My Devotional Journal: Today's ODB author, Sheridan Voysey, uses true stories of what could be angel encounters to illustrate the reality of angels among us. … The ODB author wrote: Louise suffers from muscular dystrophy. While trying to exit a train station one day, she found herself facing a large flight of stairs without an elevator or escalator. On the verge of tears, Louise saw a man suddenly appear, pick up her bag, and gently help her up the stairs. When she turned to thank him, he was gone. 
Michael was late for a meeting. Already stressed from a relationship breakdown, he started battling London’s traffic only to get a flat tire. As he stood helplessly in the rain, a man stepped out of the crowd, opened the boot (trunk), jacked up the car, and changed the wheel. When Michael turned to thank him, he was gone. 

I don’t know that I’ve ever encountered an angel as some mysterious helper in my life; but I certainly don’t discount the possibility that it could happen; because, … as the group Alabama sings in the linked song and the scriptures above document, ,,, God’s word is clear that The Lord watches over His beloved with angels. And as the verses in Hebrews declare, we might just encounter one or more of those heavenly ambassadors as God sends them to watch over us in our lives as we do our best to follow Jesus.

Maybe today! … Wouldn’t that be great? So, … best I treat some mysterious helper with hospitality; because he just might be my guardian angel.

=============
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh Abba Father, ... thank You, Lord, … for Your watch care of angels. 
=============

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... I pray, Lord, that all reading here will join me today, to treat any strangers with Christlike hospitality, not knowing if they might be an angel among us. … Amen
