Footsteps In The Sky
     There is an angel in the host of heavens so giving and so loving that she chose to help 
 others live their lives on Earth in the best way; she became a Guardian. In this role she could 
 share in people's triumphs and trials alike connected by the deepest spiritual and loving way 
 even if her presence wasn't fully known. She is able to love unconditionally and  give wholly 
 of herself to those who were in her charge. 
    Of the people she looks over, in fact the ones she is caring for at this very moment, 
 are so good, so giving and so loving like herself that the angel wanted to make her presence 
 known to them and show them to what measure their love is bringing light and joy into the 
 world. The spiritual bond is ever present, but sometimes not consciously known.
     While in angelic form, guardians share every emotion, every concern, every joy and 
 sorrow of those in their charge. They smile down with understanding and unconditional love.
 However, there is no reaffirmation of a concrete form, which people sometimes need to give 
 them strength, courage, and confidence. This is a condition to be decided by the angel: come 
 to Earth in physical form and resign the role of Guardian or remain in angelic form but without
 physical contact. She felt these people were so deserving that she decided to give to them in 
 such a way that they could learn how much good they have brought to life and she could still 
 remain their Guardian .
    And so she came to share the house of her charge. As is the course of Nature, the 
 house shared became two houses, a body within a body and for many months the bond was
 stronger than ever between the angel and her people. 
    When the time came for the two to part ways, the angel knew she had to return to the
 heavens and she smiled and understood with love and benevolence. So as she left, she made
 sure there was a way to remember the gift and her time spent and left her mark on Earth so
 that the memory would not fade over time. 
     The people thought the events as a tragedy for they did not understand why their 
 newborn child was taken from them. Their friends and family all came and gave their love 
 and support which gave strength to the people who had begun to heal and someday to 
 understand the mysterious ways that God does His work. 
    The house had served its purpose and the angel smiled again from the Heavens seeing 
 friends and family come together. And as she reflected on the gift she had bestowed, her Light
  shined brighter as her love grew ever more. 
     In fact, you can see her shining if you just know where to look...
