What if an angel visits you?

As I listened in church recently, I thought about the common place of angels coming to visit people on Earth. How many people in the Bible were visited by angels?! Would we recognize an angel if they came to visit us? What does an angel look like? Is it the depiction that we often see of the white robed, halo above their head, and lights surrounding them? Or is it something more commonplace? Do we pass angels on the street everyday?
I would like to think that I come across an angel everyday. I think about each child that I work with and how I can learn something from them. I think about how I can help them and be their angel in return. I think about the messages that the angels in the Bible brought and how we don't hear those same kind of messages anymore. Maybe it is because we doubt. Maybe it is because if someone were to say that they were visited by an angel, we would call them crazy. Maybe it is because we don't deserve the privilege of being graced with the presence of an angel.
What would you do if an angel visited you?
