Angels at Work
For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
Ps 91:11-12
God knew I needed lots of encouragement and He sent human angels who came in various forms.
The first one arrived in the form of a nurse named Irene in the Recovery Room after the surgery. When she saw that I was in extreme pain upon regaining consciousness, she offered to pray for me. As she prayed for God to relieve me of my pain, I drifted off into unconsciousness. I did not get to see who she was and am unlikely to ever see her again.
The next few are familiar faces – Cora, my helper, who was with me practically the whole time attentively seeing to all my needs; Marianne, my sister, who took leave from work for three entire days and kept me amused with her nonsense, her food offerings and a helium balloon; Mum who produced some nutritious home-cooked soup everyday; Dad who kept me company with his body bent over the newspapers and Elaine who force-fed me my very first meal of chicken porridge on her off-day.
The next two angels are familiar but unexpected daily visitors – Violet and Chi Chin who faithfully popped by just to check on my progress and to cheer me up with their smiles.
