I have always had such a strong belief/love/adoration for one of God's most beautiful and amazing creations . . . angels! They have been the center of my fascination for a long time now, and I thought to myself, "What could be better than devoting an entire web page to them?!?" So, the following is my brain storm in progress (for the second time, since I lost the whole thing during the first attempt). My goal is to share my interest in angels and other inspirational works with as many people as I can; I'd like to spread my message of faith across the web. Never forget that your guardian angel is always on your shoulder protecting you as you travel along the paths and rough terrains in life. You should call on/turn to them and God for support, especially during times of need & despair! Listen to your angel! In the meantime, you are the
person to allow yourself to be touched by an angel . . .
We often see Natures beauty and
It's splendor at the dawn of a new day
What each day has in store for us ...
No one knows, like a present it has
To be opened.
It has always amazed me to see how
It unfolds, leaving me with yet another
Question?
How will I contribute to society today?
A simple , yet profound question we all
must ask ourselves, but in the final
Analysis I hope we are all
Leaving a positive influence on the
People we meet each day...
Because what we do today could
Determine how we spend tomorrow.

If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in
praise, I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them
back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute or
two, to stop and say that "I love you," Instead of assuming that you
KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day,
well, I'm sure you'll have so many more, So I can let this one slip
away.
For surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance to make everything all right.
There will always be another day to say our "I love you's,"
And certainly there's another chance to say our "Anything I can do's."
But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you and hope we never forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one
tight.
So, if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day,
That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or kiss,
And you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their
one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today, whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them and that you'll always hold them
dear. Take the time to say "I'm sorry" "please forgive me" "thank you"
or "It's ok." And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets
about today.

Count your blessings instead of your crosses;
Count your gains instead of your losses.
Count your joys instead of your woes;
Count your friends instead of your foes.
Count your smiles instead of your tears;
Count your courage instead of your fears.
Count your full years instead of your lean;
Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.
Count your health instead of your wealth;
Count on God instead of yourself.

#1. Your thumb is nearest to you. So begin your prayers by praying for those closest to you. They are the easiest to remember. To pray for our loved ones is, as C.S. Lewis once said, a "sweet duty."
#2. The next finger is the pointing finger. Pray for those who teach, instruct and heal. This includes teachers, doctors, and ministers. They need support and wisdom in pointing others in the right direction. Keep them in your prayers.
#3. The next finger is the tallest finger. It reminds us of our leaders. Pray for the president, leaders in business and industry and administrators. These people shape our nation and guide public opinion. They need God's guidance.
#4. The fourth finger is our ring finger. Surprising to many is the fact that this is our weakest finger, as any piano teacher will testify. It should remind us to pray for those who are weak, in trouble or in pain. They need your prayers day and night. You cannot pray too much for them.
#5. And lastly comes our little finger--the smallest finger of all--which is where we should place ourselves in relation to God and others. As the Bible says, "the least shall be the greatest among you." Your pinky should remind you to pray for yourself. By the time you have prayed for the other four groups, your own needs will be put into proper perspective and you will be able to pray for yourself more effectively.
