I've always believed that we have guardian angels, even during more than 30 years of atheism. There have been several moments in my life when I was sure I had encountered one. But none was as profound as the following experience. I feel certain that an angel stepped in and saved the lives of my two children.
On July 9, 1999, our area was hit with a devastating series of thunderstorms that tore the roofs from several homes, downed trees and wires, and left us without power for days. This happened in the late evening, just around nightfall.
For most of that day, however, the weather was beautiful with no sign of things to come. My two youngest sons and I were at my mother's house, visiting with my stepfather while she was having her hair done and getting groceries.
The boys were in the sandbox, and as I watched them play I glanced at the 60 foot pine trees that edge my mother's property. For no reason at all, I set my sights on one particular tree just as I heard a voice tell me, "That tree is going to fall on the sandbox."
I became uneasy, and try as I might I couldn't shake the feeling that this tree was, indeed, going to fall. But when? And how?
As the day wore on, the sky darkened, and it was evident that a severe storm was approaching. My stepfather drove me home to shut windows, and when the kids and I returned to my mother's house they ran straight for the sandbox. Terror gripped me, for I remembered what I had heard and understood it's meaning.
I screamed for the boys to get away from the sandbox and ushered them into the house. Moments later, a fierce storm ripped through, lasting only minutes, but the crashing outside was awful to hear.
When things had calmed down, I went outside to survey the damage. A large tree lay in front of the Pentecostal Holiness church across the street, my neighbors were missing part of their roof. And then my eyes fell on a sight I couldn't believe. There, laying in the sandbox, was the top 20 feet of that tree.
True story.

Besides a million near misses I should've been smashed with. No. They protect the elect and serve God.
They don't appear in movies and dress like women.
Of course only when God asks them to, but that's over now.

Since there is no credible evidence for the existence of angels, the answer is no.
Someone claiming that they have experience of (or have seen) an angel would be an extraordinary claim, it would require extraordinary evidence. So far, none has been forthcoming.

No, why would send an angel to protect you instead of not putting in that situation in the first place?

Yeah, I am particularly fond of angles, whether acute or obtuse.
The other day I was looking out my window and saw someone's car trunk open, there was an acute angle from the trunk to the bottom of the trunk lid, and an obtuse angle from the rear window to the top of the trunk. 180 degrees of angle goodness, there!
Oh wait... you said... ah nevermind.
