Window Treatments: Angel Message

Early one morning last week,  I yanked opened the curtains in my office.  The sudden noise had startled a young deer at the edge of the woods. He disappeared from sight, leaving only a smiling sun ornament hanging at the window aglow with golden rays.   

So as not to repeat the same mistake, I slowly opened the curtains by my desk, and peeked out.  

To my surprise, the same juvenile deer now stood by the playhouse. Staring at me with wide-eyed wonder, he stood motionless.  

Our hearts seemed to meld in a Oneness of Life as I spoke softly sending him words of love.  I love you with the love of Christ.  You are so beautiful.  Thank you for coming.  

His white high-tail gave a quick happy swirl as our eyes continued to embrace in a gaze of Love reflecting Love. Then, he turned and joyfully bounded down the trail toward the woods, leaving me in wonder.

It had been awhile since any deer had come by. Construction work is on hold for now in the woods, so I was happy for a visit.  

The night before, a bad storm shook the house in thundering claps. The safety of the animals and birds came to mind as I laid in the dark. Flashes of lightning bolts darted the sky, flickering through the bedroom window slats. I prayed for their protection.  Then, I imagined tomorrow... the sun would be out tomorrow.  This too would have passed. And, all would be well as we enjoyed our usual morning oatmeal. 

So what a treat awaited me behind the curtains the next morning. Something better than I could have imagined.  Not only golden sunshine, but a gentle deer paid a visit.  I was so thankful for the holy encounter. It had been the answer to prayer.  God is Love.  Perfect love casts out fear.

When a deer appears, it is a luring to new adventure. A time to be gentle with yourself and others.  A new innocence and freshness is about to be awakened or born.

Enjoy your day with the Angels.  Remember God loves you.  You are never alone, so keep on looking up.  The best is yet to be.

 Love and peace,

Rae Karen

A Dear Gift at Dusk: An Angel Message

At twilight time, a peaceful hush blanketed the threshold of another day fading.  Last evening, in gratitude, I looked out the living room window.  At the far end of the pasture, something new caused a stir of excitement.

  A large animal's broad brown back was toward me, head bent low, grazing in the quiet field next door.  Joyfully, I hoped our neighbors had added a donkey, like Allahambra, to their menagerie. 

That thought quickly dissolved into something just as precious...

A tall lone deer lifted her head, doe-full eyes intently gazed in my direction.

 The first sighting in the neighborhood.

Spellbound, I did my best to zoom over the field toward her peaceful presence.  The gentle deer held her graceful pose, wide-eyed, looking my way. 

In the awkward struggle to steady and focus, I called on the angels for help in capturing this sacred moment. The camera lens bounced up and down, beeping a signal for more light every time I pressed the photo button.

Then as quickly as she appeared, I watched her gracefully leap the tall pasture fence in a single bound.   Her white tail waved a friendly good-bye, as she pranced to the other side of the road. 

Later I learned that my new camera is not ideal in low light.  After all my constant clicking, only one photo had been uploaded.   But in the end, that was what I needed to share with you. 

I was thankful for the deer's message to move gently into new areas.  Times are changing and so we have an opportunity to reinvent our life and where it is heading, with the help of Christ and God's angels.

Enjoy your day with the Angels.

Love and joyful blessings,
