Angels Over Nickel Mines
I learned this weekend, from reading Ira Wagler's blog, about a recent tragedy in the Nickle Mines, PA area, when a horrific traffic accident resulted in the death of three Amish young people. Others were injured. The two who died instantly were brothers, the oldest in their family.
That same evening, the nine-year-old brother of the two who died was outdoors when he saw an amazing sight. He ran to tell his mother that he had seen angels in the sky. They learned about the deaths after that.
Last night I heard that angels have been sighted before in Nickel Mines--at the time of the school shooting tragedy that took the lives of a number of young Amish girls. Some of the people who saw angels then over the school building also heard beautiful singing. Not everyone saw them, and the press apparently never heard about it.
They and we have a gracious, comforting Father Who makes His presence known in the darkest of times.

What an amazing account! Hubby and I were spending the weekend in PA and were just a few miles down the road from the accident. So sad, but the angels are a great comfort, I am sure. Thanks for sharing that story.
