banqueting tables

welcoming

a

new day

Angel's Wings ~

"It's always darkest before the dawn."

A quote my grandmother

often repeated

when things

were looking their bleakest.

A quote that came to mind

as I gazed through the kitchen window

early Tuesday morning

before the sun would light the sky.

And then,

as dawn danced across the heavens,

another came to mind.

He sends His angels as ministering spirits

... as flames of fire ...

and

watching the morning

unfold

took on a whole new meaning.

 

in the midst

of

the darkness

 

rest your mind

and

quiet your heart

and you may just hear

the gentle flutter

or

the mighty swoosh

of

angel's wings.

{Unknown to me at the time I was writing this, my son and his father, who are hundreds of miles from home, had hit a large buck, gone into the ditch and back out, and were miraculously unhurt. The same can't be said for the vehicle. Oh yes, He does give His angels charge over us ... just as He promised.}
