Angels Are....Neighbors. There are times in life when we feel frightened and alone, and we feel we have no-one with whom to talk or share our everyday problems. It is at these times, an angel who lives right next door, or just down the block,  often steps in. This angelic being is a neighbor who stays with us ,brings a meal, cares for us, or does any of a thousand things that mean so much. Think of what a wonderful neighborhood the world would be if we all decided to become angels for each other.

   Angels are....Teammates. Personal angels are often those who encourage us to pull from our deepest selves the strength or precision that will win the day. These angels are frequently our compatriots, peers, or schoolmates who think of us as members of their team. Whether as part of a sports or business team, these angels put their faith and confidence in us. Even when they have, at times, no reason to trust us so so highly. To these angels, we are forever indebted, for their faith is what inspires us, or enables us to reach to the challenge and become the winners we desire to be.

  Angels Are....A Minister, Rabbi, or a Priest. Anyone who teaches us about the greatest mysteries of life can be an angel for us. These ministering angels grasp deep inside our soul to instill in us a longing desire to learn what and who we are. They also bring us the power to understand and the wisdom we need to build a firm foundation of faith for us to live by.

It is in rugged crisis, in unweariable endurance, and in aims which put sympathy out of the question, that the angel is shown.

--Ralph Waldo Emerson
