They help us to recognize our shortcomings, whether we have a bad temper, are too impatient, etc. and teach us how to overcome these faults so they don't hinder our spiritual growth.
They lift us up when we're down, provide aid and comfort and watch us as we grow. With all this data they're collecting they have a good idea who will graduate to the next class and who will not.
Those that need a little extra tweaking are set aside in order to receive additional help.
There have been accounts where angels have saved people's lives, helped with providing answers to complex mathematical equations and brought numerous people together.
Why is it so hard for many of us to accept that there are angels among us?
I remember one moving story of a young woman who was on her way to a job interview. She was staying with her parents during this time and they waved goodbye to her as she and her young son drove away. She was supposed to arrive at the interview by a certain time but did not. The parents then contacted the police and an investigation ensued. Still, no one could find out anything about what had happened until one policeman was prompted to make it his mission in life.
He felt so strongly that he retraced her steps over and over, talking to many different individuals. Still nothing made sense until he decided he would return to the area she was last seen one last time. Suddenly he spied something on the side of the road he hadn't seen before as it had been hidden from view. He went over and picked it up and then saw tire tracks leading from the road down the side of the steep hill.
He ventured down and was able to see a vehicle wedged a distance from him. Soon he saw that it matched the description of her vehicle. He drew closer and saw that the young mother was deceased but her young son appeared to be asleep in the passenger seat.
He checked the young boy for vital signs and found that he was barely breathing. He called for an ambulance and the rest was history.
Or, was it?
The young boy recovered and was then able to tell an incredible story. Right after the accident, he remembered a brilliant bright light that slowly made its way toward the car. The light talked to him and told him that he was going to be okay, that his mother was already in heaven and being taken care of.
The angel comforted the young boy and stayed with him, telling him that he would be rescued soon and to have no fear.
At the time the young boy had no idea what the bright light was but after he had grown up, he knew exactly what it was and called it by name--an angel.
