Angels

I sometimes wonder if a strange encounter with an old woman was an encounter with an angel.

I had just started treatment for a potentially fatal disease. Wife and I went to a local coffee shop for a coffee. I know my wife was more worried than I was at my condition. As we sat down an elderly woman, a stranger and one I'd not seen before locally came in and made directly for us. My recollection (this was 4 years ago) is that my wife, J, struck up a conversation with her and mentioned my diagnoses. The old lady stood by our table and prayed briefly and cheerfully (if that's a good description), then moved on...then I didn't see her again.

Now, it could have been that I didn't notice what she did, but my view was of the exit to the cafe...it appears that she...just vanished.

Could be an angel, because I know from the scriptures that they travel in ones and twos; and of course, groups of 10 million! It would have really been a big deal if a group showed up!
