The busyness of our daily lives competes for our attention, lessening our likelihood of recognizing the influence of angels. To stay angel-minded is to still the mind and tune inward, listening for divine inspiration. Our true spiritual home is in the One Mind, in God and to entertain angels unawares it is necessary to abide in the Mind.
We were made in God's image. We are spiritual, dwelling in the divine Mind. By remembering this wonderful truth, we can feel the presence of angels, and we can "entertain" them. By being at home to angels, we find ourselves engaged in a heavenly realm.
When an angel message comes our thoughts are lifted to a higher idea of God, of Christ consciousness. We have a clearer vision. If we take time to open the door and invite these loving messages into our mind, we find ourselves becoming more useful and patient with those about us. By keeping alert for entertaining our angel visitors, there is nothing we shall not know when in need. But often our distractions drown out the heavenly rap on the door, and our celestial visitors are shut out of our consciousness. We miss out on the golden opportunities, the Thoughts of God, that come enfolded in angel wings of Love, to give us Life and that more abundantly.
Mary Baker Eddy, founder of Christian Science, defines angels this way: "Angels are not etherealized human beings, evolving animal qualities in their wings; but they are celestial visitants, flying on spiritual, not material pinions."
Today I will try my best to stay more vigilant for entertaining angels by keeping my mind at Home in God. When divine inspiration knocks, I will open the door in gratitude, and welcome these celestial visitors. "Angel-food cake, anyone?"
Love and peace,
Rae Karen
