The holiday season is filled with beautiful sights, scenes and colors. Share with me the sounds, senses, feelings and warmth of the season. let's pretend we're all on a sleigh riding through the open countryside, singing carols, bundled up warmly, smiling, and sharing with each other. (I've never done that myself, but I can in my dreams.) Open your hearts to the beauty around you and know you are never alone in the world.

"God and all angels sing the world to sleep, now that the moon is rising in the heat and crickets are loud again in the grass. The moon burns in the mid on lost remebrances." Wallace Stevens, "The Men That are Falling" Editor's Note -Even though we may be alone this year during the holiday season, we must remember and cherish our memories of previous holiday seasons, for they are with us in our memories ALWAYS.

"Angels are intelligent reflections of light, that original light which has no beginning. They can illuminate. They do not need tongues or ears, for they can communicate without speech, in thought." John of Damascus

"Her angel's face is a great eye of heaven shined bright, and made a sunshine in the shady place." Edmund Spenser, The Faerie Queene

"We may not be aware of the presence of angels. We can't always predict how they will appear. But angels have been said to be our neighbors. Often may be our companions without our being aware of their presence." Billy Graham, Angels: God's Secret Agents

"If you find it impossible to pray, hide behind your good angel and charge him to pray in your stead." St. John Vianney

"Every visible thing in this world is put in the charge of an angel." St. Augustine

"When tempted, invoke your angel. He is more eager to help you than you are to be helped! Ignore the devil and do not be afraid of him; he trembles and flees at your guardian angel's sight." St. John Bosco

"At dusk three angels come down from the sky to every house, one stands at the door, another sits at the table, and a third watches over the bed. They look after the house and protect it. Neither wolves nor evil spirits can enter the whole night long." Carlo Levi

"Angels and ministers of grace defend us!"William Shakespeare, Hamlet

"The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels."Psalm 68:17
