At Christmas Angels Abound

If my house has a theme...

Angels on the walls

Angels on the window sill

 Angels in the curios

Angels on the trees

Angels on the sofa table

Angels on the sofa

Angels as tree toppers

 

Angels in the dining room

Angels dancing on the sideboard

Angels on the mantle

Angels above the computer desk

Angels in the creche

Angels on the outside

Angels to watch over me at night

Angels abound at Christmas and all year round

Christmas Angel

My aunt brought over this painting for me yesterday.  Can you see the Christmas tree over on the right side of the photo?  This is my Christmas angel.  Michelle was born one late Christmas Eve.  On Christmas Day we found out she had a severe, complex congenital heart defect.  I had 5 1/2 wonderful years with her.  Today is the anniversary of her passing.

After she died, Christmas was a bittersweet time for me.  I grieved deeply as one does after the loss of a beloved child.  As the healing began, I embraced Christmas - the birth of our Savior and as  the celebration of her life. 

Yes, I am still sad.

Yes, I still miss her.

Our Savior was born so that none will die.

All who believe will know everlasting life!

And I rejoice that my Christmas angel waits for me...
