In the movie, "Sixth Sense", there's a famous line that says, "I see dead people." Well I see angels. You have too. You just have to train yourself to open your eyes to their presence. Believe it or not there is an angel inside many of the people that are in your life maybe every day or every now and then when you need them. How do I know? I know, because they are unmistakable angels.
Examples I've seen include REALTORs raising money through auctions for homeless kids or kids with estranged parents. REALTORs pitching in to help a fellow co-worker down on their luck with many problems with counseling or financial assistance or even 4 a.m. in the morning trips to drop them off at the airport.
Other areas I've seen angels are unexpected phone calls from friends that know you are in trouble and drop everything to help you out not even thinking twice about it. I've seen caregivers stay at hospital rooms assisting elderly people who are not even related to them showing far more concern for the helpless, vulnerable, and sick selves than the "trained" paid professionals around them that ought to be doing a much better job.
I've even seen here in the blog community tremendous examples of giving, sharing, and having huge open hearts to touch people's lives and leave no stone unturned and letting you know how their life experience can help you out.
So do you know who the angels are in your life? Would you recognize them if you saw them? Can you train yourself a little better to maybe be aware of them? Have you thanked your angel today?
Who are your angels?
Gary: To me you qualify for one. Everything about your writing and thoughts you express point to that. Great post.
Elizabeth: AR is crawling with angels, isn't it??
Natalie: Lots of great stories from everyone's life.
Arina: Thanks, you are an angel to me too!
I agree there are angels all around us and when needs arise, they rise to the occasion.
