Angels (anges) and children have a special place in my heart. Each one is unique even when they are sisters or twins. Angels have been touching hearts for centuries, inspiring poets and writers to find words to explain their magic...
In "The Angels' Little Instruction Book" by Eileen Elias Freeman,
she writes...
"When babies look beyond you and giggle, maybe they're seeing angels."
and suggests
"Insight is better than eyesight when it comes to seeing an angel."
Terry Southern says "An angel has no memory."
Unknown authors have left their mark..
"Angels are never too distant to hear you."
"While we are sleeping, angels have conversations with our souls."
Artists have been inspired .....
"I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free." Michelangelo
And my favorite....
"Friends are kisses blown to us by angels."
To light our way.
A wonderful wood piece carved from the trunk of a tree with carved angels on all 4 sides.
The dealer explained it was a mold for papier-mache.
An angel wing rests on top.
Twin 17th century wood angels..
lost their gilding, but not their soul.
I love their innocence.
I do have a crush on these little guys...and even have one on my business cards.
How do angels affect you?

ReplyDeleteThank you Debby Lee, My angels fly off to clients quickly.. so they only stay with me a short time. I do enjoy the memories.
