Wisdom about Angels
My Guardian Angel Dear Angel ever at my side, how lovely you must be--- To leave your home in heaven, to guard a child like me. When I'm far away from home, or maybe hard at play-- I know you will protect me, from harm along the way. Your beautiful and shining face, I see not, though you're near. The sweetness of your lovely voice, I cannot really hear. When I pray, you're praying too, Your prayer is just for me. But ,when I sleep you never do, You're watching over me.
psalm 91:11-12

Angels Always There Whenever I’m in fervent prayer I feel God’s holy angels there; Protective, loving, and serene; Who stay nereby, tho yet unseen. Thus, when I feel my heart might break, I try to smile for Jesus’ sake; Whose angels let my faith not dim That I might see the smile of Him!

Wisdom about Angels
Guardian Angels God gave us each an angel To watch over us with love. They’re always carrying messages To Him in Heaven above.
They warn us during danger, Encourage us to do what is right, And will always guard and guide us, Throughout the day and night.
God sent them to protect us, When crisis comes our way, And to aid us with our problems That we encounter every day.
Thank You, my God in Heaven, For our Guardian Angels dear. They’re just a token of Your love To help us overcome life’s fears.
Shirley Hile Powell

Sometimes we see clearly how they work, but most of the time, we don’t understand the obvious ways that we are supported. We forget that the angels are always there, always available, always willing, and always working for us.

Stone walls do not a prison make, Nor iron bars a cage; Minds innocent of quiet take That for an hermitage; If I have freedom in my love And in my soul am free, Angels alone that sore above Enjoy such liberty.
Richard Lovelace

Taking the time to reflect each day on angelic love gives life a heavenly glow. We become keenly aware of our own guardian angels and the other angels who help us through the year. We discover that there is an abundance of blessings to be grateful for.

Silently one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots, of angels.

The desire of power in excess caused angels to fall; the desire of knowledge in excess caused a man to fall; but in charity is no excess, neither can man or angels come into danger by it.

Angel Wisdom about strangers
Be not afraid to entertain strangers, for thereby many have entertained angels unawares.

The soul, being like an angel, is much better off when it is not associated with or imprisoned in a body. That is a much more appropriate state of being for it to enjoy.
