In recent posts, I have mentioned JR, a gentleman I worked with who passed away recently. I was told this weekend that an hour or two before he died, someone literally saw an angel above his home.
This freaks me out, gives me goose bumps. The strange thing is, I don’t know why. I have heard and believed stories before about angels coming to escort a dying soul from this life. I guess I react to it as I do because I have never personally seen an angel, or a spirit, or a ghost.
I am not sure what the difference is. An angel is a creature that lives and has always lived in spirit only, without a mortal body. A ghost is the spirit of one that lived at one time, but who’s body has now died.
That is my definition. I don’t know if it is terribly accurate, just my attempt to understand what is incomprehensible.
Discussing JR’s angel with my son A (who also works at this facility) A told me that another resident often looks out the window and waves. A is sure the resident sees his dead father. I am convinced that A himself saw the ghost of my uncle, although A no longer remembers the incident.
For some reason, small children and people of “limited ability” seem to be able to see and sense these things. I don’t seem to have that ability. Perhaps it can be developed, I don’t know. I am open-minded about these matters, but I don’t seem to experience the supernatural itself. Or perhaps it is that I don’t see the significance of little things around me that point to the supernatural.
The Spirit is what each of us has, often referred to as the soul. It becomes a ghost when it is separated from the body.
Master and I have a connection of the spirits. We connect over the miles. He seems much better able to tune into that than I am. Perhaps it is something he can teach me over time. I hope so.
Angels, Spirits, and the Spirit. Such interesting subjects. So much to learn.
