Comforting
Angel
by Adam
I've always believed in God. I think much of what the "bible" and pretty much all major religions says, as far as God is concerned, is probably fictional, but I do believe God exists and he started, or set in motion or is 'behind' the creation of the universe and has some kind of plan or experiment that we won't ever figure out completely until maybe when we die.
But here's my little experience... It was about 3 years ago. A court hearing over the custody of my daughter was just days away from happening. I had multiple reasons to think that if my daughter's mother got custody it would result in, somehow, a very bad conclusion for my daughter. That particular night I had been thinking and worrying excessively over the outcome of the hearing. I almost never lose control of my faculties, but that night I really got emotional. And I was alone just working everything over in my head and just worked myself into a sobbing fit somehow.
I was in the near middle of my living room floor, sitting Indian-style and just sincerely offering up to the heavens a prayer that everything would work out at the hearing and that my daughter would end up where she was best off... whether that meant I get her or not. I can't remember before or since getting so ridiculously worked up so much that I was actually crying in my silent pleas.
That's when it happened... As I said, I was sitting Indian-style and I was at that point hunched over weeping and I felt and saw a hand touch my face. I couldn't see it with my eyes, but I could see it (corny as it may sound) with my heart. It was absolutely not a hallucination. I felt it there as clearly as I can see my own hand in front of my face now. There was no doubt... only a mixture of shock, bewilderment and a feeling I just cant describe in words. It somehow said to me, "It's okay, it's okay... It will be alright... It will be okay."
And the hand (I saw the hand and half way up the forearm) seemed to come from above my head and lightly touch my face like the way a father caresses his newborn child. The hand appeared many times larger then a human hand (perhaps twice the size of my head). But it was the most comforting and assuring feeling I have ever known in my life. I seemed to feel such love and understanding in its touch... its like... well, like I said it's hard to describe. But I saw it as clear as crystal... only not physically somehow... Can you understand that?
Anyway, it completely put me at ease in more ways then one. Two days later I was awarded custody of my daughter and have since been doing my best to bring her up. It's very difficult and extremely self-handicapping but, the vision (or whatever you care to call it) is always there in my memory to remind me of my responsibility to my child.
