Angels

An angel is a spiritual being believed to act as an agent of God.  Angels are not composed of physical matter but are spirit beings created by God (Heb. 1:14). Angels do serve a purpose for humans.  Each one of us has at least one, maybe more, that are assigned to each and every one of us and one helped to strengthen Jesus (Luke 22:43).  They’re commanded to “encamp all around us” and keep us from falling, getting hurt, who have been and will be “…from this time forth and forever to be with us”… and even strengthen us, and minister to us (Luke 22:43, Psalm 34:7, 91:10-13, 103:21).  

My two angels are the form of my dear mother Barbara and loving grandmother Nan.  My mother had the distinct pleasure of being born on her mother's birthday, June 26th.  Those two always had a special bond.  They both died at the age of 87, my grandmother in the month of February and mother in the month of March.

I was blessed to have these two women of faith and love guiding me on my journey.  They were examples of love and kindness, lifting and encouraging others.  When I was jobless, my mother called me every morning to ask what I was doing that day.  Whenever I had a need or challenge in my life - they both were lifting you up in prayer.  And they both knew how to laugh and smile, neither of them ever knowing a stranger. They instilled values in me that molded me for multiple roles of a  woman as wife, mother, sister, aunt and friend.

"Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares."
 Hebrews 13:2
