the response...SS

I think they do. I have never encountered them, but there are incidents where what else would explain why it would have happened. That is just my opinion.

And did you ever have something planned out for the day, but before you started, you had second thoughts and that second thought turned out to be the better option? SS

Yes, angels walk among us. I have encountered it a few times. There is no explaining it, you just know it in your heart and spirit.

I have always felt that I am not alone, even when all the evidence around me says that I am. For instance when you are in the house alone, and you definitely know you are alone, but you jump at a sound or check out a dark room...why? Thanks for you post...SS

It can be true saint and angels walk among us. Everyday can be an opportunity for everybody to become a saint or even an angel. Everyday can be an opportunity for everyday to be an angel but without the wings I guess. I mean, just smile and say hello to a stranger or you may adopt a lost puppy that will make you feel saintly.

I find that those 'random acts of kindness' whether initiated by me, or me on the receiving end, really just warms, and seems to generate that inner smile. Doing good can become contagious...Thanks for your post...SS

yes its true that angels \saints as well as devils too walk among us.it is when u do a good deed these angels may come to u but you are not able to see them with ur very own eyes ,may be possible that u have felt them.some people have experienced this feeling as well as some have seen such good and bad spirits too.

Hey friend, I don;'t think that there exist and angel or Saints among us, but this is sure that the heart of Angels and Saints is very possible to be existing on the Earth.There are such peoples which make themself feel by the other person, that the are saints or Angels, but this is not so, it's just a Humour.So,I don't believe in all this.
