TUNED IN TO GOD'S ANGELS

BY WENDY MANKER

Almost every day, I'm reminded of something my mother would say when I was growing up: "Listen for an angel thought each day. God is sending it." Sometimes at night, before going to sleep, I'll think, "What angel thoughts did I get today?"

Someone may ask, "How do you know if you're getting an angel thought? And what exactly are angels, anyway?"

I would say that Science and Health has a spiritually solid way to describe angels as "God's thoughts passing to man" (p. 581). And I've found that those "thoughts" don't necessarily come in words; sometimes they're feelings you get in your heart. One thing's for sure—they're always good and loving. I've found an angel thought, or message, can even be a simple, comforting feeling that everything is OK, right now.
