Once again I need your thoughts and wisdom. My mother has cancer. She is near the end of her chemotherapy. I asked God to send me a sign to let me know if she's going to be ok. The next night while stargazing I saw what I'm sure was a white angel fly over our house.

It happened to fly in my line of vision and I got a good long look at it with binoculars. Astronomy has been my hobby for 45 years, I am familiar with everything in the night time sky: natural phenomena (comets, fireballs, and the like), birds, weather devices, homemade aircraft, I've even seen clothing and flowers drifting on the air. This was like nothing I've ever seen before. Is this possible or am I seeing things from stress? By the way, I don't drink or use drugs, nor am I taking any medications. I believe in God but I'm not terribly religious, either. Any thoughts?

To all who responded to this post: Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts, share your stories, and send your prayers. Mom and I were so touched. Mom got her test results today. Her tumor, which was the size of a banana, is almost gone and the doctor said much of that may be scar tissue. I have no doubt now that the angel was real, as real as the kindness of all of you. You were a great comfort through a very trying time. God Bless you always.

What a beautiful gift you were given! Know in your heart what you saw was real!
19 years ago my grandmother who lived next door to me was up during the night and looked outside her window and she claimed to have seen several white angels flying over my house. I was pregnant at the time and she never told me this not to upset me. My mother told me this after my grandmother's passing. I wish she would have told me then, I would have loved to have known the details of what she experienced from my grandmother herself.
So consider this a gift from God, his special way of reminding you that our prayers are always heard.
God is Good.
I will pray for your mother & your family also.
Bless you all, San

Hi, Joan. I believe that angels are God's ministering beings. If it pleases the Lord to give us a "special touch" from Him, then He does it! It can be just to give our faith a boost, or to ease pain, etc. Keep believing!

Only you can know this. I know that God does send angels to earth for specific purposes. Be grateful for his answering your prayers and make sure you thank him. Have faith. He loves you and feels your pain and concern for your mother. Heavenly Father is waiting to pour many blessings on you. God bless you.

Angels can appear to us in many forms. They will appear in a way that will get our attention and that we will recognize, which is why you saw your angel while star gazing. It's wonderful, isn't it?

You're not the only one, there are other angel sightings. There can be imposter entities, but they are not honoring the sacrifice of Jesus in our place. The Bible says 'test the spirits, to see whether they be of God.' They certainly aren't all white women with blonde hair and wings. One was a smiling wise black man in blue satin with a gold cord at the waist, standing at the front door (from an old Guideposts). God loves you, and he loves to bless all of his children. I offer you a cyber-hug and I wish you the best with your Mom's transitions and your own energy levels through this. In Jesus, Kim

I believe that there are angels watching over us
and as I wrote this I just got goosebumps....
I too am a believer in god and am not deeply religious
but I believe that if god is not watching over us an angel is. one of my favorite movies is "the city of angels" with Nicholas Cage and Meg Ryan
I also love the song by Alabama "angels among us" sent down to us from somewhere up above, they come down to us in our in our deepest hour...goes part of the song.
Many times I have given a problem over to god and have felt so much better afterwards.

Yes, I do believe you saw an angel. I say that I am a very "faith filled" person rather than a religious person. When my mother was so sick with congestive heart failure 21 years ago, she had to be on a venilator and was in the ICU. I came home that afernoon, praying all the while that she would be ok. I prayed that God would give me a sign that all would ok with her. Well, we had a light rain shower that afternoon and when I looked out my kitchen window, I saw a rainbow right above our garden. I took this as a sign from God that she would be ok and she was. We had her with us for a little over 5 more years and what wonderful years they were. God is good.

Abso-freakin'-lutely. If you believe you saw an Angel, you saw an Angel. And I believe you saw one as well. And YAY! You saw an Angel! GO GIVE MOM A HUG AND TELL HER YOU LOVE HER! Someone is keeping an extra close eye on her (and you!)

Peace,
Monkey

Be like a child - believe. That is God's wish, and you are so fortunate to have had this little miracle in your life. Keep on believing!!

God lets you see what you are open to seeing. He puts many miracles here on earth daily, we just need to be open to seeing them. I am not overly religious but have worked the last few years towards earning some "brownie points" towards Heaven. LOL. If you have not already enrolled your Mother in Chemo Angels, check it out: chemoangels.net. Very positive group, it's FREE and your Mother has to do nothing.

Special Assignment Angel, Amy

Trust in what you saw, there are many things in this world that have No real answers, but what you saw is very possible and real. As a child my deceased uncle came to me, and I saw him just like I see real people in this life. He was just saying goodbye to me. At the time I was 7 years old, and it did not scare me. I knew, even at that young age that it was meant for me to see, and treasure what I saw.

I believe you saw an angel, Joan. Shortly after my Father died, I was walking through the woods with my dogs with such a horrific state of depression. I heard a bird call, looked up and saw an eagle flying. I was in awe of this magnificent bird! The eagle passed and I continued walking. I soon realized the depression was gone and I had such a wonderful sensation of well-being. I believe my Father spoke to me that day, telling me he was well and not to worry. I believe this with all my heart even ten years later. Take care of yourself and my prayers are with you and your Mom. Peace, Sharon

I believe this was your answer, that she will be ok. Whether it's in this life or the hereafter. When I have a dilemma a worry or just need an answer. I pray and ask God. I pray whether it's day or night. But I've been told that before retiring in the evening if I talked with God, and ask for insight or just unload. That I will just wake up *knowing* the answer, and yes it has happened many times. Somehow I just know. I am spiritual but not religious. Theres a difference.
