Garden Rosary Breakfast

We had such a beautiful and peace filled morning at our Garden Rosary Breakfast. We were blessed with abundant sunshine, chirping birds, perfect shaded areas, great company and of course delicious food! As you can see from the lovely photo of Our Lady of Lourdes, it was a morning full of blessings!


I also want to announce our first place winner in our Angel Story Contest! It was such fun reading through all of these wonderful stories! Our first place winner is Pearl Martino of Northboro, Mass. I plan on writing more but I want you to read her awesome story!!! Enjoy!

Here is it....
A couple of summer's ago I was at the beach in RI where I love to go and walk & pray. This particular day I had worn my jewelry to the beach rather than leaving it at home.I was sitting reading and then decided to take my walk, get my feet wet and cool down. I took my 3 rings off and put them in my lap as I applied more sunscreen. (You already know what comes next I bet!)I stood up and began to walk away from my chair(not getting too far away ). I repositioned my watch and braclet on either wrist and went to reposition my rings ( a little habit I have) and much to my dismay - no rings!!!!!!I turned right around in an absolute panick and thought I retraced my steps - but no rings were to be found. The weight of them had made them sink into the sand already! I started to cry and pray to St. Anthony, the Blessed Mother, Jesus and all the angels and the saints out loud. No one on the beach around where I was sitting seemed to notice what I was doing.All of a sudden, out of the corner of my eye was a middle-aged man with a metal-detector scanning the beach for lost metal articles.Now, what were the chances that that man would be on that same beach the day that I lost my rings. Divine intervention I would say!Our eyes met and he asked me what happened. I explained and he very calmly went to my beach chair and within a few seconds ( which seemed like an hour to me) found the rings.Again, I started to cry. I had gone to the beach with just my car keys and license - I had no money with me. I explained I didn't have any money but could I please have his name and address and I would be more than happy to send him a reward for what he did for me. He said "no need ma'am, the look on your face and your tears of joy is my reward". I hugged him and blessed him as he began to walk away from me. It seemed like he was gone as quickly as he showed up. I had to sit down for awhile before I could take my walk as my whole body shook with relief and joy. My husband & I were about to celebrate our 35 wedding anniversary and the thought of not having my sentimental jewelry was more than I could bear. But fear not - there they were safe and sound back on my fingers again. Great Story!!!!

I'll be back....

HAVE YOU HAD AN ANGEL CONNECTION?

I'm so excited to know that I've had well over 500 people reading my newly created blog. It is amazing to realize that people have clicked on from across the world!

We've covered territory from the east coast to the west coast, on to Canada, England, Germany, Sweden, Australia, Argentina, China, Japan, Indonesia, Hawaii, Taiwan, Singapore, India, Columbia, Brazil...the list goes on and on. What a wonderful way to spread God's love, faith and hope! Thanks for clicking on!

SHARING ANGEL STORIES...A BEAUTIFUL WAY TO SEND PEACE, COMFORT AND HOPE AROUND THE WORLD! JOIN US AND KEEP THE CONNECTION GOING...

Recently, I've had many requests by viewers and regular customers of The Angel Connection to set up a site where angel stories can be shared. I've decided to do something with a fun little twist. I'm holding a contest with entry deadline date of August 15th. Here we'll share unique and true angel stories of special encounters with God's heavenly messengers.

If your story is chosen for publication, you will be awarded 10% off your next purchase at The Angel Connection. I am in the process of adding inventory to my web-site which will be available for purchase very soon. Unique gifts, angel jewelry, bracelets, medals, earrings, fluffy scented angel dolls, angel sun catchers and a full line of religious articles for you to choose from will be available on line through Paypal.

AND SO IT GOES...
Many of us have had heavenly encounters that have touched us deeply but are kept tucked away in the silence of our hearts for one reason or another. Such joy is created when we truly realize that heavenly messengers exist and have been put on this earth for our own sake. Think about the Angel of God Prayer and its meaning and recite it often...

Angel of God, my guardian dear (Yes, you do have a guardian angel!)
To Whom God's love commits me here (God's love makes this possible)
Ever this day be at my side ( Our guardian is by our side every moment)
To light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen (Bringing God's light, guidance &
protection)

Scripture tells us that the holy angels harken to the word of God. Angels are God's messengers. They come to help people through times of pain, suffering or hardship bringing words of encouragement and hope. They never mean to bring attention to themselves. As a matter of fact, they are known to do what they are sent to do and then suddenly disappear rather than wait around to be thanked. Their purpose is to always direct thanks to God.

If you decide this is for you, take a few moments and search your heart for a story you'd like to share. Please send your writing to my personal email address at Faithful1111@aol.com. Limit your length to one page please, if possible. I'll be accepting entries until August 15th and then announce the first place winner the following week. I'll be looking forward to hearing from you!

Until then, May God's holy angels surround you with love, joy, hope and protection!
Blessings to you!
