Angels Unawares

By and large this is my favorite time of year. I’m not speaking of Thanksgiving, per se. Not even of Christmas. I’m speaking of this small window between them, that one week or so when everything is seen with magical eyes and a thankful heart.
The day after Thanksgiving is traditionally when the Christmas decorations are taken down and put up. Last Friday found me inundated with all manner of lights and greenery.
And ornaments. Especially ornaments.
One in particular caught my eye, which made me think of something I read on Thanksgiving Day, which made me think of something else. Confusing, maybe. But also how my fuzzy mind often seems to work.
One thing was certain, though. Angels aren’t just present during Christmas. They’re everywhere everyday. Want proof? Then follow me to katdish’s blog…

I’m a writer whose first novel, Snow Day, will be published by FaithWords in 2010.
But don’t let that fool you. I’m just as confused as anyone.
And that is fine with me, because the great thing about wandering around in the fog is that you never know what you might run into.

I have such trouble remembering to look for angels throughout the year. This was a great post, Billy. I like how you put it that angels aren’t just supernatural beings. . . Nice perspective. Happy Monday!
OK, this was a great post…..and I especially appreciated it as I have a special place in my heart for ornaments. The fact that I have my box of ornaments included in our fire escape plan might allude that I take it to an unhealthy level, but that is beside the point.
Now I know where the word for angel in one of my native languages came from! We call them “malaika”. Thank you. Billy I often thank my friends who have been there through this journey of life all the time and especially the tough times, but only started calling them angels the last couple of years. They truly are, just as surely as you have become to me.
