What do Angels Look Like


Like the little old lady who returned your wallet yesterday.
Like the taxi driver who told you that your eyes light up the world when you smile.
Like the small child who showed you the wonder in simple things.
Like the poor man who offered to share his lunch for you.
Like the rich man who showed you it really is all possible, if you only believe.
Like the stranger who just happened to come along, when you had lost your way.
Like the friend who touched your heart, when you didn't think you had one left to touch.
Angels come in all sizes and shapes, all ages and skin types.
Some with freckles, some with dimples, some with wrinkles, some without.
They come disguides as friends, enemies, teachers, students, lovers and fools.
They don't take life too seriously, they travel light.
They leave no forwarding address, they ask for nothing in return.
They wear sneakers with gossamer wings, they get a deal in dry cleaning.
They are hard to find when your eyes are closed, but they are everywhere you look when you choose to see.

This is a very beautiful inspirational story.  It tells us that angels are everywhere, anywhere.  They can be the beggars, driver, candy seller, security guard in offices/schools, traffic police, trash collector, cable/telephone lineman, nurse, or any stranger and they bring peace, joy and love to everyone.  Our parents, friends, teachers, boss, government officials, and community leaders can also be Angels in our eyes  if we just see them in their hearts not in their physical image.  We could also be Angel to someone, to everyone, if we could just bring peace, joy, and love to our family, our workplace, our school, our community, and to our government then, I believe, nothing is impossible for us to reach and to achieve!!!
