Speaking of angels.
The elders use to say that your guardian angel’s birthday is 40 days after you were christened, don’t know what the elders say in other religions, but I think we all have have one regardless of any religion. I know when I was born but not the date of my christening, that’s handy, never had to buy him/her/it a present, anyway what would you get? an CD of Paul McCartney and ‘Wings’
I always fancied my guardian angel to be a beautiful slim middle aged woman, not an inexperienced young dumb blond, experience is essential for the job, I don’t think I’d like to have a fella looking after me.
I imagine guardian angels to be related spirits, members of our deceased family who are assigned the job of protecting a living member of the family, whether that be as punishment because of some wrong doing while on earth, or as training for a promotion in the great beyond.
To me they are the ones who whisper in your ear when you have to make important decisions, they prod you into helping a beggar on the street with a few coins, tell you not to have that extra pint, when are you going to stop smoking, (I’m still waiting for the smokes to kill me, who said smokers die young) and stuff like that. On the other hand they could be you from a past life trying to help you not to make the same mistakes again, who knows, but I’m sure we are not alone as we walk through this life.
Whoever or whatever mine is it hasn’t failed me yet, after several scrapes with the grim reaper I’m still all in one piece. Yes I do believe in guardian angels, although I’d rather think of them as guardian spirits.
