Angels are everywhere!

I love people! I just get such joy from knowing that the people on earth were once my Heavenly brothers and sisters. A friend whom I love so so(times infinity)much and have the greatest respect for and just want to be around all the time, and just talks to her kids so cute and compassionately keened into their every need and is just such a doll words cannot even describe (Kirstin),once was a teacher at church and she joked about how one day we would all be in Heaven together saying "Hey, remember when we were on earth together, that was so much fun!" I have always loved that thought, of us sitting around eating decadent zero calorie foods in our prime laughing about our crazy earth life together. Won't that be fun?

I had surgery on both of my hands this summer for pregnancy induced Carpal Tunnel issues.I have had numbness for a good eight years now. I have tolerated it not overly concerned figuring I needed surgery but I have been busy with babies. I didn't realize that time was a wastin and my nerves were being damaged. The adorable Dr. Greg Biddulph said I had the worst nerve damage he had seen this year proven by the electrocution test I had done that included 20 pokes of tiny needles and shocking me on my hands and fingers and arms. Yucka! Didn't hurt that bad but was grody! Plus cost over a thousand dollars for half an hour.

Anyway, I was somewhere trying to do some fine detail things with my crazy gimpy hands. Isn't gimpy a funny and deranged word? It kind of grosses me out. My sister in law calls them gimpy and it cracks me up and grosses me out also. I was trying to get something accomplished with my gimpy hands and was having a little trouble. An adorable sweet princess of a lady offered to help me. I seriously wanted to cry. It is so nice of people to offer to help. It means so much when you are a insy weensy teensy tiny bit

handicapped. I can't even imagine if I had a real issue. The lady was all worried about being there to continue to help me. I love when people who you don't even know (or remember that you know) are willing and gracious to help. Isn't it much nicer to be in a world where we are looking out for each other whether we know each other or not? I can say coming from someone who was in need, even if it was super duper minor, it was well appreciated and touched my heart. She was my angel sighting this week.

Lets all look out or each other better, friends or strangers. Lets be each others angels...

Unknown said...: LOVED this post Susan. I agree with you - we should not only look for angels everywhere - abut look for opportunities to BE angels to others. You've certainly been one to me with this new baby and Lane. Thanks.; October 4, 2009 at 10:15 PM

You should know that you are the fudge sauce on my icecream, the ice cold lemonade filled with ice on a summer day, the beautiful bright red geraniums in full bloom in the garden, and much more. Love you, Kirsten

I know it is long but it is life altering!

C.S. Lewis- Meanwhile the cross comes before the crown and tomorrow is a Monday morning...It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you say it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. But it is immortals who we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit - immortal horrors or everlasting splendours. This does not mean that we are to be perpetually solemn. We must play. But our merriment must be of the kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest kind) which exists between people who have from the outset, taken each other seriously - no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption, and our charity must be a real and costly love, with deep feeling for the sins in spite of which we love the sinner - no mere tolerance, or indulgence which parodies love as flippancy parodies merriment. Next to the Blessed Sacrament itself, your neighbor is the holiest object presented to your senses."

"Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are course; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fotune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity." Margaret D. Naduald

" Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. -Nelson Mandela-
