Gosh, Westy, you really needed your guardian angel right then. I'm so glad he was there for you. xx

I don't want to say too much on a public forum but I had two experiences after I'd been going through a very difficult time and was feeling very vulnerable. The first time I was due to do something that I really wanted and needed to do, as it was important to me, but was feeling really scared and anxious and was wondering if I'd be up to it. My best friend, who was visiting, took me for a walk and we bumped into an elderly man with bright blue eyes and my friend started talking to him. Yet instead of responding to her, he was talking to me, his bright blue eyes looking straight into mine, like he was telling me I'd be okay ... My normally gregarious, chatty friend backed away and let him carry on talking to me alone. I got a sense of strength from him - like an assurance I wouldn't be alone and I could do it. When we got home, the first thing my friend said was "I think he was your guardian angel". She is normally not spiritually minded at all ... Then again a few weeks later, I was feeling pretty bad about myself and worthless as a human, and another slightly older man came and sat next to me and started talking to me - telling me how important I was and how much I was needed. It was a different voice and body but he had the same blue eyes ... They appeared exactly when I needed them ... I hope that makes sense ...

I think sometimes when religion is forced on you as a child, it can turn you against it, but if you haven't had it, or are going through a time when you feel you need that bit of extra help, or are searching for answers, then that could be a reason for adults finding religion?
