On Angel's Wings

This is a lovely mother and daughter and above them the Merry Christmas angel. If anyone recognizes the flags, leave a comment. I do believe the translation to be Good Yule or Merry Christmas. I t make you wonder if it is Christmas even and she is saying goodnight, waitin to see what Christmas brings.

This card is very old. I was able to clean up the angel wing which had been either stamped or written on or perhaps, just worn. The signature is visible but not legible. It is so much of a reward to save these old treasures, and to enjoy them a hundred or more years later.

A sweet angel watches over them and sure they are blessed, from whatever era or country, may angels surround us this year with His peace and joy.

What a wonderful winter scene and a quartet of lovely angels against a dark blue starry sky. The sleeveless angels are not given to cold weather as they rehearse for the choir, they might even sing, “……walking in a winter wonderland, it could be a scene from anywhere in the world.

Isn’t she lovely? A beautiful angel singing above a home or little church, perhaps. It is not so easy to make it out. A dark wintry background, just sets her off as she sing a Christmas song for those who are arriving. They are not even aware of her presence but she sing praises to the Lord.

It could even be a manger scene, it does appear that some have either been seated of kneeling, so it probably is a church. I wonder what the choir is singing. It may be the same carol.

What a lovely German postcard, probably from 1900 or so, look at the short pants, it could be even earlier. He is delighted to see an angel bringing him a toy horse, and a drum, also a military helmet. Look at the point.

God Jule is pronounced with that gutteral sound not like we say God, it is rather, good yule or Merry Christmas. The bottom phrase is illegible, if I am wrong about the language please let me know.

What a lovely church bell angel. It reminded me of the verse in the Bible that says today is the day of salvation. It truly is and what better way to hear His voice that proclaims healing and deliverance, as melodic as any church bell. He is our only hope of salvation and as I tell people, He saves us continually from something even if you are a believer.

Today when you hear His voice, don’t harden your hearts as Israel did when they rebelled. Hebrews 3:15

I pray you hear His voice and receive Him as Lord, and if you are a believe I pray He calls your name and that you know how much you are loved and ask Him for the gift of His presence.

I really love this one, her hands folded in prayer, what a lovely little Christmas Girl and an angel. He gown is a gorgeous color too, a coral or peach. I was amazed to find so many beautiful cards, I am so glad that they were saved for posterity. Someone probably saved them in a box somewhere.

It would have so nice to have received one back then. And it is so nice we have a way to share them and preserve them now. I hope you are enjoying them, there are more on my Pinterest boards.

Isn’t she a slice right out of heaven? Lovely red hair and fair skin, crowned with a wreath. She too, as many of our other featured angels is holding on to toys for children at Christmas. It appears she may be dropping them whether on purpose down a chimney, or through a window, even a donation box, or just that she will have to reach down and catch them in her wing, perhaps.

This is another lovely example or the artistry of the Victorian Era or even a bit later. I had to crop it a little because the corners had been rounded off, she would be  lovely on a Christmas card or even as print, taking off the Merry Christmas, she would fit well into a nursery or playroom. Children and adults need to be reminded that angels are all around  and not just at Christmas, but a promise to believers in Christ.

Isn’t she cute in the little dress with a big pink bow? I was so surprised to see so many angels giving gifts on all these old cards, but why should I be? God gives good gifts and His angels always travel with the Holy Spirit. Though they may not all be tangible gifts, they are all more precious from Him. Who wouldn’t like to have an angel drop in with a gift, perhaps, this year.

How lovely a midnight angel to sing over us and God’s creation. As we celebrate this year and give Him our cares, allowing God to fight the battles, let us sing wonderful carols and hymns of praise.

What a pretty angel in a coral gown winging her way to a small town or perhaps the little church to bring a Christmas tree. And angels are all around, there are still shepherds in many places and then there are all of us who have followed the glorious star to become wiser by seeking the Prince of Peace.
