The Dream That Woke Me Up
Recently, I had this dream where our dog managed to slip out of the backyard. In the dream, the left gate on our fence was wide open. We hardly ever use that gate, so it’s not something we think to check often. The dream jolted me awake, and for a brief moment, I thought, “I should go outside and make sure the gate’s closed”.
Of course, I brushed it off. I got up, let the dog out, and headed to the kitchen to whip up some breakfast.
Steve Gets the Same Nudge
A little while later, Steve woke up with the exact same thought. “Go check the left gate,” a voice seemed to whisper to him. And just like me, he shrugged it off.
The Neighbour Who Became an Angel
Fast forward a few minutes, and the doorbell rang. Standing on our front step was a woman we’d never seen before, holding a very happy-looking white dog. She explained that she’d been out walking her own dog when she spotted Tux trotting down the next street over. She recognized him, she said, because she walks by our house every day and often sees him peeking out the window.
And just like that, Tuxie was back home – thanks to our angels, who clearly weren’t taking any chances that morning.
The Lesson Behind the Story
When Steve and I ignored our instincts (one day we’ll learn, right?), our angels simply enlisted a neighbor who was willing to step in. That’s how it goes sometimes. Any of us can be someone else’s angel without even realizing it.
Strengthening Your Intuition
So, what’s the takeaway from all this?
Pay attention to those little nudges…your instincts, your dreams, those sudden thoughts of “I should…” that pop up out of nowhere. The more you act on them, the stronger they become. Intuition is like any other skill: nobody starts off as an Olympian. Some folks might be naturally in tune, but everyone can strengthen that inner voice with a bit of practice.
Angel blessings. Let them guide you—and every now and then, allow yourself to be an angel for someone else.
