I am pretty sure that I saw an Angel the other day. The
halo wasn't there, but I am sure that it was hidden under the hat he
had on. I couldn't see the wings either, but I am positive that they
were covered up by the heavy coat he was wearing. I know the cane he
walked with was just a part of the disguise as well. You can't expect
an angel to just fly down the street in full glory without drawing some
attention.

Still, in spite of his ordinary clothes I am convinced that I saw an
angel. The way he stooped down to pick up a package an elderly lady
dropped was my first clue. The way he bent down to scratch a stray dog's
head was further evidence of the fact. The clincher, though, was the
way he beamed with a joyous smile as he gave something to a man collecting
for charity and then wished him all the best with a voice that seemed
to laugh and sing at the same time.

I wish this dear angel continued success in his chosen
work of spreading love, joy, and light to the world. I know in my heart
that the power of love and the goodness of God will be shared with everyone
he meets. I know in my soul that there will be much singing, dancing,
and rejoicing in Heaven with this blessed angel finally rejoins their
midst. I know that my own heart and soul have grown stronger, better,
and more loving for having seen him.

Angels do live among us. They
surround us, guide us, protect us, and give us their beautiful example
day after day. Some of them we can't see, but some of them walk right
by us leaning on their canes and covered in their tattered old coats and
hats. May all of us recognize them for who they are. May all of us follow
their example. May all of us choose and share love and joy like these
angels do. |
