angels among us

Oct 6, 2011

I believe…in fact, I know there are angels among us. Some of them are earthly, some of them are heavenly. Some are with us for a short time, some bless us for an extended time. Right now, we have one (who knows? we probably have loads of them and just don’t know it) of the extended versions. Some precious soul out there loves us very much. Every once in a while, an envelope comes in the mail with a gift card to our local grocery store. Somehow these envelopes come right at the perfect time. Right when I have no idea how I am going to by milk, much less a cartload of groceries. Right when I am at my wit’s end trying to make my small budget make ends meet.

It’s simply amazing. The kindness overwhelms me. I have no idea who this angel is or why they are doing it. All I know is I want to hold them in my arms and tell them thank you, thank you, thank you. If by chance they read this blog, or if one of you lovely readers know who this is and could pass on our heartfelt gratitude, we would so appreciate it. Our family prays for this angel often. We pray for him or her to have financial blessings heaped upon them ten-fold and to be protected and watched over by our Heavenly Father. We also pray that we will one day be in a position that we can bless other’s lives as you have SO abundantly blessed ours.

Yes, I believe there are angels among us.

Oh I believe there are angels among us.
Sent down to us from somewhere up above.
They come to you and me in our darkest hours.
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give.
To guide us with the light of love.

They wear so many faces; show up in the strangest places.
To grace us with their mercy, in our time of need.

Oh I believe there are angels among us.
Sent down to us from somewhere up above.
They come to you and me in our darkest hours.
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give.
To guide us with the light of love.

To guide us with the light of love.

Thank you for being our angel. Words can never express how much your kindness has filled our hearts with hope, our bellies with food, and our souls with faith.
