Happy Earth Day: An Angel Message

Prayer is often the last resort, and in hindsight, we wonder why?  Why not take it from the top, to the Most High, rather than try to fix a problem at the lowest level. Meeting it in the spiritual realm holds the answer. Then healing will be reflected in the physical.  

Nature is always teaching by example.  Several years ago, the water level at our favorite lake was at an all-time low, way below the 7-foot marker. 

 

So low, a private dock looked like a wooden scaffold extended high above a dry pond of  tall reeds.   A grassy barrier was creeping in, creating two small bodies of water.  The lake, home to the sandhill cranes, ducks, herons, turtles, and fish, was shrinking.

Praying and recognizing the angel of the lake brought amazing results.  And it didn't happen overnight, it took many people working together to clean up the waters, dredging, and uprooting encroaching vegetation.  But something amazing happened, nature came and replenished the waters naturally without a single hurricane.  

The 7-foot marker is now deeply submerged. The lake overflowing and expansive.  So much so, this tree, that once stood on dry land, now has roots anchored in the deep. 

During the winter, I wondered if it could survive, and prayed for resurrection, not really sure there was much hope. With water up to its waist, I didn't expect much, but was hopeful.  

I wasn't disappointed. 

To my delight, the water-logged tree is budding in springtime.  A testimony to new life, she wears a coat of bright leafy green.  She stood tall in glory on Easter morning at a sunrise service at the lake.  A sandhill family, ducks, and bubbling fish joined in the celebration of Life. And, the sun broke through the clouds, as a soloist sang praises. 

Hallelujah!

 

 "And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; nor whatsoever he doesth shall prosper."  Psalm 1

So if you're feeling overwhelmed, and thinking the odds are against you, remember the testimony of this amazing tree.  Nothing is impossible with God.  Look up in faith, pray, and live one day at a time.  Victory is assured in Christ.  All is well.

Happy Earth Day! 

Love and peace,

Stand Still: An Angel Message

 

Yesterday morning, two playful bunnies ran around in circles on the lawn,--chasing one another at rapid speed!  What joy to watch their white cotton tails flying in the wind.  They kept running in circles for quite awhile.  A bushy tailed gray squirrel darted in and out between the two racing rabbits, adding to the frenetic pace. 

 Finally this bunny stopped.  Facing the sun room, he stood on his haunches as if striking a deliberate pose to Stand still.

Wanting to capture his unusual stillness, I had my doubts if he would still be there when I returned with the camera.  But there he was steadfast, standing tall in the green grass, and many photos were taken through the blinds.  

I revisited the rabbit symbolism in a nature book: If Rabbit has shown up and we're unsure what to do--freeze.  Do nothing.  It won't take more than 28 days until we know exactly what to do or where to go.  Rabbits never do anything in a step-by-step way, and even if they have to backtrack and cover old territory, their long, fast hops and jumps swiftly make up for lost ground. 

Our rabbit scenario mirrored this reference. Stand still!

Don't keep running around in circles, expending lots of energy, covering the same old ground.  Stand still, and wait on the Lord.

Later in the day, a passage on that topic popped up in a spiritual book.  "Do not be afraid.  Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today."  (Exodus 14:13)

I give thanks for the lessons that the angels teach through nature.  They so perfectly illustrate the inner struggles to be overcome in daily life.  Gifts to help us grow in Spirit with the unseen love and guidance from the heavenly realm. 

What messages are the angels speaking in your life today?  Stand still and listen.  All is well.

Love and peace,


Rae Karen

Too Good To Be True: An Angel Message

 Jesus tells us rather than worry, to stop and look up at the birds of the air.  They neither sow nor reap and yet our heavenly Father takes care of them.  Aren't you more valuable than the birds?  

Last month,  I woke up one morning in the grip of something heavy and dark; pressured on all sides.  Thank goodness, I realized how oppositional energy tempts me to start the day off on the wrong foot.  When this happens, immediately I know it's time to turn up the light.  Not believe any fearful thoughts that roll by in clouds of doom and gloom. When I open my eyes, I always begin the day with gratitude for God and the angels. Although my spirit knows the truth, my emotional body at times takes longer to align with inner peace.

So that morning, I got out of bed, feeling somewhat constrained, my bare feet padded out to the sun-room. When I opened the blinds, I spotted a rare sight. 

 Tom Turkey, in his full regalia, was far off in the distance. Fanning his tail, he pivoted in the sunlight. I smiled at this angel sign to be grateful for all the good in that very moment.  The sunlit morning, the green pasture, and the sight of a big, beautiful, happy wild turkey.  It had been awhile since I'd seen the  turkeys, so this seemed like an angel message.  A reminder not to complain, but give thanks for everything.  Wanting a photo of old Tom to share with you, I asked the angels for help, but the turkey was too far away to capture the moment.  I decided to let it go, and be thankful my mood had shifted.  

As I walked to the sofa to join Elliot for meditation, another angel thought came in. All things are possible with God.  And, if God wanted me to have a close-up picture of Tom, he could just appear in the driveway, well within range.  

With that thought, I sat down and closed my eyes to meditate.  

Mozart was playing on the stereo; a peacefulness filled the sun-room. Hei-Hei, our tabby, was fast asleep in his wicker basket by the glass slider.  After a minute or so, the serenity was suddenly broken by a loud THUD at the slider. 

A force hit so  hard, it scared Hei-Hei awake. His nails clicked lickety-split on the wood floor as he ran for safety in the dining room.   

Curious, I got up to take a look.

LOL! Goose bumps rippled my arms.  Healing tears filled my eyes.  

 

Old Tom Turkey stood at the windowpane, so close, we were eye-to-eye. His tail feathers fanned, his beautiful blue painted face and bright red wattle were a glorious sight to behold.  In that incredible moment, the angels' love seemed palpable. He wanted to come inside!  I forgot all about the camera at first, and just showered him with love and gratitude for his message:

All things are possible with God.  Have faith.  Don't worry.  You will always see clearly what you need to see.  What's yours will come to you, so expect good things! And, don't be a doubting "Thomas"...trust that God knows your every need and will always deliver on time.

So dear friends, be at peace today and remember you are in the company of angels.  God is Love.  Look for the good in every moment. God loves you.

The Best is Yet to Come: An Angel Message


 Sometimes angels will direct our eyes to glimpse a certain object at just the right time.  It happened early this morning.  I was sitting in the sun-room and was guided to look across the way.  To my surprise, a golden reflection of Archangel Uriel illumined the wall.  Yesterday I'd rearranged the hallway furniture without much thought, moving this here, and that there.  The table lamp in the living room had created an encouraging angelic silhouette.   THE BEST IS YET TO COME, a free-standing wood block sign on the kitchen countertop, made a perfect caption. I smiled, thinking it could be the song Uriel is strumming on his guitar.  It's time to sing a new song.  Spring is here, filled with resurrection energy. THE BEST IS YET TO COME.

So whatever you may be going through just now, know that there is more to come.  God's angel messages are always available. Keep on having faith.

Love and peace,
