^^A >>A young university student
>>was home for  the summer.
>>
>>She had gone to visit some
>>friends
>>one evening and  time passed quickly
>>as each shared their various
>>experiences of the  past year.
>>
>>She ended up staying longer than
>>planned, and had to  walk home alone.
>>
>>She wasn't afraid because it was a
>>small town and  she lived only
>>a few blocks away.
>>
>>As she walked along under  the
>>tall elm trees, Diane asked
>>"God" to keep her safe
>>from
>>harm  and danger.
>>
>>When she reached the alley,
>>which was a shortcut to  her house,
>>she decided to take it.
>>
>>However, halfway down the  alley
>>she noticed a man standing at
>>the end as though he were waiting  for her.
>>
>>She became uneasy and began
>>to pray, asking for "God's"  protection.
>>Instantly a comforting feeling
>>of quietness and security  wrapped
>>around
>>her, she felt as though someone
>>was walking with  her.
>>
>>When she reached the end of
>>the alley, she walked right  past
>>the man and arrived home safely.
>>
>>The following day, she read  in
>>the newspaper that a young girl
>>had been raped in the same  alley
>>just twenty minutes after she
>>had been there.
>>
>>Feeling  overwhelmed by this
>>tragedy and the fact that it
>>could have been her,  she
>>began to weep.
>>
>>Thanking
>>the Lord for her safety
>>and to help  this young woman,
>>she decided to go to the police station.
>>
>>She  felt she could recognize
>>the man, so she told them her story.
>>
>>The  police asked her if she would
>>be willing to look at a lineup to
>>see if  she could identify him.
>>
>>She agreed and immediately
>>pointed out the  man she had
>>seen in the alley the night before.
>>
>>When the man was  told he
>>had been identified, he immediately
>>broke down and  confessed.
>>
>>The officer thanked Diane for
>>her bravery and asked if  there was
>>anything they could do for her.
>>She asked if they would  ask
>>the man one question?
>>
>>Diane was curious as to why
>>he had  not attacked her.
>>When the policeman
>>asked him, he 
>>answered,
>>Because she wasn't alone.
>>She had two tall men
>>walking  on  either side of  her."

They bring to us many gifts, God's love and comfort, messages of hope and good cheer, messages full of love. They are a wonderful bridge of light between the world of the spiritual and our own physical world.

They are with us,

watching over us, protecting us, shielding us, guiding us, counseling us, loving us.

Sometimes we say, "But where was my Guardian Angel

when this or that happened?" Your angel is always with you; You have only to ask. You see, they cannot interfere with our own free will. So if our path leads us astray or places us in a precarious position, that is our doing and not theirs. And to gain their assistance, we must call on them.

They are here to communicate with us.

And will as our consciousness changes and we become more receptive to the idea. Soon, as we grow more in love and understanding they will become more guide and companion rather than guardian. So think often of your angel. And thank them, too, for they appreciate a little thanks just as we do.

There are many beings of light that dwell in the angelic realm,

from the mightiest archangels to the smallest seraphim. All waiting to respond when we ask. Which one answers our call depends on our needs.

Angels can channel creative energy to us.

We have only to open to them, reach out, ask, and then be willing to hear.

These wonderful beings of light can help to dispel our feelings

of loneliness. Their presence with us can bring us joy and delight, the wondrous tones of their music, many glorious colors, and the radiance of light.                                                                     

The Angels

May Angels rest beside your door.
May you hear Their voices sing.
May you feel Their loving care for you.
May you hear Their peace bells ring.

May Angels always care for you
and not let you trip and fall.
May They bear you up on Angel's wings.
May They keep you standing tall.

May They whisper wisdom in your ear.
May They touch you when you need.
May They remove from you each trace of fear.
May They keep you from feeling greed.

May They fill you with their presence.
May They always stand besides you
and make you ever bold.
May They teach you what you need to know
about life here and hereafter.
May They fill you always with their love
and give you the gift of laughter.

Oneandonly---are you truly a religious man? and if you are please define that for us.
