The moments of our lives may be bright with possibility, dark with fear or sadness, or even plain everyday gray, but God's glory never fades. May God's glory shine into the exciting lights, upsetting darks, and boring grays of your every day.
Slightly adapted from one of my morning devotionals
Life is a special occasion!
Today is Be An Angel Day which was established by Jayne Howard Feldman in 1993. Its purpose is to encourage people to perform random acts of kindness to those in need.
Use today to put other before yourself, and to reach out to those who need some extra support. Even a small act of kindness can go a long way.
Fill a random parking meter, mow your neighbors lawn, or send a card in the mail. Every act of generosity can make a difference Take the time to be an angel for a day!
Celebrate today and do a favor for a friend, Extend a helping hand , offer a kind word or show someone your gratitude!
To see the bright side, polish the dull side
You don’t have to be an angel, just be someone who can give.
Patti LaBelle
Kindness is something that doesn’t cost a thing, All it takes is the willingness to make someone smile. There are hundreds of ways to do that. Just a small compliment can do that. I would like to thank all of you that read this post, you are friends and family that really are appreciated.
I think there are angels all around us every day. They can be human or celestial beings. God gave each one of us a guardian angel that watches over us all the time. I think mine has been working overtime.
They send cooling breezes my way every day in this Texas heat and so far I’m surviving summer and enjoying it too. We have sunny skies and blue sky most every day which I happen to love after living so many cloudy days in Ohio.
I hope you all have a GREAT day! Happy Thursday!
I’ve had an angel on my shoulder all my life.
Barbara Hale

Almighty and eternal God,
Protect our military
as they discharge their duties
with the shield of your strength,
may the power of your love
enable them to return home in safety
that with all who love them
they may ever praise you for your loving care.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters and EMT’s.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
A man does not have to be an angel in order to be a saint.

The pictures today are of my little angel collection which were all gifts to me. I was able to move them to Texas with me. They bring back some precious memories.
I like your collection. I have two myself. You are probably an angel too!
Those Willow Tree angels are so dear! For several years I was gifted several, but only a few favorites remain. Indeed, they hold some wonderful memories.
