Absolutely! When my son was 4 or 5 he told me that he woke up and saw a beautiful woman dressed in a flowing gossamer dress hovering over him (below the ceiling). The room was pitch dark and she was a beautiful, loving figure. He wasn't afraid.
I totally believed him. He had absolutely no reason to make it up and he didn't know anything about ghosts/guardian angels, etc.
He just described her and I said that he was soooo lucky to have seen his guardian angel.
He also mentioned that the room was dark. She didn't emit light
like a lightbulb. She was made of light. The rest of the room
remained dark.
I totally 100% believe him.

Yes, I believe in angels and guardian angels. I have found that the Bible is true. Both the Jewish scriptures ( what we Christians erroneously call the Old Testament) and the New Testament, testify that there are angels.
Jesus is recorded in the Bible as saying that each child has an angel that is assigned just to them. The Catholic Church teaches that that angel continues to be assigned to us all of our life on earth. I have no reason to not believe that.
When I was 21 and in the USAF, I was driving across a Taxi-way( The place where aircraft taxi from the hanger to the runway)
in very thick fog. Usually, the Air Force truck I drove had a radio in
it so that I could call the control tower to ask if it was OK to cross
it. The truck I was driving at the time had no radio.
When I was part way across, I had an extremely strong urge to
back up along with experiencing great fear. As I was backing up,
a bomber went past, right in front of my truck. It was so close that it's right wing passed over the top of my truck. If I had not had that urge and acted on it, I would have been killed and so would the 5 people that were the crew of the aircraft.
Was it an angel that warned me and saved my life, or was it the Holy Spirit directly? I don't know, but that was 43 years ago and I'm still alive.

I don't believe in Guardian Angels as I am a Christian and they are not mentioned in the teachings of Jesus Christ. I belive they originated in the Zoroastrian religion and have been adopted by other religions like some forms of Islam, Judaism and some denominations of Christianity which include sources other than the teachings of Jesus in some religious maters.
As for Angels in general I am undecided.

No I don't. I feel it's a little arrogant to believe I have my own personal angel there to do my bidding. That and there were plenty of times my so-called guardian angel could have helped but didn't. So no, I don't believe.

We were told about them at school, but I've had no reason to believe. I know people who've attended Angel Workshops and have spoken about the different angels they've met during the session.

Yes, however they are not in the sense that you know. They can be any number of metaphysical beings. Someone's spirit may guide you without your knowing. What they are are those urges that you feel in situations of choice within your life. They govern fate not destiny, because they don't actually hold you under control. You still choose, but they help you towards a good Fate. They may or may not always be good though. Some time the ocurrence of bad luck is within their control. They may intentionally put you in harm's way to end their service and ascend or reincarnate, So whether or not you listen to your inner voice or not is your choice.

Well, if I do have a guardian angel, he needs to learn a lesson or two!

yes, I think my grandma and Sister Lidoria are both my guardian angels. I've always had a sense that everything would be alright - no matter how deep in trouble I got myself.
