I've been intrigued with angels, and have often wondered how I would respond if I actually saw one.
All though the night the snow must have fallen softly, because this morning there was a luscious layer covering the gray, muted landscape. For some reason, the gentle beauty made me think of hoarfrost on a day when the sky is a bright, clear blue. Surely an angels wings would sparkle like hoar frosty diamonds!
No, I have never actually seen an angel in all its glory, but I have a precious memory of when one came to my aid. Our oldest daughter was just a wee tot when this happened. The stairs leading down to the basement of the house we were living in at the time were rotting, so needed to be replaced. They were removed in the evening and the brand new ones would be installed first thing in the morning. That gaping hole made me uneasy.
During the night I woke up to the pitter patter of little feet. Audrey was coming to our room! I instantly got up to go to her, but she had walked past our bedroom and over to the basement doorway. I hurried over and brought her to safety. It wasn't until later that I realized I couldn't have possibly gotten to her on time, and she had stepped into mid air and was being held by an angel until I could reach her. Oh, Audrey, I wish you could remember this, and tell me what it was like to be held in an angel's arms!
Now its your turn
I accidentally deleted all comments, but snuck Chloe's back in here. So sorry, folks!
