I have studied death and dying, have worked with hospice patients and have heard stories of those nearing death. Many people, as they near death, see angels There is a story in the Gospel of Luke about an angel escorting someone to heaven. I love the thought of being introduced into heaven by an angel. He just might show us around and introduce us to our Lord.
“the time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side.” Luke 16:22a
This can be a comforting verse to the dying. Angels are nearby. The dying person may even see the angels as they near the time to go home to heaven.
Father,
Thank You for sharing stories with us about angels. We are grateful for their presence, for their protection and for their guidance. They serve and honor You.
In Jesus name,
Amen
