What a wonderful story. And yes, I do believe in entertaining angels unaware. I was with my dad at St. Joseph Hospital in Thunder Bay when he died in March 1976. Just after he died, while we were still at the hospital, mom went down the hall to get a nurse, and I was left alone standing beside my dad's body. A nun walked in and said "you are a Christian, aren't you?" How she knew this was beyond me, but I told her I was. She then asked me if she could pray, and of course I said yes. She prayed a quiet, beautiful prayer and God's peace was overwhelming. When she said Amen, I opened my eyes and turned to her to thank her, and she was not there. There is no other explanation but she was an angel in a nun's habit. 50 years later, I believe it more than ever. Have a blessed Christmas!
Yes, she was a sweetheart.
So amazing!

Loved the story
At ST.ANDREWS residence. It was my Mom, Frances Cairns.who sang it every year.
She had been the church soloist my whole growing up and sang at every wedding and funeral.at Knox Presbyrerian in Wallaceburg.
It is a gift for those that sing and those who listen
Thanks so much, Sue! I know my Grandma was part of that group of Golden Agers too...what a great story!
