I Enjoy Angels Just Like You Do!

Reading a new issue of Angels on Earth makes the heavenly angels, earth angels and angel sightings come alive for me all over again.

You’d think by the time an issue of Angels on Earth comes out in print, I would have seen enough of it. Think again. It’s always a treat for me to read a new issue like a “real reader” gets to.

Sure, I know what will happen in all the stories, and I’m intimately familiar with every illustration and photograph. Even so, rereading a story while holding it in my hands is a completely new experience for me. The people telling the stories come alive again as I remember our phone conversations, or a particular email exchange. The earth angels they tell about sprout wings all over again. The heavenly angels take flight off the magazine page!

When I turned to the Angel Sightings photo in the January/February issue (one of my favorites ever), I thought of all the other Sightings photographs that we chose from. Photographs you took at home or while you traveled. I thought of all of you as everyday angels in my life, sending me a message: Yes, angels are everywhere!

The snow angels story gave me an idea for shoveling during our next winter storm: I’ll imagine that guardian angels hidden among the falling flakes are helping me get a good workout. The story of Hunny, the world’s most difficult cockapoo, told me I had a couple of animal angels at home – even if they acted more like cats. (I’m kidding. They are cats and they’re lovable but sometimes scratch. Like most cats.)

And I have to say that no matter how many times I read Sherri Brown’s story of her little angel Brianna, I’m no less surprised by what happens in this family.

Is there anything better than sitting down with a new copy of Angels on Earth? Well, maybe putting a new one together. Which, by the way, it’s time to do!
