Angels Are All Around Us

I believe we all have a guardian angel or two. Just a personal belief. It has gotten me through some difficult times believing this.
The good part is we can all choose to believe what we want. For now anyway. I hope that right is never taken away.
I don't decorate for Christmas any more. But I have lots of ornaments that were given to me over the years.
This angel is one special gift. I keep some of the ornaments out for decoration year round.
There are many places I can hang an angel or an Eeyore and it brings a smile each time I see them. Those little things enjoyed in my life.
Photo is mine.

I have an old indoor fig tree. All my kids handmade ornaments hang from it all year around. I don't do the extravagant Christmas thing anymore. I put up a small tree this year for the first time in a decade.
Just like you, just seeing those special ornaments brings a smile.
My guardian angels live inside me. They bring balance to my life.

At the risk of sounding silly or too soft, it brings me pleasure to handle the ornaments when I dust them off.
I'll hold them and delicately clean them. As I do, I'm reminded of the days long ago when their little hands made them.
I'm tearing up as I write this...
A time it was and what a time it was, it was.
A time of innocence, a time of confidences.
Long ago it must be, I have a photograph.
Preserve your memories, they're all that's left you.

@Vikingswest1 I say do what makes oyu feel good. That is exactly why I plan to take more of mine out and put them here and there to enjoy. Life is too short to leave them in boxes. I have some made by my son in school. Treasures. Now you have me in tears. But in a good way. Thank you for these words.

I hope your guardian angel always looks after you and guides you through difficult times. The ornament is a nice reminder that your angel is there watching over you.

@CarolDM Sometimes I wish I had two guardian angels looking out for me.

And I know that we all have a guardian angel or two. I saw an angel once, as a child. Christmas is a holiday that mankind has fashioned and gripped onto, to make money. That's why I try to be thoughtful throughout the year, instead of displaying love, over the holiday season. Your angel is lovely!

@CarolDM What a shame, my lovely ornaments are stored in boxes, most of the year!

We are always under the watchful eye of the Lord and his angels. I believe God has helped me and given me the strength through some precarious situations over the years

@CarolDM So sorry about your son. I'm sure his presence is with you. Sadly, bad things happen to us here on earth. God does not cause them although it is true, he allows them to occur. It is one of the great mysteries as to why God does not intervene. I guess in a sinful world one should expect difficulties and harm to happen, but it seems unfair when this happens to good people. It does bring up many questions beyond our scope to understand.

@dgobucks226 Thats so much for your kind words. The fact that it was allowed to happen to a child is what I can't get over. I will never understand that one. A parent should never outlive their child. Thanks again for your support.

I do believe in guardian angels.However I dont think they exist in physical objects.
I believe guardian angels are sometimes unseen but they watch over us.
I also believe that they can manifest themselves in other people that we may interact with in our lives.
For example at a time when someone is so hungry and on the verge of dying a guardian angel could appear in the form of a stranger and give that person food or money to buy food.
Another example is someone suffering from depression and about to give up on life and then they read your article and it changed their mind.Their guardian angel might just have inspired you to write this article to restore hope and save someone's life.

A church I went to many years ago taught that once we got saved we didn't have a guardian angel anymore. But another church that I go to now passed out angel broaches one year so whomever wanted could wear them anytime.
When my mom passed away someone gave an angel with a flower and that angel is now in my mantle.
Yours is very pretty.

I sure understand the joy of seeing them. I had a couple precious to me also but haven't seen them in a long time. They are either in the garage still packed up or have gotten lost in one of my many moves these past 7 yrs.

I too feel there is an angel assigned to each one of us. There are so many things that can go wrong and they don't. Thanks to these angels. The only time things go wrong is when angels go to restroom or get sick. That is a beautiful angel you have there. I understand why it makes you smile. :)
