791st -- Laughing Angels

  

We should always have a lighthearted attitude and make it a goal to enjoy
and appreciate each day that we are alive. We should never go through our
lives so serious that we don't stop to smell the roses, enjoy the scenery
of God's creation and simply pause to appreciate this moment that we are 
alive. We must remember that tomorrow is promised to no man and our life
as secure as it may seem right now can be taken away from us at any moment.
This is all the more reason that we should laugh more, love more, enjoy 
one another more, give thanks and praise to God more than simply be in the 
moment more. Be encouraged to see things with a new perspective if you're 
finding yourself losing the joys of life. See that you have much to be 
thankful for and set your mind to enjoy each day that comes before you.

I hope this message encourages and challenges your heart to see the good 
that surrounds you. Do not allow yourself to focus on the negative, but 
rather focus more on your blessings and you'll soon find great peace that
surpasses all understanding.


LAUGHING ANGELS

My youngest son doesn’t talk much. He has severe Autism that hampers his 
ability to speak and communicate. It also locks him in his own world much
of the time. Yet, when he laughs and smiles he can light up the darkest 
day. Sometimes he will break into a spontaneous spasm of giggles for no 
apparent reason at all. When this happens my daughter and I will often 
joke that his dearly departed Grandma and her angel friends must be 
tickling him.

The other night while I was busy working at my desk I once more heard his
musical laughter behind me. I asked, “Son are the angels tickling you 
again?” and got an even louder burst of giggles as an answer. I smiled and
turned around to see him. There he stood under the ceiling fan with its 
glass globe glowing above his head like a halo. Dangling from it too was a
glass angel figurine that we had tied to the light cord years before. Both
the angel and my son seemed to sparkle in the light before my eyes. It was
then that I realized that my daughter and I had been right all along. God
did have His angels watching over my angel. I was sure too that they were
sharing in every bit of laughter and joy that he was blessing this world with.

The word angel originally meant “messenger”. That is what my son is to me
and to everyone he meets. Some people with closed minds and shut down 
hearts might look at him and see him as less than human. To me he is more
than human. He is an angel whose messages are ones of unconditional love 
and unlimited joy. He may not say many words but his soul speaks volumes.
He may appear handicapped in the eyes of Earth, but in the eyes of Heaven
his light is among the brightest. I know as well that angels are watching
over his every move and joining in his every laugh. I only pray that my 
own heart will remain open to the lessons he teaches and that my pen will
allow me to share them with you. May the laughter of angels always bless 
your life as well.

Read and meditate on these scriptures:

Joshua 1:9 “Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be
not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee 
whithersoever thou goest.”

Psalm 28:6-8 “Blessed be the LORD, because He hath heard the voice of my 
supplications. The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in
Him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my 
song will I praise Him. The LORD is their strength, and He is the saving 
strength of His anointed.”

Isaiah 61:3 “...To give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for 
mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they 
might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He 
might be glorified.”

Philippians 1:6 “Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath 
begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.”

All of these scriptures can be found in the King James Version Bible.
