Milton, Dante, Blake, the Bible;
Probably some of the most beautiful words written about angels.
But I want to take you somewhere different.
On a journey to delight your senses of vision and hearing, and hopefully,
it will stir something in your heart.
So just sit back and enjoy my personal presentation.

But if these beings guard you, they do so because
they have been summoned by your prayers.
Saint Ambrose

 

 

Unless you can love, as the angels may,
With the breadth of heaven betwixt you;
Unless you can dream that his faith is fast,
Through behoving and unbeloving;
Unless you can die when the dream is past--
Oh, never call it loving!

Robert Browning

 

 

Happy is the heart that believes in angels.

ANGELS HAVE NO BOUNDARIES,
BUT ARE WILLING TO
RESPECT YOURS
AT THE ROUND EARTH'S
IMAGINED CORNERS,
BLOW YOUR TRUMPETS,
ANGELS, AND ARISE, ARISE
(John Donne)
I saw the angel in the marble and
I just chiseled until I set him free.
Michelangelo

 

 
To love for the sake of being loved is human,
but to love for the sake of loving is angelic.
Alphonse De Lamartin

 

Laughter is a melody,
a concert from the heart,
a tickling by the angels,
creative living art.
Serene West

 

If you walk in love, you walk with angels

 
But if these beings guard you, they do so because they have been summoned by your prayers.
Saint Ambrose
I will not wish thee riches,
nor the glow of greatness,
but that wherever thou go
some weary heart shall gladden at thy smile,
or shadowed life know sunshine for a while.
And so thy path shall be a track of light,
like angels' footsteps passing through the night.
(words on a church wall in Upwaltham England)

Every man hath a good and a bad angel attending on him in particular, all his life long.
Robert Burton. 1576-1640.
In pride, in reasoning pride, our error lies;
All quit their sphere, and rush into the skies.
Pride still is aiming at the blest abodes:
Men would be angels, angels would be gods.
Aspiring to be gods, if angels fell,
Aspiring to be angels, men rebel.
Alexander Pope. 1688-1744
 

If instead of a jewel, or even a flower,
we could cast the gift of a lovely thought
into the heart of another,
that would be giving as the angels must give.

Hush, my dear, lie still and slumber!
Holy angels guard thy bed!
Heavenly blessings without number
Gently falling on thy head.
A Cradle Hymn. Isaac Watts. 1674-1748.

An angels gift is a gift of hope. Like snowflakes,
no two angels are alike.

 

A kind soul is inspired by angels.

 

 

 
"For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways" (Psalm 91:11).
Angel Therapy
Years have gone by,
I've carried stress on my shoulders.
What a shell,
I've made over me.
A whispering voice by my side,
said, break that shell,
that is over thee.
Hand your troubles over to me.
Weight of the stress, is lifted off of me,
by Heavenly Angels sent to me.
Oh, what Angel therapy.
I heard the soft voice say,
I will take your troubles and woe's,
turn them inside out,
and hand their light back to thee.
Pure joy and love I feel
radiate from that light,
which is sent by God Himself.
What a heavenly joy to me.

Heaven's Stars

At night when I am restless
I often watch the skies
And fancy that the stars I see
are watchful angel eyes.

I seem to draw such comfort
from their presence in the night
They make me feel less alone
with their twinkling light.

So
when the world becomes too much
cast your eyes up toward the stars
and feel their magic touch...

 
Angels
By Bernice Melton
Angels are sent from heaven above,
They're a symbol of peace, an expression of love.
Guiding arms are there to protect you all the day through,
God sends them with His love to watch over me and you.
So when you wonder what kept you from harm today,
Just remember that there are angels God has sent your way.
Simple moments are extraordinary . . .
simple angels are divine.
  
 
Angels caution us to retain our inner peace in a world that may sometimes appear to have gone crazy. Angels encourage us to create a
happy home to nurture our souls.
The angels know that as the
seeds of fruit reenter the earth,
the cycle of life continues.
An angel, like the cricket, speaks in darkness.
And he dreamed, and behold a ladder was set up on the earth and the top reached to heaven and the angels of God ascending and descending on it
Genesis 28:1
  
  Remember to leave space in your relationships so the angels have room to play.

Reputation is what men and women think of us.
Character is what God and the angels know of us.

Thomas Paine

  
 

Vision is the art of seeing things invisible

Jonathon Swift

Today I stumbled and once again
Was lifted up by an unseen hand
What comfort and joy that knowledge brings.
For I hear the whisper of angel wings.
The guardian angels God sends to all
To bear us up when we stumble and fall.
Trust Him, my friend, and often you'll hear
The whisper of angel wings hovering near.

~Unknown~

  
 
'Tis said we are blessed
With a guardian angel in disquise.
We do not always know them,
For they appear in any form and size.

They do arrive when needed.
In a strange,mysterious way,
Not by chance as some may think,
But on a special day.

So if you are sad with no direction
As to what course to pursue,
Just wait for your protection
From an angel meant just for you.
~Mary M. Wadham~
