Two Angels
Everyone has a guardian angel
But some people have more than one . . It's true
So I feel like I must have done something special
Or REALLY needed them
Because, YES, Jesus gave me two
One I can't see
But I feel him and know he's there
The other one I can see as clear as day
But visible or invisible
I know they both REALLY care
They are both very beautiful
On the inside and the out
They were both sent by God
I know that
Without a shadow of a doubt
One of them has two wings
And on his wings he can fly
One of them only has one wing
But I have the other
And we'll help each other fly until Jesus comes
Or until the day we die
God hand-picked both angels
And gave them gifts to help me through
The hard times in my life
To protect me and carry me when I'm weak
Or to just lift me up when I'm blue
I can't wait to meet the one I can't see
On that day that Jesus arrives
And the three of us will all be together
Praising God in heaven
And we'll look into each others eyes
And we'll laugh and talk and share stories
And reminisce about every time
They were both there when I needed them
And all the struggles
We'll finally get to leave behind
So thanks my two angels
Messengers of God
Thanks for being my blessing
And for being there for me . .
In my two heavenly and earthly angels
I will always believe
"See, I am sending an angel before you to protect you on your journey and lead you safely to the place I have prepared for you." Exodus 23:20

Memory Blessing
My dad passed away 11 years ago . . I miss him alot. He had alot of good wisdom to share with me when I was growing up but I didn't always listen! Alot of that good wisdom probably got blocked out by life.
My dad was a very Godly man and he raised his family with God at the center. He was very much into the health message. We were brought up vegetarian and he did everything he could to make sure we ate good healthful food.
So recently I experienced some weird stomach pains, back pains and joint pains! I couldn't figure out what was causing them or if they were all connected. I tried doing some cleansing but that didn't work. I went to my naturopathic doc and we tried to figure things out but nothing was working.
Then one day I was just sitting there when I got this strong memory of my dad. When my brother and sister and I were little and whenever we had anything wrong with us, and I mean ANYTHING, my dad would always say, "It must have been something you ate!" We would just go "Yeah, yeah, right Dad" and then laugh at it.
But when that memory came to my mind it made me think that maybe it WAS something I was eating causing my pain! So I went back to my naturopathic doctor and took a food allergy test. When I got the results I was stunned! I was allergic to dairy products, like milk, cheese, eggs and and several other foods!
When I eliminated those foods from my diet, all the pains stopped!
My dad was smart. I wish I had payed more attention to him when I was little! But just like bad memories come flooding in sometimes, so also do good memories!! And what an extra special blessing it was for me to remember some good advice from my dad! Even though he's gone he helped me! Thanks Dad!

Safe Blessing
If you don't already know, I drive a school bus. Part of my route takes me up into the mountains towards Snowbowl, the ski area. It's a 2-lane, steep, windy and sometimes treacherous road. Most of the time it's okay though and it's VERY beautiful. I see wildlife every morning like deer, elk, wild turkeys and an occasional bear!So I'm driving the bus the other morning and I stop at one of the bus stops to pick up some kids and the bus proceeded to make a LOUD noise in the engine! It was that ol' squeaky belt noise . . . . I started to break into a cold sweat! I hate breaking down in the bus! It's happened before. It's a little unsettling with a bus load of kids!
When I started driving again the noise stopped. I was relieved! I continued on my route. Then as I was listening for the squeaky belt noise the bus got eerily quiet! All of sudden I lost heat in the heaters, lost the radio and then BLAM! There was a loud noise in the engine and I lost the power steering! I happened to be only going about 10 miles per hour and was able to pull the bus over in a safe spot! I phoned for help and a bus was there in 10 minutes! I was able to transfer the kids over to the other bus and they all got to school safe and on time!
The mechanics came to check out the bus. The alternator brackets had broken off and the belt and alternator went flying off into the engine!! They called for a tow truck and got the bus to the shop to be fixed.
After I got back to the office and all the dust had settled I started thinking. I could've been in a really unsafe spot or going 45 miles an hour down that steep and windy road when the bus broke down! That wouldn't have been good!
I then realized my guardian angels must have been with me on the bus, making sure that I was in a safe spot before those brackets broke and making sure that all that precious cargo I was carrying was safe!!!
I stopped what I was doing and I said a prayer and I thanked the Lord for sending His angels to watch over me and for keeping all His children safe! God's guardian angels were my blessing today and what a blessing just to know that He is watching over us all the time!

Comfort Blessing
What's that old expression . . . "Running around like a chicken with your head cut off!" . . . That's how my day was today. I don't usually let myself get like that but today I did. It was a long, busy day at work and then I had this long list of things to do afterwards . . doctor appointment, pay some bills, go by the bookstore, go to the Good Food store, get gas, etc., etc.. Then I had to come home and try to get my taxes done, get some reading done, order some stuff online, download some pictures, plus try to get a workout in and make dinner! . . . I guess today I thought I was going to be super-woman or something!
Well of course I had to wait FOREVER at the doctor, which made me late to pay my bill at City Hall before it closed. Then I made it to the bookstore 5 minutes late and they were closed!! They didn't have what I needed at the Good Food store! (and I REALLY needed it) I didn't have enough money to fill the gas tank which I like to do since the gas gauge doesn't work! Then I know how many miles I have left before I'm going to run out! . . . Nothing was going my way! I think at that point I was even kind of whimpering and I said to myself, "I could use a BIG HUG about right now!!
I got home and tried to make dinner but didn't have everything I needed. I blew off the workout because I thought the other things were more important. I tried to sit down and get those tasks accomplished and I just couldn't focus. So I decided to lay down on the couch for a minute and rest my weary mind and body.
As I laid there feeling sorry for myself my daughter came up to me and said "Scoot over!" She laid down next to me and just cuddled. I couldn't believe it! First of all, she doesn't do that very often and secondly, she's taller than me now so there's not a whole lot of that cuddling going on like when she was little. It felt soooooo good! It was even better than that BIG HUG that I needed. Needless to say, everything else left on the list didn't get done because I didn't leave that spot for the rest of the evening!
What a comfort that was! It was exactly what I needed. I don't know how she knew that, or if God whispered in her ear that I needed her, but as I laid there I thanked Him for that time with her! It was a double dose of comfort! Getting my "BIG HUG" and getting to cuddle with my little girl who's not so little anymore! God knows what we need and He always takes care of us!
Tomorrow's another day and that little bit of comfort will give me the extra strength to finish all my tasks! It also reminded me to take time out every day to relax!
