Angels of our Lives

There is an old saying "Make new friends, but keep the old, one is silver and the other's gold."  How true, but there is another type, the angel. 

The angel is a normal person in disguise, you meet them by chance, you don't think anything about it because there is alway room for another friend.  This one is different.  It's like they fall from the sky and land in your life and make an unforgetable difference that defies explanation.  It seems you have found the perfect friend and you form an incredible friendship, the kind that you grow old with, and in some form, some way, you will. But this friend can't stay forever, they leave, they have to.  This type of friend cares deeply about you, yet has to go and usually it has nothing to do with you, but something tells them they have to go even if they are not sure whats ahead.  But they pray and God tells them they will go.

Some people pray everyday, some not so much, but everyone prays and God hears all the prayers and thats where the angels come in.  Alot of people pray for guidance through difficult times, this keeps God pretty busy, but sometimes I think he knows that even though he is present in your life all the time, sometimes you need a mortal human to step in.  These are the angels, they enter your life, not sure why  but a friendship is formed and they unknowingly provide exactly what you needed and life is good until God is sure you can make it on your own. And they are gone, as fast as they showed up.

God put them in your life because you asked for help, but there is always someone else that is asking for help after you. God puts them in your life for as long as he thinks is necessary to help you see the way and then they are off to help another stranger. 

It's sad when they leave, but suddenly you know why they had to go, because without them only God knows where you'd be and THATS why he intervened.  You have to be grateful and tell them to hurry on there way, because somewhere else, someone needs them.

There is an old song about angels among us, and its true, and it's also true about when a bell tolls the angel gets there wings, they have to, how else will they land where God wants them to be.
