Angels are cool. I love to just let my mind go and try to contemplate them. Of course, I am talking about God's angels, not evil angels (demons), they give me the creeps and I do not think good things about them. The verse in Hebrews says that we may entertain angels without even knowing! I think about that a lot! Goes along with what I was talking about the other day with being kind and loving others. Also reminds me of the story of "Beauty and the Beast."( only we don't get turned into a beast, just judged in the end). I sometimes go overboard and think that I can catch them....for instance, I went to wal-mart (imagine that) one day just to pick up a couple of things. I left Audrey with Spence hoping it would be a quick trip. So, I had that wal-mart attitude to avoid everyone, stay focused, and get out. I came to the checkout only to have the chatty cashier, of course, right?! She was that sweet girl that was overboard with peppiness, I got annoyed fast. A few minutes into her compliments and short talk it dawned on me....she could be an angel and I am being rude!! I immediately changed my attitude and enjoyed the last minutes with her, walking out confident that I just met an angel. I get home and tell my husband what I found, he just chuckled. We later had the conversation again only to remind me what the verse said, we don't know that we entertain them and that it was probably my conscious (the holy spirit) that was telling me to be nice. I felt very silly, I really did think I caught one in disguise. I can't wait to really see one! I've been studying a little about them, they are just neat to learn about. They are all around, protecting us, watching, and even disguising themselves. It is overwhelming if you really start thinking about that spiritual warfare going on all around us. I look forward to the day that we too will join in with our Maker and fight for victory!
Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it. Hebrews 13:2

Just a reminder that our attitudes and actions never go unnoticed! I was in walmart the other day and a lady touched me on the back, and I turned around only to see her walking off. It kinda gave me the creeps; and then I was sitting in the store on a bench later, and this same lady just walks up and sits by me. We had a short conversation, then Ashleigh walked up and we left. An angel? Maybe. I think when she touched me she was praying for an opportunity to witness to me, and saw her chance when i was sitting alone. Anyway, kinda random but your post reminded me of it haha. Peace.
oh wow! That's cool!
Maybe angels live in wal-mart instead of libraries ("City of Angels")haha ;)
