Are Angels waiting for us to ask for help?
Some time back, one of the new members of a Search for God group that I was attending was beginning to develop some channeling ability and she wanted permission to do a reading on me. I said ok and she wrote down what she got and a few days later gave it to me.
One of the most interesting things indicated in the material she gave me was that I was surrounded by angels. She said that they kept trying to let me know that they were there by sending hummingbirds around me. I had noticed quite a few hummingbirds zooming around me as I worked on the roof of my old house. She indicated that they loved being around me as I worked on restoring my old house and that that they would be willing to help, but I had to ask for their help. I thought what she said was interesting but didn’t really pay much attention to it. I was kind of skeptical I guess.
One day I was having an especially difficult time trying to get a piece of tin roofing into place where it needed to be. This piece of tin was on the outside of the roof over the bathroom addition right at the corner of the upper story. Most of it was up on the top portion of the roof and needed to go underneath the south siding on the second story of the house. But some of it needed to overhang the first story roof, which meant that it had to be bent to go up underneath the siding on the west side of the upper story corner as well as cut out and bent to go under the south side of the second story. It also had to line up and fit correctly into the v groves of the adjoining tin. I had very carefully measured and cut out what needed to be removed and used blocks to help me make the correct bends so that it could slide up underneath the siding and protect from rain intrusion. I had very carefully loosened the siding and removed any nails that might have been in the way so that the roofing would easily slide under the siding. I tried and I tried and I tried to get this piece of tin into place where it needed to be, but could not get it installed correctly. If I managed to get it under the siding on the south side of the house, it wouldn’t go underneath the west side siding and vice versa. Finally, I remembered what I had been told about asking the angels for help and in utter frustration hollered out “all right angels if you are here, I could sure use some help.” That piece of tin slid into place exactly where it was supposed to be. I was astonished, because quite frankly, when I hollered out for help, I was venting my frustration and being a smart ass. I did not do anything consciously different this time from all my other attempts to get the tin installed correctly other than call out for angelic help. But this time my efforts were rewarded with the tin aligning perfectly into place almost as if by magic. What I really can’t understand is why I still don’t ask for help when I need it. It’s almost as if I am in denial about it. Go figure.
