Guardian Angel
Posted by Ghostlyt in 2007
Five years ago there was an occurrence in my life that led to my belief in guardian angels.
It was late I had just got home from work. There was horrific storm above us, lightning lit up the sky and the down poor rumbled the roof. I turned on the television, which by the way isn't very smart during a high intensity electric storm, but I wanted to get a look at the storm above us. I immediately turned to the weather channel and sure enough they were showing the vicious storm above us. I sat down indian style on the ground just a few feet from the television, so I could hear it better. After a few seconds I suddenly heard my daughter crying. I immediately got up and walked down the hall and peeked into my daughters room, she was sound asleep.
I shook it off and just as I turned to walk back to the living room, I heard a loud snap. I immediately ran back into the living room, which was filled with smoke. I ran back to my daughters bedroom and turned on the light, she was still sleeping, I picked her out of her bed and ran to my bedroom and woke my wife. She immediately got up and I handed her my daughter. I ran back into the living room, the smoke began to slowly disappear, but it was obvious something was still smoldering. I approached the television and noticed that the side of the entertainment center was burnt. I followed the burn to the window seal which was also burnt, I immediately noticed a antenna wire slipped through the bottom of the window, which I was unaware it existed. I ran outside to see if the house was on fire, luckily it wasn't.
I ran back into the house, everything seemed fine, the television worked, but the computer was fried, our phone was dead, but other then that nothing was on fire. I approached the television and immediately notice what happened, lightning had struck the antenna, followed the wire into the house and a surge of electricity must have exited the end of the wire and struck the entertainment center, then it hit me like a rock, if I would of been sitting in the spot I was before I thought I heard my daughter crying, that lightning bolt would of hit me right in the head. The more I think about it, I don't think it was my daughter crying, simply by the way she was sleeping when I checked on her, I think something, maybe an Angel, imitated my daughter's crying just to get me to move from that spot...If so to the angel who called, thank you!
