Sweet Angels

Img_3151Img_3148Img_3156Img_3047Img_3154

It seems to me there is love thick enough to cut these days. I think the angels are working over time… angels overhead, angels in the corner, angels at our side, angels upstairs and downstairs. Love abound, scooping us up and holding us tight.

The angels are crafty and clever too, spoiling us silly. The angels indulge our sweet tooth and make us  hot dinners, it seems the angels bring us exactly what we need before we know what it is that we want. Obviously the angels have their ears close to our pulse, listening to every little sound we make, answering even our tiniest wishes. How do they do that?

Dear angels your halos are golden.

    I always feel that even though they are always guarding over us, they only show themselves when we need them most.

    I agree with Caffienated Cowgirl. The angels come to us just when we need them most. It has always been at my most difficult times that the angels are in evidence. May they care for you and comfort you all now x

    I think angels love to be busy and have a chance to make their presence known. I’m so glad they are surrounding you and your family Corey.

    Corey,
    I know exactly where the angels come from, they are a gift from God, whether they are in human or spirit form:
    “For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands…” Psalm 91:11-12
    He whispers to them what you need when you need it and they respond. He is meeting all your needs with His vast riches and caring for you in His most tender care and loving you through human connection.
    My prayer for you is that He will fill your days with ministering angels whose touch will carry you from strength to strength. May these tender mercies cover you with love and healing life.
    Blessings

    The way you write it’s so full of love and emotions, Corey. So sweet and tender!
    The angels go both ways… And, if you feel the thickness of love flying through the ocean and the continent, sweet Corey, I assure you that each and every one of us (your friends) feel the love coming both ways. A big hug to you!
    Love*

    Corey,
    I’ve always wondered if, perhaps, you are an angel.
    Loving wishes to your father,

    Sending another angel for your shoulder Corey. I’m glad you are surrounded by love and caring because I know you are doling it out 150% to your sweet Dad and Mom at this fragile time. We talk about you constantly, trying to send healing thoughts.
    Bob read your post yesterday and looked up Willows location. We see you are are quite near Lake Almanor where our dearest friends have a vacation home! Maybe you’ve looked out to Mt. Lassen and enjoyed its beauty over the years. Now I pray you can take a break and look at something beautiful nearby that you can share with your Dad while hospitalized.
    Be strong Corey – it’s so hard I know.

    Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it! (Hebrews 13:2 NLT)
    Yes… angels are all around us. Beautifully written.

    I’ve been without my computer for several days and am now at the library so I can check in with you. You’ve been on my mind. I’m sorry to hear your father is having a rough time with healing. And glad to hear angels are bringing gifts. Be well.

    So glad there are so many angels in your lives. And thank you for the link to “Charlie Bit Me”….although my husband may think a little differently on that subject. My 2 daughters and I are doing constant variations of it with bad English accents. We love it but it is putting him over the edge!!!!

    I’m with the others who have commented Corey, you are an angel. 🙂
    So it stands to reason that you are surrounded by so many, arms thrown wide to hold you and soothe you.
    Thinking of you. May you always be in the company of angels.

    Oh Corey! This is lovely! I just read your post below. Continued prayer for no pain and an appetite to grow is what we will pray.
    We are watching the same process with my beloved FIL. He now has a feeding tube but he can still choose to eat as well. It has been difficult to watch the change in the relationship of my in-laws. She growing sadder and he growing weaker.
    But we do still have our angels…
