Greetings Knowflakes....An era is coming to a close, Touched By An Angel is airing their final two episodes next weekend.
Though some people find its message a little sappy-sweet, I think the message that God Loves us is an important one for the world, particularly now in this time of war, child abuse, homelessness and other assorted indignities that we have allowed to run rampant on our planet.
Not only do the angels remind us that God does truly love us... (We are all aspects of God); but that we are never truly alone, our angels are always with us, waiting to offer us support, guidance and love, if we would but be open to accept it!
In one particular episode, the 100th to be exact, Wynonna's character sang this song as her child lay dying from cystic fibrosis. The song is called Testify to Love, in the show they called it The 151st Psalm, and I would like to offer it as a fond farewell to a show that has touched many hearts and lives...
Testify to Love
All the colors of the rainbow
All the voices of the wind
Every dream that reaches out
That reaches out to find where love begins
Every word of every story
Every star in every sky
Every corner of creation lives to testify
(Chorus)
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences
when words are not enough
With every breath I take
I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
From the mountains to the valleys
From the rivers to the sea
Every hand that reaches out
Every hand that reaches out to offer peace
Every simple act of mercy
Every step to kingdom come
All the hope in every heart will speak
what love has done
(Chorus)
It is my sincere wish that every knowflake shall find their lives Touched By an Angel... and that they will realize that sometimes we are the Angels that God has sent to help and guide others.
As Linda was so fond of quoting:
"Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unawares."
In point of fact... God has sent us nothing but angels...
Blessed Be...
