My First Angel Sighting

These are the events which occurred to create the angel sighting that appears below.

My husband and I became disenchanted with Condo living and decided to look for another house. We came face to face with our dream home while out driving and had to make a decision as to whether or not we should sell and move all of our belongings of 40 years. We didn't know if we had the stamina to make such a major move at this stage in our lives. My husband had had quite a few operations which had ultimately led us to condo living and now here we were again placing ourselves in a position of having to do all our own work again.

The home was nestled amongst beautiful woods and sat on a piece of property that backed up to a lake. We couldn't resist this picturesque setting and decided to take the plunge. Our real estate lady came one day to bring us more flyers for the house and entered asking if I was drawing on my patio table. She knew I started drawing after I retired. When she took me out to show me what she had seen, I was awestruck at the image before me. There etched in sand by the winters frost was the shape of an angel in a flowing gown. The angel lay etched on the glass top of my patio table. Her head was formed by the hole the umbrella fit into. With tears forming in my eyes, I exclaimed, "It's an angel!"

I began drawing about five years ago so my artistic abilities are fairly new to me. For the past five years the only thing I've been drawing are Angels and its the only thing I have been urged to draw.

A couple of days before I had asked GOD in prayer, if he could show me a sign letting us know if we were doing the right thing by selling our condo, I believe HE did just that by sending Jack Frost to create the image of the angel. Not visible in this picture, imbedded in the wing area is the distinct shape of the letters N-A-N, my name.

Another Angel Sighting
The year 2000 created another angel sighting connected to the first sighting and merged the two together.

The rosebush that had been planted in the yard by the previous owners had not done very well and looked as though it were dead. We questioned whether to pull it up or leave it and we decided to let it go. While cleaning up leaves in the late fall, we noticed a single stem with leaves growing next to the dead bush. It had a single rosebud just as perfect as could be. I thought to myself, that I should cut it and bring it inside, but I continued to finish my raking and forgot all about it. A couple of days later I went to show a friend the rose and found it lying on the ground. The stem was cut on an angle just like a florist would have cut it to prepare it for water. I was amazed at the way the rose still looked beautiful.

The rose lasted for over two weeks. I decided to put the two events together, and when the rose had finished blooming, I put it in my scanner and made the picture to your right. I want to share this wonderful happening with all of you. At first I thought this was only my miracle but soon realized that it must be shared. I hope you are able to see what I saw in this wonderful gift. GOD will show all of you his wonders if you make yourself aware of the different ways HE shows HIS love for us.

Both events happened on November 1st exactly one year apart. November 1st is All Saints Day.

More Sightings
These pictures were taken when I first began drawing angels. They were taken inside the opening of my china cabinet on a picture easel. They were encased in a plastic sleeve.

When I had the film developed, these white spots appeared on every picture. I took them back to have them evaluated by the photo processor. They assumed that light had gotten into the camera. He said he would redo them for me, but I chose to keep them just as they are.

I like to think that since they are pictures of angels, I prefer to see these spots as angel energy being passed on to me through my work with these heavenly beings. As you can see, some of these energy spots really take on the shape of angels. What do you think?
