Angels

Angels are the guardians of hope and wonder,
the keepers of magic and dreams.
Angels watch over you wherever you go,
keeping each day perfect
and promising a bright new tomorrow.
Wherever there is love, an angel is flying by.
Your guardian angel knows you inside and out
and loves you just the way you are.
Angels keep it simple and always travel light.
Remember to leave space in your relationships
so the angels have room to play.
Your guardian angel helps you find a place
when you feel there is no place to go.
Whenever you feel lonely,
a special angel drops in for tea.
Angels are with you every step of the way
and help you soar with amazing grace.
After all, we are angels in training;
all we have to do is spread our wings and fly.

Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

Footprints in the Sand
author unknown
One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand.
One belonged to him, and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of his life,
there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it.
Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when I needed you the most you would leave me."
The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child,
I love you and would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints, it was then I carried you."

If we were all little more like angels
the world be a heavenly place

Silence is often the language of angels.

Angels surround us, many of them cleverly disguised as friends.
