KISSES FROM HEAVEN

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 released when we share these beautiful happenings. 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 waiting around to be thanked. Their purpose is to always direct thanks to God.

Then, we have our little kisses from heaven as pictured here at the right>

Look at it for a moment and you will see a beautiful image of The Blessed Mother, holding out her right arm to a prayerful woman who is on her knees. See it? Magnificent, isn't it? This my friends is the result of a wax candle burning down during one of our Women's Rosary Breakfast's last year. There were about 25 women present and after reciting the rosary, one of the women let out a gasp, "Oh my...look at that candle!" We all turned in amazement and thanked God for such a lovely blessing. Was it just a little kiss from heaven? A reassuring sign from God and His holy mother that they heard our prayers? Well, we all surely did take it at that. A moment we will never forget. I still have this blessed image on my bureau, taking the greatest care to keep it intact to share when the time is right. And, if perhaps it did melt down someday...the image will always remain in our hearts, bringing inspiration with every thought.
