Angels Video

HEAVENLY HOST  THE ANGELS WERE PRESENT AT THE CREATION OF THE WORLD.  The word angel means "messenger."  They are sons of God and our Guardians from above.  They sang and danced when they saw what God had made (Job 38: 7).  The reason why nature and angels are always with us here on earth as well as in heaven.  Stars are the windows of heaven, through which the angels peek.  Angels get to earth by sliding down sunbeams and play hide and seek among the flowers.  When a raindrop falls on your nose, you've just been kissed by an angel.  It snows because angels, Cherubim and Seraphim, are having pillow fights.  It thunders because angels are bowling up above the clouds.

There's a Christmas legend from the wintry land in the east where a little princess knelt in the snow and prayed for her father to return from a journey.  Suddenly, a beautiful angel appeared.  "Your father is one of three wise men who have followed a star and found a saviour," the angel said.  No one believed the account of the little princess.  Months later, when her father returned to tell her of Bethlehem, the princess led him to the place where the angel had appeared to her.  There on the ground, with heavy snow all around, one bare patch of earth remained untouched -- in the perfect shape of an angel.  Children today still make snow angels to commemorate the birth of Baby Jesus. 

A long, long time ago in France, folks there have an interesting tradition.  Instead of saying "Hello!" when they met each other, they would say, "Good day to you and your companion!"  Although people couldn't see them, they thought guardian angels deserved to be greeted, too.  Do you have a guardian angel?  I do!

A penny for your thought. A penny saved is a penny earned. Right, without a penny I won't be a millionaire. I'm for saving the penny and Honest Abe.

I need my miracle, so I am sending. I put my life in God's hands & trust him completely. Josie


You always hear the usual stories of pennies on the sidewalk being good luck, gifts from angels, etc. This is the first time I've ever heard this twist on the story. Gives you something to think about.....

Several years ago, a friend of mine and her husband were invited to spend the weekend at the husband's employer's home. My friend, Arlene, was nervous about the weekend. The boss was very wealthy, with a fine home on the waterway, and cars costing more than her house.

The first day and evening went well, and Arlene was delighted to have this rare glimpse into how the very wealthy live. The husband's employer was quite generous as a host, and took them to the finest restaurants. Arlene knew she would never have the opportunity to indulge in this kind of extravagance again, so was enjoying herself immensely.

As the three of them were about to enter an exclusive restaurant that evening, the boss was walking slightly ahead of Arlene and her husband. He stopped suddenly, looking down on the pavement for a long, silent moment.

Arlene wondered if she was supposed to pass him. There was nothing on the ground except a single darkened penny that someone had dropped, and a few cigarette butts. Still silent, the man reached down and picked up the penny.
He held it up and smiled, then put it in his pocket as if he had found a great treasure. How absurd! What need did this man have for a single penny? Why would he even take the time to stop and pick it up?

Throughout dinner, the entire scene nagged at her. Finally, she could stand it no longer. She casually mention ed that her daughter once had a coin collection, and asked if the penny he had found had been of some value. A smile crept across the man's face as he reached into his pocket for the penny and held it out for her to see.. She had seen many pennies before! What was the point of this? 'Look at it,' he said. 'Read what it says.' She read the words ' United States of America .' 'No, not that; read further.'
'One cent?' 'No, keep reading.'
'In God we Trust?' 'Yes!' 'And... ?'

He explained, 'And if I trust in God, the name of God is holy, even on a coin. Whenever I find a coin I see that inscription. It is written on every single United States coin, but we never seem to notice it! God drops a message right in front of me telling me to trust Him. Who am I to pass it by? When I see a coin, I pray, I stop to see if my trust IS in God at that moment. I pick the coin up as my response to God; that I do trust in Him. For a short time, at least, I cherish it as if it were gold. I think it is God's way of starting a conversation with me. Lucky for me, God is patient and pennies are plentiful! '

When I was out shopping today, I found a penny on the sidewalk. I stopped and picked it up, and realized that I had been worrying and fretting in my mind about things I cannot change. I read the words, 'In God We Trust,' and had to laugh. Yes, God, I get the message.

It seems that I have been finding an inordinate number of pennies in the last few months, but then, pennies are plentiful! And, God is patient..

Thought for the Day: If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every spring. He sends you a sunrise every morning Face it.   God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way. Read this line very slowly and let it sink in... If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it. Pass this message to seven people except you and me. You will receive a miracle tomorrow (just do it)!
