One sees here and there angels,
some carved in stone,
placed back in shrubbery,
standing there alone,
or perhaps used as an
aid in landscaping,
sitting on a bench,
or a birdbath draping.
But that His helpers are
even closer to us
is eternal, unchanging fact --
a thought most glorious.
"For he shall give his angels
charge over thee,
to keep thee in all thy ways"
in Psalms 91:11 we see.
Holy messengers of His!
How comforting to know
that God accompanies us
wherever we may go.
Yes, we are promised
this in all our ways.
What security this affords,
all our nights and days.
God's angels with us mean
not only daily protection;
but so needful to us all,
certain, timely direction.
And even in those times
when events make us grieve,
these tender helpers of His
our side never, ever leave.
To think, these holy beings
are always at our side,
to bless us immensely,
to comfort, guard and guide.
