I remember it well. There I was, a man who was told by my wife that she wanted a divorce...that she didn't love me at all and that she wanted me to move out. After 11 years of marriage, and 2 beautiful children, I thought my life was over. All I strived for...all I hoped and wished for ....all my dreams of a happy life with my wife and children as a happy family was gone in those few minutes. If you have ever experienced the heartbreak of divorce you know exactly what I refer to.

After that day, after I heard my wife say these things to me, I left my house, not knowing where to go and what to do. I was devastated and shocked.

I felt all broken up inside and having no place to go, I checked into a local motel and spent the night. I remember how cold and lonely I felt, lying there crying and so broken hearted.

I prayed that God would give me the strength to make sense out of all that was happening to me. I gradually started to feel better. I felt my body start to calm and somehow, a warm glow was spreading over my body, from the top of my head to the tips of my toes. The feeling that enveloped me was hard to describe. I have never felt that feeling ever and never have felt it since but it can best be described as a feeling of complete calmness and warmth and serenity and peace and love...all of these combined into one that swept over me and I knew

immediately that someone else was in charge of my destiny and that I would be fine. The feeling I had was comparable to when you were a child and your Mother would comfort you when you were sick and hold you close to her and stroke your head to make you feel better....that's what it can be compared to but many times stronger.

Another example: Were you ever lost and separated from you Mom in a store for a few minutes and then you found your Mother and saw her concerned face and then everything was all right again?

My head began to clear and with the strength I found at this point, I was able to piece together what I to do from that second forward and that was to not let this get me down and out....that life was worth living and I would be ok.

I will never forget the strength I found that night in that lonely, cold hotel room and I have not been the same since then. My life has changed for the better, my friends sense a change in me, and I am not the same person I once was. I often long for that special calmness I felt so very long ago ....that wonderful feeling of strength and loving and peace that changed my life....when I was convinced that I had a visit by a special angel who made it all seem right from that night onward.

I know that special presence is with me everyday of my life and all I have to do is be still to feel the presence of my special angel guiding me along the path I still have to take in this world. If you are quiet enough and still enough you will find that calmness also. It's there for you. All you have to do is open up your heart and clear your mind and you can seek and find exactly what I found so very long ago............that love is there all around you.

That's what is important in this life and nothing can take the place of it. It can be summed up in one word.
