Topic - Angels

A week or two ago, I was having a rough time. We all have times like this. Our blogs are ways for us to unload those stresses, hurts, aggravations, fears, sadness, etc. So that's what I did.

When I have a time like this, I know I can always count on a fellow D-blogger to write me a note, say something encouraging on my blog, or sometimes someone will send me an unexpected sussy.

My friend Cara At Every Day, Hour, Every Minute sent me such a sweet sussy a few days ago. It was exactly what I needed & I didn't even realize it until I opened the package. It was an Angel Stone - the Angel of Courage. Here's what it looks like. (I had a difficult time getting a photo that did it justice. But believe me, it's beautiful!)

The stone is so smooth & comforting. Just what I needed. Anyone who has ever dealt with anxiety issues knows that courage is hard to come by sometimes. So now when I feel that anxiety coming on, I've got this lovely Angel Stone to remind me that God is with me & I CAN BE courageous - even if it's just a small thing - like getting up the nerve to walk into Walmart on a busy afternoon.

Thank you all for the encouraging words you send my way. They are priceless treasures to me. And to Cara - thank you for knowing just what to send me at a time when I really needed it. You are an angel.

I count you all as blessings. Thank you so much for being there. As the music group, Alabama, says, "I believe there are angels among us." And that's how I consider you all.

Cara & I like to use music in comparison to things happening in life. I think that's why I like country music so much. Much of it is so true to life. So I'm going to share another music video with you today. It gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. I hope you can think of someone who has been an angel to you as you listen to the song. I can think of many in my life and that is truly a blessing.
