ANGEL GIFTS

Angel gifts come to us in myriad forms. I've recently found some wonderful Angel Cards that I plan to share with you both here and via my Facebook page. Here is the thought (from Chrissie Astell) for today: 'Humans must be known to be loved, angels must be loved to be known.

When we love and are being loved our souls sing. We are nourished and whole. Loving others is easy, but in order to love unconditionally we must first learn to love ourselves. Loving is an expression of kindness, of communicating from the heart and of compassion. Learn to give the gift of love to yourself.

Think of a quality you deeply admire, one you would attribute to an angel. Visualize that quality in the form of a flower bud and in your imagination carry it to your very core. Now look at the flower and admire it, appreciate its perfection. Remembering those qualities, recognise that you, too, have these attributes. Acknowledge and respect yourself for that.

Recognizing that your soul contains perfection, allow yourself to love it. Your soul has the qualities of an angel. As you begin to know yourself, you will learn how to love yourself.'
