Angels

"People see God every day, they just don't recognize him." - Pearl Bailey

I collect obsessions the way I collect lists and people to love- in abundance and without caring that I may have to let it or them go.

I haven't started collecting  figurines or anything but I’m currently obsessed with angels.

I've noticed that they are everywhere!  I hadn’t been looking closely but once my eyes were opened, once I realized that angels, God’s messengers, are everywhere- I became obsessed.  People say it all the time (that angels are everywhere) but I hadn’t really seen them.  Really seen them. 

I don’t mean I’ve had a visitation or anything like that.  I’m only saying- I KNOW I’VE SEEN ANGELS IN ACTION.

After I saw, I began to hunt.

Today I’m wondering if I should keep my angel hunts going or if I’m supposed to allow the angels to reveal themselves. 

My obsession began after there was one revelation of an angelic being followed by several more(I'll tell you later- I promise)on three consecutive days… now I’m always looking; hunting.  When I smell a good deed my eyes open wider.  Is that an angel or a regular do gooder?

Hmmm...

Angel hunting is exhausting but it puts a whole new spin on people watching and observation.  Get into it if you dare.

Dear God, Thank you for everything.  Thank you for angels.  Your child, Metch

What?  Is my brief thank you note to God too much?  Your answer to that isn't  important... what I really want to know is- have you ever seen an angel?
