What or who are angels? We have seen mythical images of white robed, winged men or women. Their purpose is to give aid and protect. They are there to serve.
Angels don’t always come in shapes so otherworldly. Sometimes they are the people we bump up against in our daily life.
I must acknowledge one of those angels. I will not mention the angel’s name, because that person would be embarrassed to have it invoked. That is not why this person acts on our behalf. It is simply that this person is that giving. This person’s gifts to us has come at times of some of our deepest needs.
The gift may seem small and inconsequential to this person, but we have received it as a gift from the very hand of God. I know that may sound like a gross exaggeration of the magnitude of the gift, but what one does and what another receives may be wildly different. For example, a gift can be given sacrificially while the recipient may not understand or appreciate the cost. There is no way to measure the impact of gifts given.
So let me say to our angel, thank you for your giving heart. Thank you for your gifts. Most of all, thank you for your love. God bless you as you have blessed us.
