Sometimes we glimpse a world beyond that which we normally see. When we least expect it, we can be surprised by the extraordinary. A year ago, while kneeling in the back of a church, I looked up and saw angels in every direction, helping people. They were luminous, in long white robes. Some accompanied folks to their seats, some sat with small children, some walked with the disabled down the aisle, some gazed at babies in their mothers’ arms. Each angel was lovingly present to one person in particular. As I watched in awe, utterly dumbfounded by what I was seeing, the angels turned in unison and looked directly at me. They seemed quite aware that I could see them, and I somehow knew that I was supposed to see them, but I did not know why. We simply looked at one another, without speaking a word, and then they faded mysteriously from sight.
The Alabama song, Angels Among Us, has special meaning now. There are indeed angels among us -- some seen and others who walk unnoticed by our side.
