Guardian Angels
 
My cousin Karen and I see each other rarely, live perhaps 600 miles apart, and yet take very good care of each other.  We weren’t close as children, (She referred to me as Johnny the Terror; something I never understood.) but we reconnected at our favorite uncle’s memorial service perhaps a decade or so ago. 
 
Since then, we have grown close, like brother and sister, lovingly watching over each over.  During difficult times, we engage in a wondrous habit of support and love — we share our guardian angels, sending them to watch over and help each other. Though I suspect our angels get in more childhood-chum mischief together than they do attend to their appointed jobs, they mostly provide solace and support when needed.  Most of all, it’s a wonderful comfort to know that they — and a far away cousin — are there and caring.
 
My point:  I don’t have a clue.  Maybe it’s that our jobs on this earth are to be each other’s guardian angels, to take care of and watch over each other, to serve and protect each other.  Works for me.  Have a joyful, blessed day, and know you are watched over and loved … always. — jri
 
“If you make the Most High your dwelling –
    even the most high, who is my refuge –
then no harm will befall you,
    no disaster will come near your tent.
For he will command his angels concerning you
    to guard you in all your ways.”
        –    Psalm 91:9-11
 
Prayers matter.  God listens.  So, please pray for all who struggle with illness, loneliness, emotional pain, and financial troubles.  God bless.
