Oh i believe there are angels among us.
Sent down to us from somewhere up above.
They come to you and me in our darkest hours.
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give.
To guide us with a light of love

I know for a fact this is true! I also know that some of the angels are just people who live their faith everyday. They are God's presence reflected by acts of charity and faith they do every day. Whether it's helping with money, or lending a hand when family is not or cannot be there. They not only talk the talk but walk the walk of believers. They hold out a hand to the weary, the downtrodden, the lost and the found. They don't discriminate based on color of skin, income level, or even belief or disbelief.
Every time I feel like my God has forsaken me, He sends a fresh shower of love from His people. I don't know the name of this person, and if I did, I would not choose to expose them. They don't help me for who I am OR who they are. They help whenever and wherever they can because they are called to by God. I WILL not belittle their acts of charity by trying to find out who they are. Instead I will thank God, from whom all blessings flow. Had they not experienced the richness and fullness of God's blessings, they would not have the means or desires to help me when I am in need.
I know that when I was able to contribute in the Father's name, I did. It is part of human nature to crave gratitude, but I conquered my own human nature that time. I remember Pastor saying, "God does not let His true believers willingly go hungry". I didn't really comprehend. Much of God's ways are not meant for us to comprehend here in this life. We are merely meant to choose, Life over Death, Faith over disbelief, Grace over Sin. There will come a day when the scales will fall away and all will be revealed.
For today, let me thank my Father God, for the blessing of the means to get my daughter to her doctor's appointment on Tuesday, and food enough for our household to eat. Yes that included our pets. They have been part of our family since before times got hard. They do not deserve to go hungry either. I could no more give any one of them up than I could Ralph or Julia. I saved 50% on the little amount of food I bought Oreo and the kitty girls are settling for A $1 box of food from the dollar store. As for the groceries, I save 54% on the total bill. That included milk, bread, meat, vegetables, all the staples. I didn't need paper products because I had stocked up when I was able to get 12 double roll packs of tp for $3.50 after coupon.
Thank You God, for the angel you have watching over me and my family. Please bless them with the knowledge that their act of charity was gratefully received, prudently managed, and that You got all the glory! AMEN!
