Don’t You Think You’ve Seen an Angel Today?

I just can’t help but thank God for all the blessings He has given us, and this includes sending His angels to guide, inspire and protect us in our life journey. He has sent us spiritual ones, those who have kept us from temptation and who have defended us even from dangers we do not see. He has also sent us people whose hearts are like kind angels, encouraging us and consoling us in times of our deepest need.

Angels are all around us, all the time, in the very air we breathe.” — Eileen Elias Freeman

I used to work as a field auditor, and I was able to travel a lot in many parts of the country, even in the remotest of places I’d never thought I’d be able to go to.

I’ve met a lot of people along the way, and I’ve seen many things that were new to me. But one thing remained constant. Wherever I went, God has provided for everything my friends and I ever needed. There were always good people who lent us a helping hand, people who hardly knew us, yet bestowed upon us the kind of trust and assistance given only to close family and friends.

I could still remember the people who accompanied us in our journey, those who gave us blankets for the night, those who helped us find a place to sleep in when the money we have was not enough, and yes, I can still remember the old couple who took us in as though we were their very own children.

Some people say that the world is already filled with so many harsh and cruel people who can’t wait to harm you or to steal from you.

But I can truly say that there are still many good people around us, God-sent angels who help us lift our burdens and make this journey a whole lot happier and worthwhile.

“I could not have made it this far had there not been angels along the way.” — Della Reese

“Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for in doing so, some have entertained angels without knowing it.” - Hebrews 13:2, WEBBE

Here is a peek at a song I’ve composed about angels when I was in high school.

You can find the whole song as well as a sample of my voice recording of it at my post “Did I Have an Encounter with an Angel?”.

WINGS IN MY LIFE

(Original song composition)

I.

I know that there are reasons
for rainy days to come
I know that there are times
when my tears can't help but fall

But such times are not the times
when I should feel alone
Somebody's hand is on my shoulder
Somebody's eyes are on my soul

CHORUS:

('Cause/And) There have been angels in my life
There have been wings that carried me to reach the sky
To dream my dreams and be the best I can be
There have been wings that carried me

There have been angels in my life
Somebody stood by me when all the world was grey
And now I only pray
To thank the Lord for giving you to me

Did I Have an Encounter with an Angel?

Have you ever wondered whether the person you’ve met was actually an angel in disguise? While there are people whose kindness reminds us of angelic qualities, there are instances when we couldn’t help but wonder if we have met an angel in real life.

I have had such an experience some years ago while I was going home very late from work. (Continue Reading… click here)
