An Assignment: Share Angel Messages

The angels need us to be ambassadors of good will and hope.  Their assignment is simple.  Show up and be ready to spread joy, peace, and gratitude.  I had an opportunity to put it into practice today.  I'd been postponing a trip to the Social Security office, like the DMV, the lines can be long and a visit usually involves lots of time and patience.

This morning I decided to change my attitude and go with an expectancy to be helpful.  Rather than making it more my personal agenda, I thought I would try a different approach.  So finding myself open to inspiration, I came across a handful of angel scrolls that I'd made years ago for the angel lectures.  I put them in a little sack in my purse.

When I arrived, the waiting area was packed with people waiting for their number to come up.  With all the available seats taken, I stood by the wall.  The angels prompted me to offer a scroll to two women standing beside me.  They both were happy to receive the Angel of Love; one was a newly wed, married less than two weeks.

Others were interested, and soon more angel scrolls were making the rounds, putting smiles on waiting faces.  There were nods of recognition or laughter at how appropriate their angel virtue scroll was for them.

Some of the angels offered were:  JOY, FORGIVENESS, TENDERNESS, INSPIRATION, LOVE, MUSIC, EXUBERANCE, COMPLETION, TRUST, PATIENCE, and so forth.  The scrolls were made using a label maker software and adding angel clip art.  I roll the little labels into scrolls and fasten them with ribbon. (in case you get inspired to make your own)

Enjoy your day with the Angels.  They so appreciate everything we do to spread the word about them and their loving presence.  Inviting them in wherever we go transforms the atmosphere into divine joy.

Love and blessings,

Oh soul,

you worry too much.

You have seen your own strength.

You have seen your own beauty.

You have seen your golden wings.

Of anything less,

why do you worry?

You are in truth

the soul. of the soul, of the soul.

Enjoy your day with the angels.

A Glad Heart...A Gift of Joy

A glad heart makes a happy face.

                               Proverbs 15:13



(Photo by:  Suebee Sheldon)

The joy of the spirit can only be found from a point functioning within us.  We cannot experience joy until we have found it within ourselves; an eternal wellspring waiting to be tapped.  God and the angels are joy and a zest for life.  Every moment can be filled with wonder as we look out upon the world with the eyes of Love.

No one can steal our joy, unless we let them by our own thoughts.  So why not celebrate Life in joy for Who we are and the gifts we can share with all.

Enjoy your day with the Angels.

Love and blessings,


Karen

The Moon of Your Heart: An Angel Message

Put your thoughts to sleep,

do not let them cast a shadow

over the moon of your heart.

Let go of thinking.

                 RUMI

I didn't know the blog was going to be about the moon today, but as usual one thing leads into another. Before you know it a theme is building. I am so thankful to the angels for their inspiration.  

One of my favorite descriptions of the moon comes from the old classic movie, It's A Wonderful Life.  Jimmy Stewart (George Bailey) asks Donna Reed (Mary Hatch) what she wants.

He asks her if she would like the moon.  He could lasso it for her.  She smiles, "I'll take it, then what?"

"Well, then you can swallow it, and it'll dissolve, see...and the moonbeams would shoot out of your fingers and your toes and the ends of your hair..."

I love his imagery and find it very healing.   Whenever the moon shines through my window, I  like to bask in the moonbeams even if it means taking my pillow and stretching out on the floor in the wake of soft moonlight on the carpet. 

We are like the moon as we have no light of our own.  As the moon gets her light from the sun, we, too, draw spiritual Light from (the Light within.)  Archangel Gabriel is associated with the moon and with love relationships.   

Tomorrow is a full moon, a time when we are most likely to achieve our highest potential.  With the fullness of light, darkness appears brighter so we can transform any negative thoughts that were lurking in the shadows by focusing on the Light within. 

Enjoy your day with the Angels.

Reach for The World

                                (Wikimedia Images)

Some synchronicity was at play yesterday morning. The angels were having fun.  I found this artwork on the web but didn't know what to put with it.  Later in the day, Elliot began playing a song on the piano he'd written many years ago.  I liked the melody so much, I asked for the title.  To my surprise, it was called Reach for the World.  Sometimes answers come like that, you have a need, silently ask for help, walk away from it in your mind, and then the answer practically taps you on the shoulder in ways you never dreamed.  I love it.

The angels are about service, and reaching for the world, is all about sharing.  What blesses one blesses all.



REACH FOR THE WORLD

Reach for the world
Don't you know you got it comin' to you
Reach for the world
It's not very hard for you to do now
You know you can
More than any one man
Have yourself a lot of fun
But don't forget you gotta get it done now

Reach for the World
There's no time for you to lose when you can
Reach for the World
You can do just what you choose if you will
Do all you can
More than any one man
Have yourself a lot of fun
But don't forget you gotta get it done now

Reach for the World
Catch a rainbow high up in the sky and
Reach for the World
Wipe the tears a fallin' from your eyes
You know you can
More than any one man
Have yourself a lot of fun
But don't forget you gotta get it done now.
(c) 1972     Elliot Chiprut

Enjoy your day with the Angels.

Angel Bells: An Angel Message

                                

If you dream it,

   you can do it.

                    --Walt Disney

Yesterday this quote popped up while going through my old journals.  "If you can dream it, you can do it."  Walt Disney certainly knew how to follow his dreams and bring joy into the world.  With the energy of the universal 7 year, more help than usual is available from the spiritual plane.  We only need to pause in gratitude and let the inspiration come into our consciousness.

Sunday afternoon while pouring through some material for a new project, the doorbell rang.   "Come in!" I said, from the sun room sofa, my lap filled with books.  Elliot went to open the door, but the street was empty, not a soul in sight.   

It must have been the angels, I said. We noted the time, quarter to three.  Maybe an angel just got her wings, we both laughed. 

Three is the number of creation, of creativity, and so I welcomed the encouragement to continue pursuing my project idea. Angels lovingly brings thoughts of creativity to be shared with others. I just need to open the door when they come calling. 

Love and blessings,

1:11 The "Key" to Manifestation

                                (Our car plate)

Sunday we dropped my 95 year old Mother off after lunch.  I had plans to work in the garden.  On the way home, Elliot and I stopped at Ace Hardware to buy mulch.  My energy has been low lately and working in the yard perks me up.  The Ace Hardware man loaded six bags of mulch into the trunk. When Elliot put the key in the ignition,the engine turned over and died.  A key icon flashed on the dash board.  A symbol we were not familiar with.  The auto manual said the mobilizer wasn't recognizing the key.  It would need to be reprogrammed at the dealership. I thought for sure my key would work, but when we tried it, the same key icon flashed, and the car stalled in the parking space again.

The angelic clerk in the store came out to help.  He gave us some instructions for turning the key.  It started right up, long enough for me to notice the clock was 1:11.  You're our angel, I told the young man.  He frowned, "But it's not holding."  Sure enough the car died.

I know angels often speak to us in number sequences.  This was one I was familiar with!  Doreen Virtue had written in her angel books that 111 is like the bright flash of a flash bulb.  It means the universe has taken a snap shot of your thoughts and is manifesting them into form. So watch what you're thinking.

I knew it was important to stay positive!  Ace Hardware is located  across the street from our church. While sitting in the car as Elliot was on the phone with Honda, my attention was drawn to one of the stone tablets on the church. The words stood out more so than usual:

 "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free."

In that moment, I had a flash of insight. The key to a positive outcome was to stay in the now and let the truth be what it is.  God is Love and we could never be separated from His Love.

The dealership service center was closed on Sunday.  But we had an idea to go home and get the valet key.  Hopefully, it didn't have the same chip.  So we enjoyed a brisk walk home, thankful for the clear skies and temperate weather.  It turned out that key wasn't the answer.  So, Angel Love spent the night facing traffic on busy Woodland Avenue.  Before going to sleep, I asked the angels to watch over her and if anyone needed a reminder of the angels, they notice the Angel Love license plate.

 We planned to have her towed with Triple A the next day.   Whenever a worry thought popped up that something major was wrong with the electrical system, I would affirm: Divine Mind knows how to fix this car.

The timing of all of this was interesting.  There were other factors that figured in.  We had to rent a car to take Mom to an early doctor's appointment on Monday. Afterwards, we were guided to call Triple A around 11:00.   The right tow truck driver appeared at the right time with the right solution. He took the keys and jumped in.

 VRRROOM! It started right up and kept on running!  I told him what had happened yesterday.  He looked at me with a gleam in his eye: That was yesterday.  This is today!  (A kindly reminder)

Being a doubting Thomas, we suggested he try the other keys.  The engine conked out after starting it with the 3rd key.  He thought the battery was low, so after a jump start, he suggested driving it to a local auto store.  They would check it out for free.  He was right! We bought a new battery and the installation was free, saving us an expensive trip to the dealership.  The keys worked fine.

That's the way the angels work if we listen in and follow their prompts without reacting.  Getting angry, fearful, or reacting negatively can cloud the screen and we can't pick up their signals on the best way to go.
I'm so thankful to know that we are always in the loving presence of the angels, God's messengers of His pure intuition.

Enjoy your day with the Angels.

Love and blessings,

Karen

Guardian Angel Friendship

(Artwork from Wikimedia Commons)

It is good news to know that we have an eternal  friend; human friendships often lead to disappointment, falling short of the divine.   But our Guardian Angel is always with us, whispering "I am your friend."  How often do we seek advice from outsiders before going within and listening to the wisdom in our own heart. Our Guardian Angel knows us inside and out.  Why not trust and give thanks for the love of God poured through these celestial messengers on high.

2014 marks a New Year, a clean page, a new beginning, IF we can let the past go of 2013 in gratitude for all the good it brought and not revisit old hurts and resentments.  The errors and failures of the old year are bathed in the Flame of Forgiveness and Grace in order that the soul may begin the new year free from the chains created by its own actions.  Now there is a greater opportunity for progress and spiritual unfoldment if we stay in the present. 

This New Year represents an opportunity for each soul to ride upon the celestial tide into the heart of heavenly Christ consciousness.  The challenge is to try to live in the New Year as if there had never been an old,  except for the good that came from experience.  

 With the fresh  energy of the "7" Universal Year, it is a spiritual year in which we can receive an even greater dispensation from the celestial realm. 

Enjoy your day with the Angels,

Love,

Karen

Spider in the Mirror: An Angel Message

Last night on our way out to dinner, it was still daylight when Elliot backed the car down the driveway.  I popped open the visor to put on some lipstick. The light came on and I saw another reflecting in the glass.  A medium size spider in the far corner seemed to be fixated on the mirror. Startled,  I quickly closed the lid, knowing she would get out the same way she got in. Realizing that nature delivers messages in your face, I sheepishly took this one to heart.   What was this spider doing gazing at her reflection, shut away from the world. Clearly that was no place to express creativity which a spider is known for.  Create.  Create. Create. is the spider's symbolism.

 I sunk down in the seat knowing my creativity has been at an all time low.    

Then, on our way to the restaurant, I noticed the church marquis on the corner. WHO AM I?  

The lesson was accumulating.  

I thought about the spider in the mirror. I wondered,  Am I just the face I see in the looking glass?

 This week's Bible lesson quoted Psalm 90:  "...we spend our years as a tale that is told."  Spider teaches that we weave the world around us by our thoughts, words, and deeds.  We are the "writers" of our own destiny.  

Everything that we do now is weaving what we will experience.   There are no neutral thoughts. Spider teaches us how to maintain a balance between the material and the spiritual; feminine and masculine; past and future.

This morning I checked on the spider, to my delight she had moved on, having delivered the message.  

Today my card is the Angel of Vision.  A little angel with an eye chart like this:

SOUL

SIGHT

FUTURE

Synchronicity was at play.  Yesterday I started the lessons from A Course in Miracles.  The first set of lessons are all about "seeing."  Something I've been working on for the past several months.

So the spider was a reminder of my True identity.  I am made in the image and likeness of God.  I am not material.  I am spiritual.  Therefore, I can only reflect the attributes of God.  A reflection can never be separated from its Creator.  And reflection has not one shred of materiality in it.

To think like God is to share

His certainty of what you are,

and to create like Him is to share

the perfect Love He shares with you.

    (A Course in Miracles)

Enjoy your day with the Angels.  Watch for the ways angel messages are being delivered to you.

Love and blessings,

Divine Timing - An Unexpected Bloom or Two

                                Bromeliad in bloom this morning!

This morning I had a wonderful surprise when I looked out the window. Two bromeliads had bloomed in bright pink.  I couldn't believe my eyes at first and so took the camera to get a closer look.  It was a double surprise, with the freeze last week it didn't seem likely... But I had intended that the garden be protected from the frost by the Angels and also I tucked the plants under blankets for a good night's rest.

As I admired these beauties I was learning the lesson of divine timing, and how it is not limited by the laws of the material plane.

The esoteric message of the bromeliad is to open up to our deeper nature, the self that is part of a grander whole. Pink is the color of Divine Love. This flower can teach us that we are surrounded by all the support (love) we need.  They show us the innate potential inside us, our resourcefulness and capacity to change, adapt and grow. They help us to challenge many of the flawed views we hold about life and ourselves. 

 Bromeliad encourages us to learn to cultivate and build upon the potential that is within us as opposed to working on the list of faults that limit us. The blossom grows from deep within the core.   The moral?  Be yourself and you will bloom at the perfect time.

I was so thankful to the Angels of Nature for this timely message.

Enjoy your day with the Angels.

Love and blessings,


Karen

Time to Wake Up

When I found our sweet cat, Angel, last evening, I was surprised to see her asleep by the globe.  She looked so cute covering her eyes with her paw, and she didn't even stir when I took her photo (without the flash).  Usually she curls up on a fuzzy blanket, not on a hard wicker table.  Watching her sleep I got the message: It's time for humanity to awaken to our divinity, to rise and shine.  

Enjoy your day with the Angels.

Love and blessings,


Karen
