Day 28: What Angels See

The Prompt: What do angels see?

A bit vague today.  I'm just going to take a guess at what this could mean.  I did want to write a poem, but I don't think I have enough time tonight.  Maybe another day....

Angels see sadness, discouragement, and depression.  They are right there when you need a shoulder to cry on. They don't get a chance to touch you in person (even though they ache to do so), but they are standing right next to you or above you just the same.  Angels even kneel and pray to God right along side you.  They cry with you and hope you will see the truth of God's promises for you the way they see it.  If you've had a sensation that someone is giving you a hug or reaching out to touch your hand, you can be certain it is either God or one of His angels.  Of course you have guardian angels too.  They see the danger ahead of time and help you when you need it most, such as nudging you awake before you drive your car into the opposite lane of traffic.

Angels aren't only there for the bad moments.  They are able to witness all the happy times you experience.  They're present when you get your first kiss or recite your marriage vows.  They cheer each time a new baby is born.  They rejoice when people finally break down and accept Jesus.  They are standing in the crowd when they get baptized.  They're your number one audience when you have a school presentation or a big speech.  Angels dance around you when you get that job offer you've been praying for.

Angels also enjoy God's handiwork.  How do you think the clouds get shaped the way they do?  The angels play with them, after they play games with each other in the sky.  Their favorite place to fly is the Grand Canyon because of all the open space they have alongside those painted canyons.  Some prefer a more gentle approach and dip their toes in the water or sit in a meadow to smell the flowers.  In the winter, those snowball fights they have can almost create a storm.  The artistic ones love creating icicles or making ice designs on the windows.

Whatever they do, angels are always nearby, God's special messengers whenever you need them.
