Five Minute Friday: Glue: Sometimes there is no glue.

Sometimes there just. is. no. glue.  Mothers weeping for their children...sorrows like sea billows roll in Korea...parents who sent their beloved ones on field trips by busses and boats, never again to see them alive.  On this Good Friday, they weep and wail, and I weep with them...parents in my town who lost their daughter and son, same age as my own...earthquakes, disease.  Sometimes there just is no glue.  But there are wings of angels.  In my deepest darkest night of the soul some years ago when told I was going to die and leave my young children behind, when my body hurt so badly and was too weak to fulfill any bucket list, I saw the white feathers around me.  I knew for weeks on end that I was being held because I could see the tips of the wings...no faces...but I knew. There is no glue to heal a heart that is ripped apart by such agonizing loss, but I pray today that those people in the news, not just faces, but human grieving souls will see the wings of God's angels sent to carry them through.
May it be so, we pray.

Angels and a Giveaway

 These sweet little angels are posted outside my kitchen window reminding me when I am inside or out, that I am being watched over.  I have had an amazing experience of angels in my life after my car went off a cliff 11 years ago, broke in pieces and I was saved...lots of physical and speech therapies..and another disease discovered that required chemo...but throughout those 3 worst years, I was given the grace of seeing white feathery angel wings that told me an angel held me.  At times I worried about my children--then so young--and I saw them held by that same white feathery winged angel.

 These 2 were freebies from thefeatherednest originally

This Christmas I am making a garland with these free downloadable images...you too can download them.  Mine is a story of amazing grace and love during a time of uncertainty, pain and fear...something I want to remember with my garland. 

I hope to have it made next week to show you the finished one.

 

These awesome canvases would go nicely with my angels!!  I love that the angels in Bible stories always said "Fear not!"  when they greeted someone.
