Angels all around.. if you look for them Our Loose Canon... with Canon Eric Woods DL Do you believe in angels? I do, and I have been remembering, during this quiet latest lockdown, exactly why. I need to go back over 25 years. I was still a newish vicar of Sherborne and, unlike my usual self, was feeling rather ill. My biologist wife thought it was appendicitis. I protested, but eventually did what I was 26
told and went to see my GP. Dr David Townsend greeted me with the words: “Ah, a walking appendix.” “How do you know?” I replied. “Trust me”, he said, “I’m a doctor.” (David has a dry sense of humour, which is probably why we are good friends to this day). David ordered me to go home, pack a bag and get someone to take me to Yeovil Hospital – while he made some telephone calls. I obeyed, and later that day I was operated on for a bursting appendix. I don’t remember anything more until I came round in the middle of the night with a hideous pain in my right arm where a drip had been inserted. Coming from a
‘stiff upper lip’ tradition I determined to put up with it. But then my angel appeared. She was blonde and beautiful (yes, I know what you are thinking. Poor old chap!) She also had a sort of Dutch accent. “You are in pain”, she said. “The drip has been put in wrong. I will transfer it to the other arm.” And so she did, and the relief was instantaneous. Next morning the staff nurse came to see me. (She was lovely too, and I subsequently married her – that is, conducted her wedding – and baptised her children in due course). My right arm was now black and blue from fingers to shoulder, but the drip was
resting easily in my left arm. “What’s been going on here?” she asked. I told her about my late-night visitor. “But we have no night nurse of that description”, she said. “That’s a real mystery.” There could be a number of explanations, of course. I prefer to think that I was visited by an angel. The word ‘angel’ comes from the Greek, ‘angelos’, meaning messenger. In the New Testament, ‘messenger of God’. To me, that nurse was indeed a messenger of God. I now see angels everywhere. Keep all your senses open to their possibility, and I promise you that you too will see ‘angels, angels, all around’.
