Touched by an Angel

This morning I woke up at 2:00 am and turned on my computer to watch some videos. At first I was watching "Charlie's Angels" but I was kind of bored with the episode so I decided to watch an episode of "Touched by an Angel." I have never seen this television show which aired from September 1994 to April 2003 so this early morning was my first time watching it. 

The episode was called "Fear Not" and it took place in a small city during the Christmas season. This is the synopsis of the episode:

When a small town church puts on a Christmas pageant, Serena, a child dying of a heart condition wishes to play the angel. Meanwhile, Monica and Tess (who are real angels) help a man understand his disabled brother Joey's challenges and to teach him kindness and patience. Joey and Serena are best friends who love each other dearly and Joey is devastated to learn that Serena could die soon. At the end of the episode, an audience is in the church watching the Christmas pageant and several miraculous things occur in the final scene, one being Monica turning in the real angel that she is in front of al the people at the Christmas pageant. It's quite profound.



This is a touching episode that everyone should watch during the Christmas season. Check out Season 1, Episode 9 of "TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL" and witness the beauty that happens with ordinary people in a small city.  You will be blessed with courage, hope, and be inspired in the most amazing way.

May your angels be guarding you this Christmas season! Enjoy your moments in December!

Starbucks & Debbie

This afternoon I stopped into a Starbucks and asked for a sample of the new "Blond Roast." I was expecting just a tiny cup sample but instead the barista poured me a generous cup of the "Blond Roast"  and recommended trying it with a few drops of vanilla syrup which I did. What a beautiful moment it was to enter Starbucks wanting to try the new "Blond Roast" and given a generous sample with kindness and warmth by Debbie the barista. STARBUCKS and its customers are very fortunate to have such a shining star employee as Debbie who brightened my day by greeting me with a big smile and friendly "May I help you?" When I asked for a sample she rewarded me with something I just wasn't expecting.  How nice it is to know that every now and then someone can make all the difference in just a few moments. This was the case with the amazing STARBUCKS barista Debbie who deserves high praises for being so awesome. Thank You Starbucks and Thank You D...

The Cows

After attending a lovely morning Christmas service I decided to take a bicycle ride through the countryside. I was on my own and had nobody to spend Christmas with so I just kept paddling on the trail and enjoying the scenery and smell of the fragrant pine trees.  When  I stumbled across cows in the distance I was ecstatic because I love cows, so I turned my bike around and meandered to the pubic road that led to the farm. When I saw two cows in the meadow my face lighted up with joy. The cows saw me and ran to the fence to greet me. For several minutes they just stood there next to me and made me feel so loved and appreciated. I no longer felt alone on Christmas Day. In moments when we feel so alone how assuring it is to know that there are some living creatures to cheer us up. Those two sweet cows I spent time with on a warm Christmas afternoon were beautiful CHRISTMAS moments. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL LIVING CREATURES!

The Penny

Holding down three jobs and always multi-tasking it felt so good to sit down for a few moments in the backyard the other day. I dreamed of easier times when life was more "carefree." Suddenly I noticed a penny on the ground. It hadn't been there before and my inner voice told me to pick it up. I did and was mesmerized with the year engraved on the penny. That year I was blessed with the best carefree summer of my life and the memories flooded my mind of that sweet summer long ago. That penny gave me hope that my guardian angels knew my pain and distraught and assured me that "moments" of happy times will come again someday. "The penny" was my sign of hope that someday there will be carefree moments again. Believe in those little signs that come into your moments of everyday life.
