Stiller than the fields, as the full Dew, Beautiful as pictures no man drew. People like the Moth of Mechlin frames. Duties of Gossamer, and Eider- names almost - Contented I could be 'mong such unique society." ~Emily Dickenson~ ~Make yourself familiar with the angels, And behold them frequently in spirit; For, without being seen, They are present within you.~ St. Francis de Sales ~Angels guide us to become spiritual people for the pleasure of it, not for its moralism, because the spiritual life itself has a great deal of beauty and real satisfaction, even pleasure. And this is what the soul needs~ Thomas Moore "For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had." ~ John 5:4 ~ "Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in Heaven their angels do always behold the face of My Father which is in Heaven." ~ Matthew 18:10 ~ "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." ~ Hebrews 13:2 ~ "When we cried unto the LORD, He heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth." ~ Numbers 20:16 ~ "They are celestial visitants, flying on spiritual, not material pinions. Angels are pure thoughts of God winged with truth and Love, no matter what their individualism may be." ~Mary Baker Eddy~
