As I paid for my
purchase at a department store, I noticed three
golden angel pins upon a nearby clerk's sweater. I
complimented the woman on her angel jewelry, and the
clerk who was ringing-up my sale commented, "Maybe I
should start wearing angel pins, too. Then I can be
lucky like her!"
"Luck!" I thought
to myself as I caught the eye of the angel-wearing
woman. She winked at me in mutual acknowledgment
that "luck" plays no part in the miracles that come
your way when you invite angels into your life. The
woman explained that twice recently, she'd
experienced miraculous protection at the department
store from her angels. First, her stolen purse was
recovered intact within an hour of the incident.
Second, as a rack full of heavy clothing was falling
on her, it miraculously changed direction and fell a
different way.
As the angel-clad
clerk and I swapped angelic intervention stories,
the eyes of the woman in front me grew large. "Do I
have angels?" she wanted to know, and then asked,
"How can I get them to help me, too?" We always
benefit whenever we invite angels into our lives. To
acquaint you better with the angels in your midst,
let's start by looking at the different roles angels
can take. Three categories of angels help us here on
earth, guardian angels, angels and archangels:
Guardian
angels
Everyone has a guardian angel, with no exceptions.
I've met people who doubted whether they deserved to
have a guardian angel. Please know that you have a
guardian angel with you, guaranteed! This is the
angel who constantly stays with you, from birth
until your transition back to heaven. This angel's
love for you is unconditional and bigger than
anything on this earth. Your guardian angel makes
certain you are safe and guided always.
Guardian angels
are sometimes confused with "spirit guides." A
spirit guide is a loving being who has lived upon
the earth in human form. This person then received
special training in the afterlife about how to
become a spirit guide.
This training
emphasizes that the guide is not to interfere with
your free will or make decisions for you. The guide
is there to give you general advice, comfort, and at
times warning and protection. Most spirit guides are
deceased loved ones, such as grandparents, siblings,
beloved friends, and parents.
Your spirit guide
may have passed-away in the physical life before you
were born. However, this loving being was there at
your birth and has been with you every day of your
life since. Just as you will always take an interest
in your family's future offspring, so do the
deceased family members whom we may have never
encountered in physical form.
Spirit guides act
in the capacity of guardian angels, in that they
bring many gifts to our lives. The main difference
is that true guardian angels, who have never walked
as mortals upon the earth, have a higher vibrating
energy frequency. People who are empathic, who can
"feel" the sensation of a spiritual presence, can
tell the palpable difference between an angelic and
a spirit guide appearance.
Clairvoyants see
that angels' aura is bright white, whereas a spirit
guide's aura is not quite as bright and may appear
as a bluish-white.
Angels
These are the
beings of light who respond to our calls for
guidance, assistance, protection, and comfort. God's
thoughts of love create angels. The angels are here
to help us, especially when our intent is to bring
joy and healing to the world. Ask for as many angels
as you want to surround you. Ask for angels to
surround your loved ones, your home, and your
business. Angels receive great joy at helping us,
and they ask only that we occasionally remember to
say, "Thank you" in gratitude for their help.
