From Angels with Love: True-life stories of communication with Angels. Jacky Newcomb

discover they were in danger and you saved them just in time.

       Out of the blue you decide to check the insurance on your car, only to realise that the last date it’s insured is … today.

       You decide to keep some emergency cash in the house, only to discover you need it that very day.

       You decide to keep various items in the car in case of emergencies (a blanket and a shovel, for example, in case you get stuck in snow), and then need them later in the week.

      You can ask yourself, ‘Is this a coincidence, or was my angel urging me to follow a certain behaviour?’ I felt the strongest urge one day to cancel my father’s taxi service to the hospital for a routine appointment. Instead, I drove to his house and took him myself. As we left I gave him a long hug – it turned out this was my final opportunity to do so before he died.

      Then a lady I know insisted her husband visit his cousin, who had been seriously ill. Although the cousin had seemed well on the way to recovery, she told her husband it was important he visit in case anything happened, warning him that he would regret not making the time to go. As it happened, it was their last meeting. Tragically his cousin died shortly afterwards. Did my friend’s inner urging come from a similar source to my own? I expect this paragraph may have jogged your memory and made you think of similar experiences of your own. Most people have them from time to time in their lives.

      I could keep on citing examples if I sat here long enough, but the point is, we’ve all had these ‘coincidences’ happen to us. Is it angels, spirits or a psychic connection we make with the other person concerned? Often (although not always) with angel experiences, there is a little added extra. Maybe two strange coincidences happen together, or a series of bizarre happenings coincide to save our lives, and we are left wondering how and why. Some people might call this a simple coincidence, but again, they are missing the magic. This is why I write things down; I like to see the patterns that occur.

      Random people who don’t know each other and may live on opposite sides of the world could have almost identical experiences. These people have never met, never shared their experiences (which may have happened many years apart), and the only connection between them is that at some point in their lives they shared their story with me! I thank God every day that people have trusted me with their angel experiences, because it is only through reading many thousands of encounters over the years that I have been able to learn, through patterns, what happens and why. But, of course, there is still so much more to learn …

      Angel encounters come from far and wide. I currently live in the UK, and stories come to me from all over the country as well as all over the world. It fascinates me that similar stories might come from Japan, South Africa and Australia in the same month, from people who don’t know each other, yet their experiences can be uncannily similar. This alone brings great magic. Angels interact with us in so many ways, but the incidences are not isolated or unrepeated.

       They can bring information we wouldn’t normally learn until the future but which we need right now to calm and comfort us.

       They can bring a sensation of love and peace, which gives us a sense of well-being at times of great stress.

       They can bring us white feathers as a sign that they are nearby or to act as confirmation that everything will be okay.

       They might bring any number of gifts as signs that they are with us. Small coins are popular!

       They interact with humankind using music, scents, feelings and sensations or bringing signs of many different types.

       They can bring helpful people into our lives or alert us to things that will assist us.

       They can and do literally save human lives in the most unusual of ways – sometimes very dramatically.

      Have angels helped you? I’m sure as you read through this book you’ll recognise readers’ stories, which may feel familiar to you or seem similar to experiences that you or your family and friends have been through. Angels’ techniques do vary a little, but the end results are usually the same. It’s important to them that we don’t feel alone and that we know they are always around to help us – and help us they do.

       True-Life Stories of Angelic Beings

      My sister Debbie recently got married in Cornwall, England. For those of you who aren’t familiar with this part of the country, it’s the gorgeous ‘foot’ of the UK; a narrow strip of land surrounded by sea and a favourite area for my family.

      I lived in Cornwall with my husband for 18 months, and currently two of my sisters live in the county. I missed my sisters and this area of sandy beaches and fishermen’s villages very much, so we’ve just moved back ourselves. The trip is a long one from our old Midlands home. In theory, it’s possible to do the trip in around four and a half hours, but it’s inevitable that at least one stop (usually three) and various roadworks mean the trip is often six to seven hours or more.

      Our drive to the wedding was fairly uneventful, the wedding itself was small and memorable (in a good way) and the sun came out even though it was December. My favourite photograph is one of my mum Maggie, the bride Debbie and myself with my sister Madeline (my co-author on another book). We are standing on the balcony of the hotel with the bright-blue sea in the background. It just sums up the wedding completely! It was wonderful.
