SECTION ONE: ANGELS

ANGELS 1

Everyday people

Who reach out

A helping hand

To those along their walk.

To help lift a shoulder or

Steady a faltering step.

To offer the light of their own lanterns

When other grows dim

Or

Lift our lanterns

When we grow weary.

ANGELS 2

Angels

Come

In all different

Sizes and ages.

Some wear

Flowing

Gowns of white

Others wear

T shirts and sneakers

For we all

Are

God’s Angel

Here on earth.

Helping Him

As He helps other

On their Christian walk.

DURING CHURCH

Quietly

The angels come

Silently

In answer to our pleas.

Surrounding us

Uplifting us.

Protecting us.

Joining us

As we praise

Our Lord and Saviour.

Thank-you Lord.

THE MIRACLES OF FRIENDS

Friends

Do not know

The small miracles

They perform

Every day Just by

Being there

Listening

Caring

Sharing

Thank-you

For being there

For being God’s Miracle Worker

When He needed

Another earthly angel.

STREET ANGELS

Lankly and lean

They walk the streets

Patrolling

Looking out

For anyone in need

The homeless, the orphans

Caring for the sick

Helping single moms

By babysitting.

Lending a helping hand

To the handicapped

Or one less fortunate

Then themselves.

Rough and Tumble

God’s Street Angels.

ANGELS 3

Angels

Do you know that they are everywhere?

Beside us

Daily.

Sometimes

Their battle armor

Outshines

Their heavenly robes.

Sometimes

The joy of celebration, prayer and praise

Outshines them.

But everyday

They walk beside us.

Our constant companions

Send by Our Lord

To help comfort and support

His people

On their daily walk

On this earth.

Thank-you Lord.

ANGELS 4

Our Heavenly Father

Sends

His angels

To walk with us

As we travel

Along His path.

His angels

Comfort us

Lending a shoulder

To lean on

A listening ear

To hear our cries

Or

Our praise.

His angels

Walk with us

Thru the storms

The deserts

The mountain tops

The retreats.

Thank-you Lord

For Our Angelic Companions.

Your Emissaries

Your emissaries

Walk the earth.

We do not know

Who they are.

The weary traveller

Seeking aid.

The single mom

And her family

Seeking food.

The homeless

Seeking shelter.

The down and out

Seeking a friend

To talk to.

The drunk

Seeking guidance and support.

Reminding us

That everyone

Friends, strangers and enemies

Is part of

Your Heavenly Family.

And

That we should

Treat them all

With the same respect

That you treat us.

Thank-you Lord.

FRIENDS

Friends

Are people

Who come

To your aid

When all else

Fails.

Friends

God’s Special Angels

Here on earth.

Thank-you Lord.

HOLY SPIRIT OUTFITS

The Holy Spirit

Dresses the souls

For those who

Follow Our Lord.

So look

Before you judge

Those who reach out

To help you.

For Our Lord

Uses many different souls

To reach out to us.

Thank-you Lord

For the clothing

Of the Holy Spirit.

ANGELS 5

His majesty

Can be seen

In snow covered mountains

Rainbows

Flocks of flamingos

Rising from a pale blue lake

Covered with mists.

Yet

He can be seen

Also

In

The helping hand

Of a stranger.

A smile from a friend.
