Your Angel

This morning an angel kissed your eyes as you opened them to start your day.
An angel helped you find your keys as you hurried on your way.
An angel rode with you as you drove to your job once again
 and whispered to that person to slow down and  let your car merge in.
This afternoon an angel stepped between you and the person that was unkind.
The angel kissed the face of those that stayed lovingly on your mind.
The angel befriended the flower so it would  bloom as you walked by and ask the bird to sing a song for you, a melody from on high.
The angels are always with you, and love you more than you can comprehend.
They surrond you with His love
from your very beginning
until your time on earth will end.

Tranquility


Solitude, tranquility, the sweetness of joy and truth
are all good for the soul.

I think angels smell like cookies.
I think they make a tinkling noise like delicate wind chimes when they move.
I think they hug you like a warm coat on a cold day.
I think they wipe your tears with their wings.
If the twinkle of a star had a sound I think that is how their laughter would be.
I think they have a touch that feels like the warmth and softness under a birds wing.
I think they have a smile that is soft like the glow from a candle.
I think they have grace like a dandelion seed on the wind.
I think they are as gentle as a feather soft against my skin.
I think Angels love us more than we can comprehend.

Perfection

I read a simple phrase this morning that struck a chord with me.
"Do everything with perfection"
Right away someone might think "I have enough stress without trying to be perfect at everything"
But that's not what this is saying. Its not saying be fantastic or you yourself should be perfect,we know perfection is impossible.
Its going back to the same message of staying focused on what you are doing.Whatever you are doing do that one thing completely.
If you are doing laundry, do the laundry with perfection.
Enjoy the smell of the laundry soap, watch the warm water as it flows into the washer. Feel the fabrics as you move the clothes from the washer to the dryer. Take in the warmth when you remove the clothes from the dryer, smell the freshness. Think loving thoughts of the person whos clothes you are folding. If you are folding your own clothes think loving thoughts of yourself.
If you are having lunch with a friend, be there completely in spirit, not thinking what the rest of the day holds, or how you were offended by someone that morning.
Take in every element of what you are doing. Enjoy every moment ,giving it your complete attention and your perfect stillness and love.
There is always much to be done but it can be done in more perfection if it is done with less hurry. Basically, enjoy everything you do. Savour every action like a connoisseur.
Allow Gods peace and stillness to surround you. Be quiet, be confident, and be strong.In this stillness and peace you will find all that you are looking for.
