Angels, Angels Everywhere

 

Angels come to our rescue more times than we can imagine.

They care about what happens to us and protect us from harm.

 We can call upon angels whenever we need some help.

Whenever I'm afraid and call upon the real angels, they always replace fear with a feeling of security.

The two angel figures below create rainbows all over the kitchen when the sun shines through them. 

Looking around the kitchen, there are lots of angel figurines.

Most are on the windowsills above the sink.

I couldn't believe how many angel figures had been accumulated and some are shown in today's post.

The one below is a Jim Shore angel. She had a spoon in her hand but it broke when I inadvertently knocked against the angel. Such is life.

 CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT A TIME WHEN YOU WERE HELPED BY AN ANGEL?

Imperfect Angel

It would be easy for me to write a book titled "Confessions of a Pack Rat."

It's so doggone hard for me to eliminate things, even broken objects,  around the house.

Even though there are dozens of angels around here, when one fell and his head broke off, I couldn't throw him away.

He actually hovered in my hand above the trash can for a moment. 

Then the rationalizations began.

"Well, Susan, you can glue him back together in a jiffy."

"Awwww, he's so cute. Fix him."

"His angel cousins, sisters, brothers, and the rest of the legion will miss him if you put him in the trash."

So for months his head and separated body sat on a shelf in my home office. (That's pathetic, right? Maybe I need therapy. ha ha)

Finally, with Valentine's Day coming, I glued him back together and sat him on a shelf held up by, what else?  More angels.

 He seems to be in a perpetual state of  throwing a kiss. 

He's the cutest little angel ever and I'm glad he didn't get tossed out.

Unless you look really hard, you cannot tell he once lost his head but found it again!

DO YOU FIX BROKEN OBJECTS AROUND YOUR HOME OR TOSS THEM?
