When we are very young, we form a friendship that can sustain us throughout
our lives - the friendship of our guardian angel. Remember how trusting
we were as small children? We believed that our angel was there to protect
us, especially when we felt alone and afraid, in the dark or when everyone
else in the house was asleep.
We are older now and worldly wise, yet what a joy it can be for us to
rediscover our trust in that old friend. What a relief it can be to ask
our guardian angel to support and protect us once again whenever we feel
alone or afraid. This friendship is a gift from our childhood that we will
never outgrow.
Our angel is also a champion in our times of deepest need, one who will
carry our prayers to heaven to make sure that they are heard. Our angel
understands our needs....listens to all our prayers....is ready to
intercede for us and offer wisdom and comfort when we need it most. Each
of us is blessed with these intercessors - we need only have faith enough
to call upon them!
An angel can be a person, too, a flesh-and-blood friend who coaches us
through the game of life. This kind of angel is often someone we knew as
a child; a favortie teacher, a minister, a neightbor, a teammate, our
parents, grandparents, beloved relatives, or close friends. These are
people so devoted to our well-being that they seem like angels to us.
They are role models who teach us about virtue and the passages that lie
ahead. They lend insight and courage during the challenging times of our
lives.
When we need someone special to talk to about our hopes, our fears, or our problems - when we need inspiration - our personal angels are there for us. With our angels to turn to, we need never feel alone.
When a baby is born....she receives a guardian angel who will guide her
forever. At this stage, the baby is too young to pray for herself, to call
upon her angel, so the angel proceeds without being asked. This angel loves
the infant unconditionally and is with her at all times. A baby's angel is
the one who helps steady her with her first steps. Her guardian angel
gives the child a boost of confidence as she struggles to overcome an
obstacle or learn a new skill. Her angel keeps her company through the
night, calming her fears and bringing happy dreams.
As the baby grows into childhood....his guardian angel becomes a playmate
and constant companion. Did you ever wonder why so many children talk to
an "imaginary" friend? Perhaps this is part of a deepening relationship
with their guardian angels, whose presence is felt, or even seen and heard,
only by the trusting child. The angel delights in the child's growth,
exploration, and budding sense of self. The angel also feels the child's
frustrations and gives extra support when he faces challenges to his
self-esteem. How important it is for the child to feel comfortable about
talking with this lifelong friend.
As the growing child becomes a teen....suddenly, and yet by almost
imperceptible degrees, the child enters that fragile and wonderful
never-never land. If she has an abiding friendship with her angel, this
may become the one friend who will never desert her when moods or fashions
change, an ally to support her in times of turbulence. These years bring
new awakenings of sophistication, independence, and intellectual
questioning. How important it is for teenagers to hold on to their trusting
friendships with their guardian angels.
When we are adults....we may need to give ourselves permission to continue
praying to our guardian angels. It is sad to think how many of us feel we
should outgrow them. Yet, we never outgrow our need for this relationship
of unparalleled trust and support. One guardian angel wants to help us be
good parents, to develop our qualities of wisdom, patience, and
inspiration. Our angel also enjoys coaching us as spouses and partners,
to help us be loyal and trusting, romantic and practical, each in its own
turn. And, at times when the little child inside us needs attention, our
angel responds to our call for help, lifting us up and reminding us that
we are loved.
As we approach the end of our years....we begin to reminisce with our
angel about times gone by. This is our most loyal companion, the one who
has remained with us through all of life's trails, successes, missteps,
and lessons. How delighted our angel is to deepen our memories and to
help us share our experiences with the young ones in our lives. How
proud our angel is to help us prepare for the end of our life on this
earth and the beginning of our everlasting joy.
