On Angel's Wings

Children’s voices sweet and clear, charm the guardian angel’s ear. In this case, charm could be acceptable but would not have been my choice of words. How sweet is this card though, and what about being at church and having and angel playing the organ for you? I would love that!

Maybe, they are singing Angels We Have Heard On High, there probably are many angel musicians and singers, in church, and performing and even with as we sing. We may not see them but it is so nice to know they are there. I hope you are enjoying these lovely old Victorian Christmas cards as much as do.

Kneeling angels who inspire,

Kneeling angels from the choir.

Lovely angels sing so sweet,

Worship at the Savior’s feet.

Sing Christmas carols and a hymn.

We are sure to be blessed by them.

Sing for all to hear,

Fill our hearts with Christmas cheer.

Sing, and stars will shine over the earth.

Sing about His glorious birth.

Kneeling angels, it is our prayer.

Kneeling angels, sing His joy everywhere.

The little Prince of Peace with his mother and Joseph, and an angel kneeling in adoration is a perfect Christmas card. And also the lamb, as one day He would be the perfect Lamb of God slain from the foundation of the world. And now we are the beneficiaries of His will and testament, the Isaiah 53 passage fulfilled.

Isaiah ws looking ahead saying by His stripes or wounds we are healed but 1 Peter 2:24 says were. he has already paid a high price, if we can believe that love. His healing power is still there. Praying for a healthy and Merry Christmas.

Sleep in heavenly peace. Is that even possible? It really is. I know, I had to learn to rest in His love and receive His peace.

In peace will I lie down and sleep for you alone O Lord, make to dwell in safety. Psalm 4:8

When you lie down you will not be afraid, when you lie down your sleep will be sweet. Proverbs 3:24

He will keep you in perfect peace if your mind is stayed ( focused ) on Him. Isaiah 26:3

Sleep well,

I trimmed this one from Pinterest a little but isn’t it beautiful, the guardian angel hovers over the children, who have perhaps lost their way home because of the snow.  May angels guide us to Jesus the is Christmas, and all year.

Christmas is a good time to read with your family, Luke 2, A Christmas Carol and Twas the Night Before Christmas, and even my stories on Writers and Roses.

A Christmas angel, full of cheer.

Robed in red, and gold.

So bright and bold.

A blessing for the New Year.

She brings His light,

She shines with His love.

The Christmas angel, a delight.

And roses from our Lord in hand.

He above all will, understand.

As we celebrate and rejoice,

In His birth.

His Spirit is ever present,

With us as believers, here on earth.

What beauty is His grace,

Our salvation so dear.

And a Christmas angel is always,

Likely to appear.

“St. Michael Triumphant” by Dosso Dossi, ca. 1562. St. Michael’s victory over the dragon in Revelation 12:7-9 is closely tied to Isaiah’s prophecy in Isaiah 27. Although he was kicked out of heaven in to our atmosphere, he will again be defeated and thrown into the lake of fire, soon after the Great Tribulation.

I have to say I rather enjoyed looking at all the paintings, sculptures and art of St Michael crushing him as the Lord’s archangel. I was reading about the feast of the archangel Michael and thought we might find it interesting as Christians, Catholic of not. We should have one goal to see people saved and that enemy defeated so we can be forever with our Lord.

Michaelmas, the feast day is observed on September 29-30. It was tradition to have goose for dinner. Also tradition  has it as when expelled Lucifer from heaven and the fell in a blackberry bush, so that is the last pie of the season as the devil made them unfit, but that could be merely speculation or folklore, from the British Isles to Ireland.

Workers often had to find new employment, as to being hired in the fields. There was also cake, nuts and daisies are the flower of choice. Children are encouraged to face their on fears or dragons with faith, a strong will as opposed to being strong willed and opposition all.

There is a red mass held to bless lawyers and judges and because. St. Michael is the patron saint of police men and women, there is also a blue mass. It also come with the equinox, which I find interesting, like the last quarter of the year, perhaps even a final harvest. We could be that close. Though it was the church’s idea to lure away pagans and there are many celebrations and different religions at this time, I don’t think the Lord minds us knowing a little history. And although I don’t tend to think of angels as saints, I appreciate that they are there to do battle.

And I’m sure he won’t mind a good dinner, a blessing, prayers for those in authority and who are protecting us, nor that we are mindful of the harvest and the work of His holy angels, and that Michael is at the head of the spiritual battle and will return with Him for His church, before the Great Tribulation.
