Thankful Thursday - Angels

Today is the Memorial of the Guardian Angels.  I am so very thankful for angels, especially my guardian angel.  One of my favorite prayers:
Angel of God, my guardian dear
To whom God's love commits me here,
Ever this day, be at my side
To light, to guard, to rule and guide.
Amen.
I can remember sitting on the steps, saying this prayer, before racing up to bed.  This is still my bedtime prayer of choice, and it gives me comfort to know I'm not alone.  My guardian angel has interceded for me many times, and has protected me many more.  Her vehicle of choice is a dark pickup (if you want to know more, just ask).  Most of all, she seeks to bring my soul to Heaven.  I am in total agreement with that goal, so I think we make a good team.  

                                 

I have always loved the image of the Guardian Angel watching over the children.  At all times, help is near, whether we acknowledge it or not.  God loves each of us so much, that we are gifted with an angel to help us.  What a beautiful gift!

Prayer - Lord, thank you for the gift of my guardian angel.  Help me to follow their lead so that I may always keep You in the center of my life.  Thank you for the protection of my angel.  May I be open to their guidance and nudging, so that one day they may escort my soul to You.
