Tonight I watched "Touched By An Angel." I haven't watched that show in years, but it caught my eye while flipping channels for a moment.
It was a show about a drug addict that had a baby and Monica and Andrew worked to help her get clean. Being television it all worked out just in time and just fine on screen. It really was a good story. I miss the gentle kindness of the show and inviting it into our lives each night.
I remember so well watching "Touched By An Angel" and "Highway To Heaven" with my mom and dad. They loved the storyline with angels walking among us, helping and interacting, directing our paths when needed. My mom thoroughly enjoyed the shows for years. We would talk about the episode and then how it related to the bible and real life. Sure, a lot of it was fiction, but it was a good clean show with a heart and you don't see many of those anymore.
So tonight, just for a moment, I was touched by another angel. I felt the presence of my mom come and sit down on the couch beside me and share in a memory. It was just a moment, but I am thankful for it just the same. It made me smile and I love memories that do that.
Take a moment today to remember some of the good memories you've shared. It's good to appreciate where we come from, it's better to then live in the moment and enjoy the things we have and the people in our lives. Life a gift, don't take it for granted, enjoy every bit of it.
Yesterday would have been my mom's 73rd birthday and I was thinking how much I missed her. So the timing of seeing your blog this morning is divine. My mom collected angels and gave them as gifts to everyone so I know she led me to your site today to let me know she is ok and so am I. Thank you for letting me sit with her today.
