Almost 9 months exactly after my Mom died, my
youngest child was born. I felt truly blessed by
God having this new baby come after such a
difficult year. I did feel regret, though, that my
new son would never get to know my wonderful Mom.
As my baby got older, however, I started to notice
something. When I would be playing with my son he
would often look past me, over my shoulder and
smile. At other times it seemed like he was
laughing and playing with someone I couldn’t see
or hear. This mystery suddenly became clear one
day when I showed him his Grandma’s picture and he
giggled like he had known her all of his short
life. It was then that it occurred to me that
while my son may not have gotten to know my Mom in
person, he had certainly gotten to know her
angelic spirit watching over him.
I was remembering all of this the other day while
taking a stroll. It made my own spirit feel warm
with God’s love and joy. While I was walking along
too I saw a little girl who I knew was always shy
around strangers. I was amazed then when she
looked at me, lit up in a big smile, and waved.
That’s when I realized that children can not only
sometimes see the invisible angels around us, but
can often see the angel living within each of us
as well.
I think that Earth would be a lot more like Heaven
if we all looked at each other and saw the angels
within. What a paradise this world would be if all
of us recognized each other as brothers, sisters,
and Children of the same God. What a holy place
this planet would become if we all realized that
each of us is a special soul sent here on a
mission of learning and love.
Always remember then that angels are all around us
and that an angelic spirit lives within each of
us. It is up to us to see the angels in each other
and to allow our own angel within to share its
love, joy, peace, happiness, goodness, and light
with the world.
