Saints & Angels! Oh! Yeah!


Quality!

 
Ah! The saints among us! Angels, too!

     Tests of tragic consequence descend upon human-kind, faithful, skeptic, atheist alike; no one gets a “hall pass”; amazing how some search out “trouble”. No need: It’ll find you.
     The value of the “taste” taught, as they tend to say: Is in the pudding! (A mixed metaphor?)
     How? One handles adversity, regardless of intensity of quality or quantity, determines outcome which is the resultant virtue assessed to golden character achieved from such evil intent.
     And, the affliction need not be directed at self, though it certainly can be purposeful in attack, any evil-intent upon any fellow man can elicit the proper How? Of defeating the proposition. To wit: a pernicious demon malignancy attack upon another witnessed by a Christian “saintly” type.
     When our family was recently devastated with news of a horrible medical diagnosis, many prayed, all voiced proper “concern”, some worried, a few feared, tears were shed; one victim suffered directly, many felt his pain; all of that “Good”, expected, expressed, observed. “Saintly” people! Yes! Of a “higher” level of “Spiritual development”, the afflicted patient was reported to have retained his “smile” through it all. Good show! You Rock! Doug! God bless!
     “Saints” among us! “Angels”, too! Indeed! Amen!
     But, one other took that extra-special step volunteering his own physical aid to the sufferer.
     Without a single instant of hesitation, selfless-Love said, “I’ll be the donor!” Amen! Saint!
     Heroes need no acclimation; nobody ever knew the name of The Lone Ranger.
     Still: Thank you! Sir Adam! Bravo! I noticed. Only that I might be so brave a Christian-“saint” as thee if called upon one day! Humbly, I pray! For my journey on a trace of “Spiritual development” only to commence.
     My spirit-friend, Michael, approaches the third anniversary of his untimely death June 26. Somewhere in our seventeen year spiritual-relationship I quipped a “knowing” which has come to positively-haunt my spirit-psyche in undefiled understanding. If ever I have uttered a single word of intelligent content, that disclosure, enlightened through Holy Spirit Grace, be it.
     “The difference in people is their level of spiritual development!” Wow! There it is! All of it!
     And, my friend, there you have it---Indeed! And, blessed I? Surrounded by these sacred gifts:
     The very saints among us! Angels, too!

Saints---Deep Faith!/ Angels---Perfect Love!
Some display both with Grace from above

All we have to offer is Good toward each other
The very best gift bestowed is Love to one another

Amen!
