Let your angels do their jobs

If I’m zipping around in my little red Fiat 500X in a 40-mile-per-hour speed zone and happen to drive 10 miles per hour or more beyond the limit, a woman’s voice gently and softly speaks, “The speed limit is 40 miles per hour.” 

That invisible woman in my car speaks a bit too often to me as I drive, yet each time, I listen. I slow down to the required speed limit because I believe that reminder is my angels’ protection over me to stay safe on the road.  

If I happen to be behind a slow-moving vehicle on a single lane road, I do not feel irritated. You know why? Because I imagine in that car is an angel in disguise protecting me from driving too fast or from reaching something that “might” have happened up ahead had the angel not been present to slow me. 

Again, protection of the angels.  

Have you ever started to leave your house yet had to turn around up the street because you forgot something? Angels. 

Have you ever been preoccupied while in public and heard your name called, only to spin around and no one was there? Angels.  

Have you ever noticed a burst of light in a photo you took? Angels.  

Has your baby or cat or dog ever cooed or meowed or barked while looking in the air or around the room, yet nothing is there? Angels.  

What of the whispers in our ears from our consciousness? Angel messages. 

Do you often find feathers or pennies on the ground? Butterflies or dragonflies fluttering over your head? Red cardinals perching nearby? I believe they are the result angels transporting hello messages from your loved ones in heaven, offering comfort. 

As we zip around in daily life managing ourselves, our families, work, social time and all the zillion details it takes to do-do-do and go-go-go, you better believe God’s messengers are desperately trying to keep up with us!  

Are we allowing them to do their jobs? Are we recognizing their messages, signs, clues, hints … yes, even their warnings? Are we hearing and listening to them, especially when we need them the most? 

Angels are very quiet, you know, they use silent signs to get our attention. So, it takes our concentration – and belief. We must be open to receiving the messages.  

You may ask, “But how do I know if something is a sign from an angel?” If you think or feel it is a sign, most likely it is. If you wish to be even more certain, ask your angels for signs. Talk to them. They are handy. You don’t have to be specific, such as “send me a rainbow.” Angels are quite crafty – they know how to deliver signs and messages. I’ll bet then you will begin to notice more and more signs. Now you’re cognizant of them. 

As well, invite them into situations. I do that often. It works! Say you’re attending a gathering where you know you won’t know many people and aren’t exactly looking forward to going … invite in your angels with you so you can easily chat and meet new people, to enjoy the time pleasantly.  

Say you have a certification exam to take and you feel nervous … invite in the angels with you. Ask them to help keep you relaxed, to help you concentrate and do well. They will serve you.  

Say you need to tell someone some unpleasant news or possibly to fire them, ask the angels to assist you in the task to make it smoother for all involved. 

Listen, I am not an angel, but my message for you is … allow your angels to do their work.  

“Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.” [Hebrews 13:2]
