Angels in my Lounge room

By Bonnie Lee

Angels in my Lounge room, distinctly assumes the reality of a spiritual life. And is not predisposed whether the reader believes in the after life, heaven or in the presence of angels. Rather, it summons the reader toward the wonder of the divine. Albeit, the miracles present in the every day and the phenomena that passes unnoticed. 

So come along into the wonder and take the plunge. As things go, it has always been the season to notice that we have never ever been alone.

Angels in My Lounge Room

Introduction

For some time now, I have come to know that at moments of great need, there is an even greater need for the presence of angels.

Since the days of the ancient prophets in biblical times, to those of George Washington in the winter of 1777 at Valley Forge[1], angels have always been in our midst when it has mattered most.

For the most part, like all others, my humble experience with the angelic has been personal and eventful.

Angelic experiences have informed my past to the present. They have awakened my hunger to comprehend how the divine interposes and interacts with humanity and how we exist to know him.

This curiosity is what began my writing and has brought much emotion as I have endeavored to look back to see the present, in hope to reconcile my future.

While moving across the globe to Australia some years back, I observed myself with different nations of people, languages and ideas. And what I noticed most is how similar we all are, when there is a real need of the divine. As I see it full circle now, living back in the United States.

From family disputes, feelings of isolation and adoption that has taken up thought life. I have found, that to remedy the burden of finding ways to ease my mind piece by piece, has taken time.

However, I am certain still that although I do not have full control over what does not happen in life, I have learnt to be a part of what does happen. And that has given me cause for courage.

With what I have been afforded, I may offer now as to what has persistently been a buttress through the many times of darkness and unrest. Surprisingly, when I could not see any light on my path ahead, and I suffered from a gnawing that I had been alone.

As I look at where I have been and where I am now, I have purged my soul of it.

[2]"He who made the Pleiades and Orion, who brings deathlike shadows over the morning, who darkens the day into night, who calls for the water in the sea and with it floods the earth — Adonai is his name —"
