I AM the Witness

A Lesson on Seat Belts–from an Angel!

 

 I have had the privilege of serving on your staff since 1975, either in one of the Teaching Centers or at the main headquarters. Most recently I have worked with the Ascended Masters’ university of the Spirit on earth–Summit University. I want to tell you what happened one night when it was my turn to drive our large passenger van to take the mothers and children home from class.

My smallest passenger, age 4, had decided that he would not put on his seat belt and I had decided that we were not going anywhere until everyone was wearing a seat belt. I carefully explained that Archangel Michael cannot fully do his job to protect us unless we do our part and wear our seat belts. Still, my little friend responded to each of my requests to put on his seat belt with a resounding “No!”

This certainly had the makings of a battle of wills and I was most perplexed as to what to do next. The child’s mother was sitting beside him, but for some reason she just smiled and made no effort to obtain his cooperation. I decided to surrender the problem to God and began reciting our prayer to Archangel Michael for traveling protection:

 

Lord Michael before, Lord Michael behind,
Lord Michael to the right, Lord Michael to the left,
Lord Michael above, Lord Michael below,
Lord Michael, Lord Michael wherever I go!

I AM his Love protecting here!
I AM his Love protecting here!
I AM his Love protecting here!

   While still calling to Archangel Michael, I began edging the van very slowly toward the main highway. Unbeknownst to me, a beautiful angel decided to help me out of my dilemma. Before I had finished the prayer an astonished little voice interrupted me, “There’s an angel in here!“

“Oh, really?”  I responded as I stopped the van and turned around to look at my little passenger. I could not see the angel myself, but I’m certain that the child did.

“What color is he?”  I asked.

“Green!“ came back the answer.

 I was somewhat surprised because I expected it would be one of Archangel Michael’s angels garbed in the brilliant sapphire-blue light of protection.

“Well!”  I said emphatically, as I posed the obvious question:  “Is the angel wearing his seat belt?“

“Yes!”  the child exclaimed. As quick as a flash my little friend slipped into his seat belt. I was grateful for the angel’s help and as soon as I heard the “click” of the seat belt clasp we were on our way.

The next day I was puzzling over what kind of angel had come to my assistance and why he had been dressed in green. The Ascended Masters teach that Mother Mary, the beloved Queen of the Angels, serves on the green ray of science and healing and has a great love for children. It made perfect sense to me that safety would fall under the parameters of the green ray and that one of the angels of Mother Mary’s bands would come to give a child a lesson on the importance of wearing a seat belt.

This incident made me wonder just how many times in our daily affairs, when things have been going wrong and suddenly change for the better, we have actually been assisted by an “invisible” angel friend. I feel fortunate to have had a child present that day who could see the angel and remind me who it is that can really make things happen in our lives when we invite them–the angels!

With love,
