A long time ago I use to think of angels as angels... You know kinda like what this picture is that I have posted here... Or the really cool Seraphim Angels that they sale at Angelhaven.com with the pretty wings... I collect angels aslo and thought of them as pretty... I knew they were there, but they weren't real since I couldn't see them... But then again, I can't see God and I know He is there... I am sure everyone has seen the pictures that Hollywood or artists portray angels as. I knew they were a creation of God's. But never really thought of them outside of that or how they are described by many when they encounter an angel... Now, I think of them differently though... I have thought of them differently for a long time now actually... I think angels are all around us and they come to us in our dreams or are there to watch over us as we lay there sleeping... I also feel there are humans that are placed in our lives and are our Earthangels... I have been thinking of the song Angels Among Us by Alabama... So I am going to share that on here... I love the show Touched By An Angel and my favorite character was Andrew... I have included a tribute to him who is in the arms of the angels...
For me when I think of Andrew from Touched By an Angel, it reminds me that God's angels are here with us and that we are never alone in our times of need. We may not see them, but we know they are here... Andrew made you feel like death isn't a bad thing and that
God loves us...
In the Arms of the Angels- Tribute to John Dye
Angels Among Us by Alabama
Angels Among Us
I was walking home from school on a cold winter's day
Took a shortcut through the woods and I lost my way
It was getting late and I was scared and alone
Then a kind old man took my hand and led me home
Mama couldn't see him, but he was standing there
But I knew in my heart, he was the answer to my prayers
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 a light of love
When life dealt troubled times and had me down on my knees
There's always been someone there to come along and comfort me
A kind word from a stranger to lend a helping hand
A phone call from a friend just to say I understand
Ain't it kind of funny at the dark end of the road
Someone lights the way with just a single ray of hope
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 a light of love
They wear so many faces
Show up in the strangest places
Grace us with thier 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 a light of love

Hello my old friend. First I have to apologize and say that I have always been too "busy" to actually read your blogs or anyones for that matter. I too collect angels and have for years. And the same as you, put little thought to them besides their beauty. The first time I thought about "earthly angels" was the first time I got up the courage to enter a chatroom. I had heard so many horror stories about stalkers, bullies and the such that I was petrified. Well, I started with having to come up with an "alias" as I called it. It was suppose to be a christian chatroom so I wanted to make sure others knew my purpose in being their. I chose "ALL4U"... Stating that without Jesus, we have nothin, and He did it ALL4U... The first time I logged in it was very late at night and their was only 1 other person in the chatroom. Her name was "Angel63". I knew that night that there were Earthly Angels because of her warm welcome and unconditional love she showed me without even knowing me. "Now you know the rest of the story." Thank you my friend <3
Angelhaven was my first chatroom too... It was my first time on the internet... I had to unreal experiences at the same time, lol.. When I first went to haven, I was thinking the same thing about chatrooms... But then I met you, Nancybratt, Jessica, Mardel, Barbara, Angel4, Cymbeline, Shad, Titan, earthangel, Raphael and who can forget Norm :) and so many others... It was nice back then... There was so crazy people out there, but it was fun and it's nice that many I still talk to and call friend...
My favorite Alabama song of all and a great guy that John Dye is/was. thank you for posting my dear. And yes you know who this is.
I do know who my anonymous person is... I knew you had good taste :)
