I Spoke To An Angel!
It was the most innocuous moment. Yesterday I had walked up to the refrigerator in a service station to grab some milk and out of the corner of my eye I saw this tiny (and I mean tiny, she couldn’t have been any more than 4 or 5 years old), little girl waiting for me to finish. So I held the door open for a second but she didn’t move forward to grab anything so I let it close and moved back. To which she moved forward and opened the same door and I felt awkward because I hadn’t held it open for her.
But anyway I moved towards the service counter and half way there I get this hesitant tap on my leg and the same little girl (she barely came past my knee), timidly asks me did she have enough money for her milk and held out a handful of coins. To which I said I’m not sure, as it appeared she didn’t have enough, so I said we will ask the man at the counter.
So up I went and started to put my goods through and I asked the man how much was the milk, to which he said the amount and I saw she didn’t have enough. The little girl holds her handful of coins up and looks at us both and I said to the man, it’s ok just put it through with mine. And as I went to tap my card a very clear, beautiful and incredibly profound voice from this little girl behind me said…’God bless you and thank you very much’.
I was stunned by its clarity and the fact that from such a small timid child who would have barely learnt any religion, but here she was. But I managed to say…’that’s ok darling, and God bless you. It’s a little gift for Christmas’. And as this was exchanged between us I was facing the machine to tap my card and collect my goods, and I was going to turn to the little girl to thank her properly for such beautiful words. It took me all of three seconds. And as I turned there was no one there. I thought shoot she must have scooted out the door but it was one of those big sliding doors and it was silent…so I scanned inside and no one was there…so I looked outside and there was only two cars getting petrol but no child.
I swear this happened and it has left me in such a way that I ‘know’ I was ‘touched’ by something so incredibly beautiful. It has touched me somewhere so deeply that each time I think of it, it brings me to tears. I keep looking for a reason because that is a part of the healing I do, to see what it means and pass it onto whoever I am helping. But I can’t find anything…I think I’m being asked to just accept a very beautiful gift. A message, a few words of a kindness that just ‘touches’ and you know where it comes from, a heart so full of love and so very beautiful.
So in that acceptance I think I’ll pass it on, it is so big there is indeed plenty to share. So…as my gift has already arrived and with the beautiful love I found within it…Merry Christmas to everyone, and God bless you all. And may I share those many blessings, love and kindness I found within it to you all too. Those lovely Angels do indeed come in many sizes 🤗🥰🤣😂😎🦋🎄🎅🎶🎁🕊️🦌☃️🐾🦓❤️🙏
Oh I love this story and thank you for sharing it with us Mark! 💖 Yes, I HEARTily agree that you were visited by an angel…and you did what you were supposed to do…buy the milk for her…sharing your blessings with her and in turn, she’s sharing with you…God bless you! 🙏😇💕🌟✨💖
Thank you kind lady, it was a very powerful moment. It was like I was in a bubble and just her and me touching something, a moment so beautiful to be beyond words…and of course a message. It was a powerful moment and something I’ll never forget. Thank you for the share Yvonne, may we all ever be touched with those moments. God bless you too 🤗❤️🙏
An affirmation of your kind heart, Mark. ❤️
Why thank you Jane, your words are truly appreciated. And as few as those words were, it did touch me somewhere deeply. There are many moments in time and I pray that we are all blessed with a moment or two like this, a synchronicity, a look, or a couple of words…to let us know that we are open to something very beautiful. Have a lovely new year kind lady, may your photo’s speak the same 🤗🥰❤️🙏
How beautiful! I think you had a real Celestial encounter with this little angel that found you in a totally unexpected place and time! Just curious did you ask the men at the counter if he saw her leave? Or maybe she just appeared to you in a skip of timeline! Anyhow when things like this happens are precious and that was a gift of kindness and love to you as you opened your kind heart to her! May this bring you joy for now and time to come! Blessings to you!
Strange that you should ask that Carolina, it ‘seemed’ like it was just her and I in the encounter because of the words uttered so he was just ‘over there’ somewhere. Mind you it did affect me that much that I looked at my credit card account later to make sure it happened. And in fact the man had put my goods on the card and right on the next line to it was the little girls milk on its own. Now that really got me. There was no convincing myself it didn’t happen or some such, it was there in black and white…and I only arrived home with the one container of milk 🤗
And yes, those moments touch you in another way. Almost like there was only the little angel and I on our own and all else was a backdrop for the moment. I am blessed to touch something so beautiful…but…how much greater the courage of another with just their hope and faith of something that is in their hearts. That does take a powerful heart and a loving belief that no words can truly explain…built by a very profound love.
Blessings to you also kind lady, be it in an encounter or that love within you. Mind you, I think we may be ‘touched’ by those encounters even in our every day lives 🤗❤️🙏
Yes and how beautiful! I am sure we do have encounters in our everyday lives and sometimes we know it instantly and sometimes they just pass by unnoticed but the energy is there!
Indeed kind lady, I agree that its beauty comes in all different shapes and sizes. So thank you for sharing this…and may your new year be blessed with it always 🤗❤️🙏
How wonderful! We will never know if she was real or not, whether she was an angel or a human little girl. Either way, your heart was revealed in that little moment. Sometimes we give, not because we have a solid answer why, but because it’s the right thing to do!
Blessings to you for the holidays!
Haha, it was such a surreal moment Tamara. So much so that I even went and checked my credit card to see if the milk was there, and it was…separately from what I had purchased. Even that was strange. It was an amazing moment to be touched by something so incredibly beautiful my friend, and it did indeed touch me in a way I’ll never forget.
Much love, light and blessings returned in kind Tamara. Have a lovely Christmas holiday with all you hold dear, and I’ll look forward to a new year of wisdom and healing from you kind lady. Thank you 🤗🥰🦋🎄🎅🎶🎁🕊️🦌☃️🐾🦓❤️🙏
Dear Mark… What a wonderful experience with your little Angel encounter… I have no doubts she perhaps was just that, a little Angel… Passing on her love, as you shared yours…
And no one my friend is more deserving of being shown the Blessings from God than you… For you do untold Good Deeds of which I know I am grateful to have received from you, with a kind word and encouraging hug..
Thank you for sharing your story Mark…. It is lovely to be back in blog land catching up just before Christmas, and I may have my own little Christmas tale to tell of Miracles and Synchronicities before the Christmas arrives…
Sending you Lots of Love and well wishes, Love and Hugs for a very Happy Christmas and sending well wishes along with Peace and Harmony for 2025, and Beyond…
Much Love xx ❤️
Thank you Sue for those kind words dear lady, and they are appreciated very much. And I must admit after all that I have experienced and seen, doing the healing and guidance isn’t a hard thing to do. Mind you, and as I said in the post, I’m used to just passing on those messages instead of just accepting them myself. I too am still learning my friend 🤣
And I have to admit I’m still floating from the healing of those words. It is not something that touches us too often so the little Angel truly made an impact 🤗❤️
And it sounds like you too have touched on something Angel like too, I have no doubt they found the right address to present a gift to someone very worthy also kind lady. I look forward to hearing of it 🤗🥰
Glad to hear your voice again Sue, I saw a little quiet was required for you and nothing like some ‘you’ time to rest and find that inner balance again. And I do hope the ‘B’s’ are both going well and excited for the coming celebration, family and gifts. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all, may it all bring that inner smile that only love can give. Much love, hugs and blessings returned in kind dear lady xx 🤗🥰🤣🦋🎄🎅🎶🎁🕊️🦌☃️❤️🙏
What a wonderful and beautiful experience you’ve had, Mark. This will stay with you forever. Merry Christmas to you!
It was indeed something to never be forgotten Michele. When it touches you, you ‘know’ you have indeed come together with something that is ever there waiting to give you hope, faith and courage to take another step into what we are all slowly becoming. Thank you for the share kind lady, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you also my friend. May there be many gifts, with the Angels among them all 🤗🦋🎄🎅🎶🎁🕊️🦌☃️❤️🙏
This is incredible, Mark!! Merriest of Christmases to you ❤️
It was an incredible thing Samantha, to be touched so beautifully has left me a little floaty so to speak. The energy in such a connection gifts you with that love totally. Hope all is well kind lady. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you also, may there be many Angels about you too 🤗🦋🎄🎅🎶🎁🕊️🦌☃️❤️🙏
This touches my heart so much. It fully resonates with the opportunity I had today in giving my sandwich to a homeless man. I could tell he didn’t have enough money for something healthier. It’s a longer story but he had the most beautiful blue eyes and had trouble walking and clearly not showered for a long while. I know I was meant to see him and gift him my sandwich and make him smile and have his eyes twinkle.
Those moments touch us Ka, almost like being given a gift in seeing something from a different lens within us. That ability to ‘let go’ this world and see the truth through love.
I found that in hindsight I was being given a focus on what she was, what she spoke and its depth. I couldn’t barely remember what she looked like but could see those tiny hands holding the coins. And even the timid voice in the beginning that suddenly became so loving and clear. What we ‘felt and saw’ are so similar, even if telling a different story. I think love can do that, from any direction.
Thank you for sharing kind lady, may all we do speak that language forever 🤗🎄🎅🎶🎁🕊️🦌☃️❤️🙏
Yes absolutely ♥️♥️♥️
This is such a wonderful experience, Mark. Maybe she was afraid and hid from you? All in all, it’s this acts of kindness and love that brighten our days.
Haha, she probably did hide. She was such a timid little thing…until she spoke. That power and love would have stopped anything in its tracks. Not something I will forget, that’s for sure. And yes there is much beauty in this world, even in those small tokens offered to us or what we give. Even a smile can move mountains. Thank you for the share festo_sanjo, may your Christmas touch those things of love 🤗🎄🎅🎶🎁🕊️🦌☃️🐾🦓❤️🙏
A comment from my lovely friend Ginger…
Mark, I used to watch a TV show called Touched By An Angel. YOU, however, have ACTUALLY been touched by an angel! Wow! Wow! Wow! Just incredible. I can’t even imagine what that experience must have been like. I think you will be walking on Cloud 9 for some time to come…..no pun intended.
I was going to send a note to you tonight to let you know I’ve been thinking of you and hoping/praying that all was well with you. If it wasn’t, I guess it is now! I can’t think of a better person to have had this experience. You will pass this phenomenon on to all those you believe will benefit from this “once in a lifetime” encounter.
Sending you early wishes for a Merry Christmas and an easy slide into 2025. May you enjoy good health, the love of family and friends, and an abundance of chocolate!
Be well. Be happy. Be safe. Behave (optional!)
Ginger 🦋
Haha, ah Ginger, I have indeed been floating on a cloud since then. It truly does ‘touch’ you so beautifully. Even chocolate doesn’t come close. Ooh, did I just say that? 🤣
And I can’t help myself, I’ve thought about it so much because of what it means at that moment, and every one since. And yes, I ‘feel’ so elated, better, happy…I think my blood pressure must have lost a few points too 😂 It is something I could wish on everyone…oh, the Angel, not lower blood pressure…mind you I think we could all do with that 🤗
I had to do a post, it spoke to me…and hopefully all who read it. There is something so beautiful behind all this, something that gives hope, faith, and even just a smile to feel a purpose in all we do kind lady. I couldn’t hold it in if I wanted too, it wanted to dance and sing from my heart in any way I could think of 🤗
Thank you for your lovely blessings too Ginger, I was maybe a bit quick off the mark this year but somehow I think love got a word in first so that I did. Merry Christmas kind lady and have a lovely New Year too. After that my health will sing, family will eat too much for me, and chocolate…well, um, I’ll protect them and eat their share 🤣
You too Be well. Be happy. Be safe…and…er…oh, I can’t spell that last one hahaha 🤗🥰🤣😎🦋🎄🎅🎶🎁🕊️🦌☃️❤️🙏
A beautiful, amazing and inspirational experience to usher you into the holiday season and keep the light burning bright. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, dear Mark! 💖😇🙏✨💖
Hey MM, so glad to hear your voice. And a big thank you kind lady, it was indeed something so beautiful to truly brighten that light within. To be touched like that leaves you in tears…big, beautiful tears. You ‘know’ that there is indeed something waiting for us all. A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you also my friend, I hope many Angels are around your heart too…to celebrate it all and for the beginning of a bright new year. Big hugs from down under 🤗🎄🎅🎶🎁🕊️🦌☃️❤️🙏
Much love and big hugs to you, my dear friend! May this new year bring many blessings, tears of joy and goodwill our way! 🧑🎄🙏🎄😇😍
Amen to that! 🤗🎄🎅🎶🎁🕊️🦌☃️❤️🙏
Oh, Mark! I’m in tears! A tiny angel visited you–and in return, she was “gifted” by an angel, too–YOU.
There are no explanations for these gifts and miracles, my friend. Your heart and soul are wide open. You can expect these to happen!
Finn and I send our love, hug, and many blessings across the huge pond! God bless you and Merry Christmas to YOU, too. ❣️🎄🥰🩷🤍🐾💞🤗🤗🙏🙏
Oh, thank you Karla. It was a blessing, and it was an amazing moment. I keep thinking about it and tears just flow as her voice was just so pure…but to just disappear so fast. I’m sure she was an Angel 🤣
It is such a profound gift, I am indeed so blessed to be touched by something like that, as only love can. Almost a cross of light in among the tree’s…you just ‘know’ ❤️
Thank you for the love, hugs and blessings Karla…and they are definitely returned in kind to you and Finn my friend. And I have no doubt there will be many more Angels in our lives to guide us, even if they live across that big blue pond 🤣
And many blessings to family, I hope your dad is doing well. And you too, there was a little quiet patch, I hope that was just chocolate shopping 😂
Take care, love and hugs to you, Have a very Merry Christmas 🤗🥰😎🦋🎄🎅🎶🎁🕊️🦌☃️🐾🦓❤️🙏
Please accept my apology for the late reply. I’m always apologizing! With working, dr’s appts, my health…life is cra-cra, as the kids say, lol. They also say, “Sigma” meaning “cool”. One middle school student said I was sigma. Ok. I’ll take it?!?! SO ARE YOU, MARK.
Today I met with my cancer support group. We lost another dear member. His wife spoke of angels and blessings. Her spirit and attitude touched my heart. Love. The gift that helps us keep going; even in the midst of life’s hard knocks.
My Dad is hanging in there. We have more appts coming up. I wish it was more “quiet”, but with the holidays, things are a bit “loud”. BUT…
I’m “dropping” everything that doesn’t give me peace and “holding” onto all that matters–which besides Finn and chocolate, tee hee,–are intangible.
Sometimes it’s hard to keep up with everything, Mark. Yet, I’m not stressing. Just allowing each hour to come as it should. Perhaps more words will find me, too. I had a walk in the woods this morning (much needed!) before the craziness of shopping (YIKES) and then, my ZOOM. I feel as if I’ve lived 1,000 lives. And all that matters is how much love I’ve given (or been gifted). It’s the only way to live!
Thank you for sending the love, hugs, and prayers,too. We’re always sending it to you! Finn and I will see you again hopefully before the holidays! 🩷🎄🤗🥰❣️🤍🙏🏼🐾🦓🎄🎄
Thank you Karla, but no apologies necessary kind lady. I feel for you in a world that always seems to ‘hold you’ in one direction or another with so much going on. And I think that is the thing that creates a ‘Sigma’, much empathy, love and compassion because of what you go through…and you do it well because of that. And I’ll most certainly accept a Sigma title too, thank you 🤗🤣
Glad to hear your dad is hanging in there and probably because of this time of year there is lot’s of family about. It can be a bit tiring for him…but…inside glad to be touching base with one and all. And then the food 🤣, chocolate all around, rich food, and the need to go lay down and digest it all 😂. Probably not all good for him but that ‘togetherness’ interactions is a healing all its own. I hope it all goes well.
And yes, this is a busy time. Be it with ‘everyone’s’ health let alone adornments, catching up, and the sharing of that love it brings in it all. Oh, and the presents, even if it is just a smile from those we care for. You just be gentle with yourself too kind lady, I can feel a heart wanting to share a heart so much with all, you can’t help yourself 🤗🥰, and that in itself is a healing too…but be gentle 🦋❤️
My heart also goes out to you and your group in losing someone who has shared so much with you Karla. You can relate so much more with others that ‘know’ and understand so many steps of what you all experience. It makes you so close because of it and makes it so hard in losing someone. And in that, a big hug kind lady, and lots of love to you. It isn’t easy with where your health is, in something that touches us all so powerfully in that loss. And that love is indeed an incredible gift, the thing that holds us through it all…the hard, the happy, and especially those that are close. It’s there, you can touch it in all you do…it is in the ‘not’ feeling we learn to go past and become it. You are gifting many others because of what you can touch, and yourself as you become it ❤️
Take care, and enjoy the many beautiful encounters for Christmas that family brings. Love, hugs and prayers to you and Finn, and yes I will be bouncing around on here somewhere to share this love that it all brings…and restrain myself from the chocolate until its time…I think 🤣🤗🥰🤣😂🦋🎄🎅🎶🎁🕊️🦌☃️🐾🦓❤️🙏
Wow!! I’ve got chills reading this. Thank you so much for sharing. One can never hear about angel encounters too many times. ❤️🙏🏻🌟❤️
It gave me chills kind lady, and an elation beyond words because of the beauty behind it. They may be ‘little’ things but the after affects are truly a long lasting and memorable thing. Thank you for sharing, may your angel encounters leave you the same 🤗🎄🎅🎶🎁🕊️🦌☃️❤️🙏
A wonderful story … and just more evidence that it doesn’t take much because little things matter. Well done, Mark! … and Merry Christmas to you.
Thank you Frank. This world does indeed have many of those ‘little things’ that are so very beautiful. Merry Christmas to you also kind sir, I hope there are many of those ‘little’ Angels around you too 🤗🎄🎅🎶🎁🕊️🦌☃️❤️🙏
Absolutely beautiful 🤍 thanks for sharing!
Thank you Jessy, it is something I will never forget. To be touched like that is such a beautiful and profound thing 🤗🎄🎅🎶🎁🕊️🦌☃️❤️🙏
