A Thought for each Day. April 1. The road that leads us to home is winding, but our angels are kind and let us go as slowly as we need to in order to complete our journey. ~~~~~~ 2. No matter how many messages we receive, phone calls we get, emails we download,the best message of all is that we are loved by those who will never stop loving us. ~~~~~~ 3. The Angel of the Lord encampeth around about them that fear him, and delivereth them. ~~~~~~ 4. An Angel sat by an empty tomb one day and told two women there was hope for a new life. It's never too late to begin again. ~~~~~~ 5. Christ, The Lord, is risen today, Sons of God and Angels say, Raise your joys and triumphs high, Sing, ye heavens, and earth rely. ~~~~~~ 6. Love finds us all, one way or another. Love gives us reason and hope. Love wraps its wings around our weakness and carries us all the way home. ~~~~~~ 7. At the round earth's imagined corners, blow your trumpets, angels, and arise, arise from death, you numberless infinities of souls. ~~~~~~ 8. Cherubim are angels who do the buisness of heaven. If they carried briefcases they would be filled with love and judjment in equal measure according to the mercies of God. ~~~~~~ 9. Be it ours, when we cannot see the face of God, to trust under the shadow of his wings. ~~~~~~ 10. If you've looked to the stars at night to find an angel chorus, you've done well. If you've looked into your heart to find angel's song, you've done better. ~~~~~~ 11. Then cherish pity, lest you drive the angels from your door. ~~~~~~ 12. We can choose to be glum or choose to be glad. Either way, angels are by our side. It's up to us whether we choose to enjoy our walk together. ~~~~~~ 13. If Angels had coffee breaks and were able to listen in, we'd know more about the miracles around us. ~~~~~~ 14. And the Lord answered the angel that talked with me with good words and comfortable words. ~~~~~~ 15. The watchful care of angels must be much like a nany who has come to love another's child as her own. ~~~~~~ 16. It is easy to imagine angels hovering round our bed when we are infants and so vunerable. Yet when we are grown, it's more difficult to imagine angels willing to stick around and yet, they always do. ~~~~~~ 17. Angels can be a comforting presence when life is so unpredictable. ~~~~~~ 18. The final perfection of the human intellect is to be united to the angels by contemplation. ~~~~~~ 19. New beginnings come more often to mortals than to angels, for mortals are bound by time and angels bask in eternity. ~~~~~~ 20. Between robes, harps, haloes, and wings we wonder how angels manage to keep up. If only we could see the burden we carry ourselves, we would't wonder at all. ~~~~~~ 21. We can not but believe that all miracles, whether wrought by angels or some other means, are wrought by those who love us in a true and godly sort. ~~~~~~ 22. We spend so much time with fairy tales and stories of enchanted places, Yet, each of us are being loved and protected by a being from another realm. It is more than essence of "Once upon a time" It is the essence of eternity. ~~~~~~ 23. Around our pillows golden ladders rise, and up and dopwn the skies, with winged sandals shod, The angels come, and go,the messengers of God ! ~~~~~~ 24. When we cry alone we don't notice angelic hands on our shoulders. But they are there. ~~~~~~ 25. When you look ahead you can only see what you can do, not the help you'll receive along the way. ~~~~~~ 26. Riding on the wings of angels you can see your life from a distance and put into perspective the small and unimportant concerns that hold you down. ~~~~~~ 27. Tis only when they spring to heaven that Angels reveal themselves to you. ~~~~~~ 28. Let each new blossom peeking out at the sun remind you of angels luxuriating in Heaven's light. Then lay your head back, feel the same sun on your face, count your blessings, and enjoy the luxury the angels do. ~~~~~~ 29. We trust, in plumed procession, for such the angels go rank after rank, with even feet and uniforms of snow. ~~~~~~ 30. The plants breathe oput and we breathe in, not noticing the exchange. And so we walk with angels, seldom noticing the company we keep. ~~~~~~
May 1. The smallest of heaven's angels is more powerful than the largest of earthly problems. ~~~~~~ 2. The angels all were singing out of tune, and hoarse with having little else to do, excepting to wind up the sun and moon, or curb a runaway young star or two. ~~~~~~ 3. Somewhere on this road of life you will need to be rescued, whether you realize it or not. Every night be grateful; just in case today was that day. ~~~~~~ 4. In the village it takes to raise a child, many neighbors are unseen. ~~~~~~ 5. We do not speak the language of angels, we do not see life through their eyes. Where we see the impossible they see the impossible they see the miraculous. Where we see the unlovable, they see an opportunity to love. ~~~~~~ 6. I know not, oh I know not, what joys await us there, what radiancy of glory, what bliss beyond compare. ~~~~~~ 7. Angels do the work of love: Love is around us, love within us, love compelling us, and love igniting us. ~~~~~~ 8. Make yourself familiar with the angels, and behold them frequently in spirit; for without being seen, they are present with you. ~~~~~~ 9. When we grant mercy to someone who deserves our forgiveness, the angelic self within us becomes more visible. ~~~~~~ 10. I love to hear the story which angels voices tell. ~~~~~~ 11. O Woman! In our house of ease, Uncertain, coy, and hard to please..When pain and anquish wrong the brow A ministering angel thou ! ~~~~~~ 12. We shall take part in the feast of the angels by contemplating not only the angels, but also, together with them God Himself. ~~~~~~ 13. When we truly forgive those who have wronged us we feel as light as angel's wings and free as a child at recess. ~~~~~~ 14. Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey toward it, casts the shadow of our burden behind us. ~~~~~~ 15. Twists and turns, corners we cannot negotiate. This is the nature of an angel's world: Helping us with the unknown challenges as well as the ones that stare us in the face. ~~~~~~ 16. Angels do not age. They do not know how we feel as we look in the mirror and see that we are changing. And they do not know our joy of remembering the years and the moments that have passed. ~~~~~~ 17. Good actions are the invisible hinges on the door of Heaven. ~~~~~~ 18. We can learn much more from angels about goodness and light that we will ever learn from this world in which we exist. ~~~~~~ 19. Recognizing the presence of angels around you can feel like walking from the shadows into the warmth of sunshine, Suddenly, you feel the nourishment that comes from someone taking the time to look out just for you and you alone. ~~~~~~ 20. O Happy band of pilgrims, look upward to the skies, Where such light affliction shall win you a prize. ~~~~~~ 21. To receive grace means that we are given good things in this life, such as angels, whether we deserve them or not. ~~~~~~ 22. The command to love our neighbor embraces the holy angels also,seeing that so great offices of mercy have been performed by them on our behalf. ~~~~~~ 23. Keep your eyes on the road you travel. That is the only one you have the power to change. That is the only one your angels will be walking today. ~~~~~~ 24. As much of heaven is visible as we have eyes to see. ~~~~~~ 25. When you live with a heart of compassion you have the heart of an angel. When you fill your life with deeds of compassion you do the work of an angel. ~~~~~~ 26. Ask your angel for an added measure of patience when every question asled is a silly one and every one you try to help works against you. ~~~~~~ 27. Angels sometimes come in choirs and sometimes come alone; but most often when they aren't expected. ~~~~~~ 28. Angels who have touched the face of God will guide your path today. ~~~~~~ 29. The kindness of angels has always been available. You invoke it yourself when you show love to another person. ~~~~~~ 30. A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows. ~~~~~~ 31. Angels are like good friends who go to sleep last at the sleepover, who wake up first in the morning, who listen more than they talk, and give more than they take. ~~~~~~
June 1. Angels fly, wings or not.It is Heaven's power that lifts them. ~~~~~~ 2. When you're in too deep, over your head it's never too late to call for help. ~~~~~~ 3. The beauty of an angel, is not its robe, halo, or harp: Its beauty is its intention. ~~~~~~ 4. In your deepest distress you are often covered by Angel's wings on every side. ~~~~~~ 5. Seashells cling to the sea.Snowcraps cling to the mountains. Stones cling to the riverbed. Like instinctive moments in nature, your angel clings to you throughout your life. ~~~~~~ 6. Whatever we face before sundown, we will never face it alone. ~~~~~~ 7. Men cannot know future things except in their causes, or by God's revelation. The angels know the future in the same way, but much more acutely. ~~~~~~ 8. In a world that feels powerless and alone, I'm glad angels don't depend on our strength to make a difference. ~~~~~~ 9. You often find an Angel in the smile of a child. ~~~~~~ 10. Angels do not die as we know. They do not lose their loved ones, young or old, to another place. But they hold onto the loved ones we have lost until we can get there to hold them again. ~~~~~~ 11. Angels connect heaven to earth in the most loving of ways. ~~~~~~ 12. No matter how alone you feel, you'll find your journey is a shared one. ~~~~~~ 13. Millions of spiritual creatures wall the earth unseen, both when we wake, and when we sleep: All these with ceaseless praise hos works behold both day and night. ~~~~~~ 14. Angels do heavenly work on earth. In this way, we are the same, injectiong good in our world at every opportunity. But they do not share our passion in clinging to this world because they do not know it as "home". ~~~~~~ 15. O world invisible, we view thee, O world intangible, we touch thee, O world unknowable, we know thee. ~~~~~~ 16. Angels walk by our side every day in every place. They love us no matter what happens. They are sent from love to us, as an extention of God's hand. ~~~~~~ 17. By the name of Angel is signified, generally, a messenger; and most often a messenger of God: and by a messenger of God is signified anything that makes known his extraordinary presence. ~~~~~~ 18. The touch of the sun on a warm sunny day must be what the touch of an angel is like. ~~~~~~ 19. And if we know love by hope that which as yet we have not reached, how much more shall we love it when we reach it! ~~~~~~~ 20. Beside us,behind us, before us, below us. In every imaginable place someone is by our side. ~~~~~~ 21. Summer begins with a swoop and a splash, like angels scattering on the wind for the ride of their lives. ~~~~~~ 22. Life is always more crowded that we perceive it to be. Remind yourself that each person around you is protected and loved by at least one being you can't see. ~~~~~~ 23. Short arm needs man to reach to Heaven So ready is Heaven to stoop to him. ~~~~~~ 24. Be gentle with those who come your way. Chances are they have not felt the presence of an angel for a long time. ~~~~~~ 25. God reaches his hand to you through angels you have never seen as well as people you've seldom been without. ~~~~~~ 26. Sometimes when we feel like no one is on our side, we have to remind ourselves that no matter what obstacles of life crowd our path, we are never abandoned without an angel walking besdie us. ~~~~~~ 27. The start of each day is a promise of love. ~~~~~~ 28. No coward soul is mine No trembler in the world's storm-troubled sphere: I see Heaven's glories shine, And faith shines equal, arming me from fear. ~~~~~~ 29." Pass in, pass in, "the angels say. " In to the upper doors. Nor count compartments of the floors, But mount to paradise by the stairway of surprise." ~~~~~~ 30. Angels do not spend their energy holding onto grudges. They us their energy instead, trying to help you let go of them. ~~~~~~
