The Peacock Rainbow - An Angel Message

Angel messages may come in mundane ways. Last week a friend sent me this picture of a peacock from her Christmas card. She added a blessing for the new year and wondered how I would react. But, her guidance had been so strong that she sent the partial card, knowing my passion for peacocks. I loved the beautiful bird and propped it up on the end table in plain view.

This morning, what a surprise to find a rainbow glowing on the card as I sat in the chair beside it.  It seemed to bring another angel message of hope and peace for the new year.

Peacock often symbolizes the Christ and represents watchfulness.

But more was to come...after taking this photo, I noticed the old tea-towel I had used the day before while eating a juicy orange. The words seemed to jump out at me. ACE PEACE. 

Chuckling, it seemed the angels had a universal message: Play the PEACE ACE you hold in your hand, and don't throw in the towel when the game gets messy.

Love and joyful blessings,

The Missing Key - An Angel Message

Several days ago Elliot discovered a lost key on the front walk. This find reminded me of other keys that had turned up in the past.

For instance, one day while sitting in the backyard, I was just drifting with no particular thought. The large trees had been recently pruned, cutting away the dead wood.  I was feeling a little pruned myself and so I was spending time enjoying nature in the now.  As I laid back on the chaise lounge, my attention was drawn to the giant key propped up against the old camphor tree.  It had been a fun find at a thrift shop that made me wonder about the large door of opportunity it  could open. Alice in Wonderland came to mind... how objects would grow or shrink to teach her a lesson.

I love the ending of her journey. As Alice is frantically retracing her steps back to the door, the Queen's fierce army of Cards in hot pursuit is about to nab her. In a barrage of fear, it looks like Alice is a goner, but she knows the goal. If she can just make it to the door, she'll be home! To her surprise, as she pulls on the doorknob, the door is locked! I've got to get home! Her fate seems sealed, but when she was told to look through the keyhole, in amazement, she sees herself sleeping peacefully under the shade of the tree. WAKE UP, ALICE!, she repeatedly shouts. Thank God that it was only a dream. Alice was home all the time.

So no matter what your story may look like today, as you look at your keys, may you remember the missing key: WAKE UP! It's only a dream, that you can ever be separated from the Love of God. Angels lovingly watch over you.

You are at home in God,

dreaming of exile

but perfectly capable of

awakening to reality.

                                        Is it your decision to do so?                                        (A Course in Miracles - Chapter 10)

Enjoy your day with the Angels.

Angels and Dreams

Several years ago, before creating this blog, I had a wonderful dream. I saw two angels at dusk walking at the edge of a field bordered by tall trees. Although they were a good distance away, I could feel the rush of their holy presence on the other side of the field. It was the same wonderment one gets when seeing snow for the very first time. Hurrying towards them, I called out. They were dressed in white and somehow lighted. I thought perhaps they were carrying candles, but it was the glow of their light that helped me see them. By the time I got to where they were, they had disappeared. I awakened hearing a familiar angel tune that I hadn't heard in quite a long while.

Curious, the next morning, I went to get the songbook. To my surprise,  it was opened to Adoration to the Angels. The song I heard in my dream!

"Dear angels, bright angels now hov'ring above
Are watching, protecting, and guiding with love
Dear angels of heaven, our songs rise to thee
In quiet communion thy beauty we see

Dear angels, blest angels send comfort to earth
In minst'ring, healing, and giving rebirth
Perfection's great light now enfold every soul
To teach us and help us to all reach our goal.

Dear angels, God's angels, thou cohorts of Light
Though presently veiled from our earthly sight
God's peace and God's love are the keys to your heart
We love you and pray that you never depart.

Then one day, dear angels, we'll rise up to thee
To dwell in the realms of they creativity
We then shall ascend borne on Light's shining ray
Majestic, triumphant, bring in the new day."
(Summit University Press)

This precious dream and the synchronicity that followed were a gift that strengthened my faith in the unseen help that is available to us all. 


Enjoy your day with the Angels.

How Deep Is Deep Enough? An Angel Message

While taking a walk at Back Bay Park in Virginia Beach, I was surprised to find this water level marker sticking up like a yardstick. How deep is deep enough? It brought back memories of a time when my life was at the crossroads. I was driving back home to Atlanta from a visit in my home state Virginia. No more NBC angel documentaries were planned. 

 What next?

 With 500 miles to go, I reached for the car radio to break the monotony. It was timely as I listened to a Christian broadcast on Joshua and his plight to cross the Jordan River with all the Israelites. Not really in the mood for a sermon, I changed the station.  But it was the only program on the airwaves.  In need of guidance, I stayed tuned:

The minister asked, “Do you know what it's like to camp? The preparation required?”

Joshua was responsible for 3 million people. He needed a state the size of Rhode Island, a 700-mile radius for the Israelites. God provided garments and shoes that lasted for 40 years. Heavenly manna was provided daily. As they marched along, the people were told to stay far behind the Ark of the Covenant. Some believed this was because they were tainted and may spoil the Ark. But the minister said that God wanted all the people to be able to keep their eyes on the Covenant. If it were too close to the crowd up front, the people in the back would not be able to see it.

The minister spoke about the faith the priests who carried the Ark had to have the day they approached the Jordan River. The closer they came to the water's edge, the more trust was needed. There was no visible sign the mighty river would recede. They began to wade into the water.

The minister said, “The message was to keep your eyes on God." Sometimes God doesn't come until the water is up around your knees. Sometimes your neck. But the point is, you have to put your feet in the water before He will come. You can't just stand on the shore. You have to have faith and demonstrate that faith. As you go through uncertainties in your life, keep your eyes on God and remember how He came through for you in the past.

I turned off the radio.        

Glug...Glug...Glug...I was in the deep water, for sure, uncertain about my future. After listening to that timely message, the rest of the drive, I reflected on how God had helped me with other challenges.  Instead of worrying about the future, I needed to trust God.

Later in South Carolina, I tried the radio again, hoping for some music. The only program within range was that same talk about Joshua! I laughed, recognizing the angels wanted to make sure I got it. "Thank you, Angels.  I got it the first time!"  I was grateful for the message.

Finally back in Atlanta, as I turned down the driveway at home, the church marquis on my street made me look twice: Keep your eyes on Jesus. 

Enjoy your day with the Angels. May our faith deepen this year with the help of God's Angels.

Helping Hand

Angel messages often appear in unusual and inspiring ways. This morning rather than jump up to do the daily tasks, I sat still enjoying a peaceful moment on the sofa before the rush of the day. The chill in the room had me reach for the warmth of the lamp beside me. As I gazed at the lampshade, I saw my hand magnified by the light. In that moment, an angel thought illumined my mind: How will you use your hands today? There are endless opportunities to give this year a helping hand.

Enjoy your day with the Angels.

Happy New Year: An Angel Message

This peacock fanned his feathers as I took his picture on New Year's Eve. His message was to look back in gratitude and let the old year go. I watched him pivot to reveal his best side as he faces a brand New Year.

It seemed like good advice and I thanked him for his royal display.

May the coming year fill your heart with joy, love and peace as you explore the beauty of nature that surrounds you.

Love and joyful blessings,

Creating Space For Change

      

  Angels can fly because

   they take themselves lightly.

--G.K. Chesterton

I learned a new word this week. Minimalism. To live with less. Maybe you've heard of it. There's a documentary on Netflix that I have yet to watch on this subject, but the trailer sent me on a quest that stirred up the nest. It's the idea of living lighter by letting go of unnecessary stuff and keeping life simple. Anything that I didn't absolutely love, or haven't used in several years was gathered up. Before long, the car was loaded with boxes and bags of kitchen ware, knick'knacks, books, dishes, pots and pans, CD's, clothing, decorations, etc. I plowed through closets and cupboards so fast that Elliot's head spun as we drove to the local thrift shop.

Living lighter feels better; the house is more spacious and the stagnant energy that had collected in the corners was freed up. The Angels encourage us to lighten our load.

I've always heard the universe abhors a vacuum, so I shouldn't have been surprised when my friend called the next day. Did I want some free furniture from her office that was closing down? As tempting as it was, I declined. More or less, I am getting there day by day. What better time to clear out the old and make space to begin a new year by sharing with others.

Enjoy your day with the Angels.

An Angel Lesson: Unity of Light

My heart was feeling troubled over the state of our country and its dividing factions.  Red states, blue states which when blended harmoniously red and blue transform into purple, a spiritual color reflecting higher consciousness.   I was praying for peace and the words divine order came to mind.  Then I was shown a colorful strand of Christmas lights.  The bulbs although different in color: red, green, blue, orange, and white all were lighted by the same Source energy.  The light coursing through the unity of one cord was at the core of each reflection.  And so I could see how it truly is with humanity; on the exterior we may appear to have a different complexion but underneath the material projection is the Light that makes each of us glow in our own shade.  I was so thankful for this simple lesson.  And several days later, while waiting in line at Lowe's, there on the shelf was this package of multi colored lights that brought a smile.

I am beginning to see the more I stay plugged into the universal light, the higher consciousness can shine bright for miracles to abound.  The evergreen tree that holds the lights symbolizes eternal life and brings joy to the heart as we celebrate our spiritual identity.

Enjoy your day with the Angels.

An Angel in the Atmosphere

During the blessed month of December, the angels draw closer to the Earth, spreading love and peace. You can feel their joyful presence in the air.  This morning a wonderful sign appeared in my email box.  A gift from a friend in England. His daughter had captured this amazing photo of the northern lights shining bright over Iceland.  A reminder perhaps to let our hearts grow warm as we open up to receive and share the gifts of divine love this month.

Enjoy your day with the Angels.

Thanksgiving Angel

Outside the open window
The morning air is all awash with angels.
     --Richard Wilbur

One thing usually leads to another as far as the angels are concerned.  Sunday morning a beautiful Monrovia star popped up on the shelf at Lowes. These stars are an absolute favorite. I had gone for flowers and returned with more light.  

That evening when the star shone in the dining room, I was guided to bring Mom's  Light angel from the porch to the large picture window in the dining room for those passing by to see.  Her countenance illumined the dark of the night.  But more was to come.

When sunshine poured through the window the next morning, the angel of light appeared in a beautiful silhouette on the floor.  A reminder that our Angels are with us in times of dreary darkness or bright sunshine, their presence is constant and the message is always Light.

Thanksgiving can be a difficult time for those who have lost loved ones.  Look for angel messages of comfort this week.  They are heart whispers from our loved ones that may appear unexpectedly as feathers, pennies, songs, or whatever speaks to your memory of your dear one.

We give thanks for all the blessings we receive and share to make this season filled with gratitude for all Life, eternal Love.

Enjoy your day with the Angels.

Angel of Transformation and Synthesis

Today two angels stuck together when I reached for a card from the angel bowl.  What a pleasant surprise, both were associated with the rainbow!  Rainbows continue to be a theme and show up in surprising ways.  Yesterday at the lake, the fountain spray reflected the sunlight in a warm array of rainbow colors.

At this time of spiritual transformation, the angels encourage us to keep the faith.  More is going on than we can understand so trust in the Love of God to break through any clouds. Call on the Angels of Transformation and Synthesis today and see what happens.

Peaceful blessings,

Another Rainbow Angel Message

Sunday evening while sitting on the porch, it was almost sunset when another rainbow appeared in the sky across the street.  I got a glimpse of it with the cellphone camera.  

These wonderful signs in nature encourage our thoughts to come up higher.  

We never know how high we are

Till we are called to rise;

And then, if we are true to plan,

Our statures touch the skies.

                          --Emily Dickinson

We have help with our spiritual acceleration. Thank goodness, the angels are here in full force.  Watch and pray for divine assistance. 

Enjoy your day with the Angels.

Love and joyful blessings,


Rae Karen
