Quotes on ANGELS

"Angels are God's special helpers." ~Our Daily Bread

May angels rest beside your door,
May you hear their voices sing.
May you feel their loving care for you,
May you hear their peace bells ring.
May angels always care for you,
And not let you trip and fall,
May they bear you up on angel's wings,
May they keep you standing tall.
May they whisper wisdom in your ear,
May they touch you when you need,
May they remove from you each trace of fear,
May they keep you from feeling greed.
May they fill you with their presence,
May they show you love untold,
May they always stand beside you
And make you ever bold.
May they teach you what you need to know
About life here and here-after.
May they fill you always with their love
And give you the gift of laughter

POEMS


ANGEL ROCK

If you listen very carefully
and turn your eyes to the clouds
You may hear the gentle strains
of sweet melodies from afar.

There may be a soft crash of a drum
or there may be a loud note from a horn
There may be trumpets or harps
or other instruments galore.

It is the angels who are practicing
when you hear that far away sound
That soft tinkle in the heavens
well, that's angel rock that abounds."
~Catherine McKenzie

~•✿•~

ANGEL WINGS

I imagine having Angel wings
And wonder where I'd fly
For a moment I want to sing
Lost between the wonder and the why.

In what sweet heaven would I find true love?
That flame of sweet desire
But then I see my baby's face
And know she is all I require."
~Michelle Severinsen

~•✿•~

"I hear the Angels singing
a sweet song of Joy
They send their Love
to all human beings.
They dance and praise
for each and every one,
in hopes you will hear them
on even your worst of days,
That they are there to Love you
and guide you along your way.
Listen closely and you will hear
their song of Joy
and you will feel them near."
~Kim Bayne "Live Life Positively" © 2014

WALKING WITH ANGELS

We're sojourners in this world
And only passing through.
We're overcomers in this place
To prove that we are true.
It's to test your faith
And refine like gold,
Our depth of character,
That can't be bought or sold.

It's heaven on earth we long for,
But as we travel along the way,
There are hardships and adversities,
That make it hard to stay
Steadfast in right ways,
While knowing we don't belong
To the pressure and the madness
Of a time that's all gone wrong.

So lift up your eyes
Be strong yet humble.
Be careful and steady
In the tests and trouble.
For if you have much suffered,
To show great love for you,
Your life will be rewarded,
And all your dreams come true.

~Diane Wiltshire-Batey

AN ANGEL HAS SPOKEN

An Angel has spoken
Her words did I hear
Be not afraid my child
I am always so near.

I lighten your path
I hold you within
You are not alone
The veil is so thin.

I hear you in silence
Your fears do I sense
Darkness is ending
Light shall commence.

Your pains do I share
My heart reaches for you
I weep when you suffer
My love is so true.

As a child you called to me
You needed me there
My wings to protect you
To guide you with care.

With age...you forgot me
You looked another way
But I am still with you
How I long for the day.

As days turn to months
And months turn to years
You find yourself seeking
The Angels in tears.

I fly to you swiftly
With wings soaring high
To embrace your sweet spirit
Behold...it is I.

I walk with you always
Never shall I stray
I am your Angel
I will show you the way.

~Touched by the Love of Angels~

WHAT DO ANGELS LOOK LIKE?

* Like the old lady who returned your wallet yesterday.
* Like the quiet friend who told you that your eyes light up the world when you smile.
* Like the small child who showed you the wonder in simple things.
* Like the poor man who offered to share his lunch with you.
* Like the rich man who showed you it really possible, if only you believe.
* Like the stranger who just happened to come along when you had lost your way.
* Like the friend who touched your heart when you didn't think you had one left who cared how you felt.
* Angels come in all sizes and shapes, all ages and in many ways.
* Some with freckles, some with dimples, some with wrinkles, some without.
* They come disguised as friends, enemies, teachers, students, lovers and pets. Rainbows and Raindrops. Scents and colors.
* They don't take life too seriously, they travel light.
* They leave no forwarding address,
they ask for nothing in return.
* Sometimes They wear sneakers with gossamer wings.
* They are hard to find when your eyes are closed, but..
When you look with your heart and choose to see -They are everywhere ....

Thought for Today - Simplicity

"Peace is simplicity. Simplicity is beauty. Choose a day as your day of simplicity. Speak little, and listen with attention. Do something incognito and nice for a person you are close to. Eat simple and natural food. Create time periods for not doing anything - just walk, look around, live the moment. Have your mind open to a more profound and silent sensitivity. Appreciate each scene and each person as they are. In the evening, write down your discoveries. Observe the state of your mind." ~Thought for Today-UK

Thought for Today on Respect

"Experience the bliss of Self-Respect and give respect to others at all times. When I am prejudiced against another, my narrow vision and small heart lower my self-dignity and self-worth." ~Thought for Today-UK

"Respect is never catching anyone out, never pulling at their shortcomings, so that they become a target for laughter. It means watching and nurturing strength and it is based on the awareness that everyone has value, because everyone is unique. It rests also on humility, because humility knows that what's visible in a fool is only a chapter in their whole story." ~Thought for Today-UK

"Respect is to recognise and appreciate the unique role of everyone. When I find myself having negative thoughts toward anyone, I need to look at the special role this person has to play. When I look closely, I will realise how talented they are, and will develop new respect for them. Without this particular person, the drama of life would not be complete." ~Thought for Today-UK
