Embrace & Celebrate the Angels in Your Life

Recently, I have been painting angels...I have been inspired by readings and also art work by other artists on this subject. Of course, we all know that when the brush meets the canvas, your own style is created. The theme of my Trinkets' 21st Century classes this year is...surprise...angels! We are just getting organized and starting to work on our portfolios for the fall. In the meantime, I would like to share some information on the topic of angels...

What are angels?    Angels and archangels are present in all religions. The origin of the word, "angels", is from the Greek word angelos which means, "God's messenger."  The ending "el", contained in all the angelic names (e.g.Michael, Raphael, etc.) means "like God" in Hebrew. Angels operate at God's right hand. They are genderless...but, their energy may be soft (Chamuel) or strong (Michael).

Angels have no material body so they can freely move through time and space creating "miracles" with ease. Angels are immortal which, however, does not mean their lives are endless. Their existence depends on God's will.

"You are most open to God when your heart is wide open, & your mind is settled & worry-free."
