Where are the Angels?

Have you ever wondered what an angel is? It's my belief that angels are really human beings committing random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty. I'm always amazed at some of the things that people do for me, sometimes without me even asking for it. There are some people out there who have an uncanny sixth sense where they can detect positive intentions and sincerity. I don't know how they do it, it just seems like they can peer into your soul. Those are the people who make you feel better just by being around them. Normally you don't even need to engage conversation with them, it's just a powerful and vibrant vibe that generates from them.

So what happens with me is that I'm hustling and bustling, attempting to take advantage of all that the Almighty has put before me. In the process I'm stumbling also, because I'm more like Clark Kent than Superman. At those moments when I stumble it seems like an angel always appears and does a good deed for me, asking for nothing in return. As usual, I end up thanking that person profusely because it's as if your life has been saved. But what's really interesting is that those types of people don't live for thank yous. What they really want is to see you "take it and run with it", which is whatever gift they have bestowed upon you, whatever door they opened for you, et cetera. They want to know their generosity has not been wasted and thrown into the trash. So, then it becomes my responsibility to step up to the plate and make sure that person is not disappointed. I gotta be a man and do the right thing.

Therefore, I have a challenge for you. Be an angel in someone's life! Be that emissary from the Almighty that brings joy or opportunity or education or elucidation to someone else in need, asking for nothing in return. Of course, your reward will certainly come, there's no doubt about it. Call it karma, call it paying it forward, call it whatever you want, it's all a part of the master plan. As a friend of mine would always say, "Dude, you gotta get with the program!"
