Sitting Next to Angels

Often churches have empty seats but are these really empty? Is there someone sitting next to you? Could it be your guardian angel? Perhaps it's not only churches where empty seats are occupied by your guardian angels. Have you ever sat down in a chair and felt a sudden breeze or chill blowing cold against your heated cheeks when the whole room is warm or felt your car rock on a windy day? We all go on our busy lives concentrating on what we are doing or think we must do. We don't take notice of everything around us especially anything unusual or extraordinary. Christians, Muslims, Buddhists and Jews believe there are guardian angels that watch over you and may also guide you. In the catholic catechism it says that, 'From infancy to death all human life is surrounded by the watchful care and intercession of angels.' Angels have been around long before human souls existed, supervised by archangels and activated by God. Some people believe we always have access to angels. All we have to do is ask. There are millions upon millions of angels all around us, but many have a local presence. They will influence your senses and imagination, but not your will and remain with you even in heaven and may even be sitting right next to you right now.

A story that embraces our different appearances or physical deformities as something that all should accept in nature's realm. New attributes can come to the forefront which would never have been seen before. It's not what we look like. Nature has moulded unimaginable forms which through mistakes or accidents may undermine what we think is the norm. Disability should not be seen as a hindrance. Resourcefulness and determination can outshine any handicap. You are yourself, you are you and nothing or nobody is going to change it. You have the right, just as every creature on this earth has, to exist and be who you are. This story is about a little fruit fly born with shrivelled short wings. Unlike the other flies he cannot fly away and is vulnerable to being ridiculed or eaten by other creatures. While living on a plum in a farmer's field he is subjected to abuse by various insects but manages to overcome this and survive through winter.
