Searching for some unknown strength to help when tears may fall, I, your guardian angel, have been there for you through it all. Times of heartache and trouble may often come your way, Through each of these trials, by your side I'll always stay.

Walking with an Angel Poem


I do it every day Your guardian angel is with you, come what may. Assigned by God, and sent to watch over you He's with you each day, no matter what you do. You don't believe, you don't think this is so He guards each step you take, he wants you to know. Ever been close to death, just one step away, Catch yourself saying, boy was I ever lucky today. Luck didn't do it, whether you realize it or not Protected in his arm's, the Lord has not forgot You don't believe, you don't think this is so He guards each step you take, he wants you to know. More times than you know, death does knock But your angel will protect, if you're planted firmly on the rock. The next time you come close, take a good look around, He may be right next to you, or no where to be found. You don't believe, you don't think this is so, He guards each step you take, he wants you to know You may or may not see him, but he's always there Remember that the next time you miss death by a hair. Do you need an angel, do you know where to look All the promises are given, just read it in God's book. You don't believe, you don't think this is so He guards each step you take, he wants you to know The minute you are saved, you're assigned an angel of your own. He will see you through, till God calls you home. On that day he will step forward and take your hand, He will lead you through the gate, home to the promise land. You don't believe, you don't think this is so. He guards each step you take, he loves you, and wants you to know.

Easter Pine Tree Crosses Story



Last Spring on a Sunday afternoon we took one of our "nowhere" drives thru the country. My husband was quietly driving along some back roads. I was occupied in the front passenger seat watching out the window as the scenery went by.
I noticed out of the corner of my eye that my husband was straining to look out my window. This startled me, since his eyes should be on the road in front of him. I asked him what he was looking at out the windows, and he quietly replied, "Nothing. " He could have said he was looking for pine tree crosses for Easter. His eyes went back to the road in front of him.
After a few minutes, I looked over at my husband and noticed a tear running down his cheek. I asked him what was wrong. This time he told me, "I was just thinking about Pop and a story he had once told me." Of course, because it had to do with his Pop I wanted to know the story, so I asked him to share Pop's story with me.
He said, "When I was about 8 years old, Pop and I were out fishing and that's when he told me that the pine trees know when it is Easter."
I had no idea what he meant by that, so I pressed him for more information.
He continued on... "The Pine trees start their new growth in the weeks before Easter -- if you look at the tops of the Pine trees two weeks before Easter, you will see the yellow shoots. As the days get closer to Easter Sunday, the tallest shoot will branch off and form pine tree crosses for Easter. By the time Easter Sunday comes around, you will see that most of the Pine trees will have small yellow crosses on all of the tallest pine shoots."
I turned to look out the window and I couldn't believe my eyes. It was a week before Easter, and you could see all of the pine trees with the tall yellow shoots stretching to Heaven.
The tallest ones shone in the sunlight like rows of tiny golden crosses.


Pennies From Heaven


I found a penny today, just laying on the ground. But it is not just a penny, this little coin I found. Found pennies come from heaven, thats what my Grandpa told me. He said Angels toss then down, oh how I loved that story .He said when an Angel misses you, they toss a penny down. Sometimes just to cheer you up, make a smile out of your frown. So don't pass by that penny when you're feeling blue. It may be a penny from heaven, that an Angel's tossed to you.

The Interview




I dreamed I had an interview with God.
"Come in," God said. "So, you would like to interview Me?"
"If you have the time," I said.
God smiled and said, "My time is eternity and is enough to do everything; what questions do you have in mind to ask me?"
"What surprises you most about mankind?"
God answered, "That they get bored of being children, are in a rush to grow up, and then long to be children again. That they lose their health to make money and then lose their money to restore their health.
That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live neither for the present nor the future. That they live as if they will never die, and they die as if they had never lived.
God's hands took mine and we were silent for while and then I asked, "As a parent, what are some of life's lessons you want you children to learn?"
God replied with a smile, "To learn that they cannot make anyone love them. What they can do is to let themselves be loved. To learn that what is most valuable is not what they have in their lives but who they have in their lives.
To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others. All will be judged individually on their own merits not as a group on a comparison basis!
To learn that a rich person is not the one who has the most but is one who needs the least.
To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in persons we love, and that it takes many years to heal them.
To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness. To learn that there are persons that love them dearly, but simply do not know how to express or show their feelings.
To learn that money can buy everything but happiness.
To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it totally different.
To learn that a true friend is someone who knows everything about them, and likes them anyway.
To learn that it is not always enough that they be forgiven by others, but that they have to forgive themselves."
I sat there for a while enjoying the moment and thanked Him for His time and for all that He has done for me and my family, and
He replied, "Anytime. I'm here 24 hours a day. All you have to do is ask for me, and I'll answer.
People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did; but people will never forget how you made them feel."
