And from Huffington Post no less.
My daughter shared quite an extraordinary experience ...
"Mommy! Guess what happened last night? I saw three ANGELS!!! I woke up last night and there they were...watching me! One was tall and skinny and she was up on the curtains, another was on the other side of the curtains and she was smiling like the skinny angel. Then there was a little one that was kind of chubby sitting with her legs criss-cross applesauce on my stuffed animal bin! She was so cute, mom! She had a little look like she was going to giggle. They were all white but you could see through them. They were all looking at me and kept smiling, and I smiled back. Then, when I woke up this morning, the angels were gone."
Angels. My baby saw angels.
--SNIP--
My daughter has been told countless times, how her Father in Heaven loves and cherishes His beloved children. Much of her life has been immersed in learning of His Grace and His Glory. I have shared precious details of His Hand guiding every step of her glorious and miraculous journey. She has grown to believe.
And now she has seen His Angels...
How could we have every doubted it?
It's no wonder people believe in such nonsense if they take a child's dream to be factual evidence of the reality of the thing dreamed. It would be funny if it weren't so sad.

Unfortunately, it turns out to be exactly the opposite in real life.

She can take that Burpo brat with her - the "Heaven Is For Real" 15-minutes-of-famer.
And I'm sure millions of Xians who believe this glurge will enlist as well. Right? RIGHT? Hey, where'd all the believers go...

I will concede that this really happened when someone captures one of those buggers and we can all see it.

Wonder if this child is home schooled? Just sayin.... Off to ask my god of child rearing..

(57,349 posts)Well, she probably would have realized eventually that it was just part of a dream. You are the one brainwashing her into thinking it was some kind of miraculous woo and capitalizing on it, lady.
Yes, questioning and doubting are baaaaaaad. Believing in imaginary beings that watch you while you're sleeping is a good thing, it's not creepy at all.
I'm surprised the glurge fans in the other forum haven't glommed onto this.

(57,349 posts)I have night terrors and the things I see when I wake up would drive most people insane.
It can take as much as 10 minutes for me to snap out of it and I KNOW it's not real.
My reaction alone scares the crap out of the cats and dogs...
