About encouragement..

Extracted from The Seven Levels of Intimacy by Matthew Kelly:

**
There is a saying in the Talmud: "Every blade of grass has its angel that bends over it and whispers, 'Grow, grow'". That is what I hope to be to the people I love: an angel of encouragement. That is what I hope the seven levels of intimacy will be for you: an angel of encouragement. That is what I hope you will be to others: an angel of encouragement.

From time to time, we all need to be encouraged. It is encouragement from those we love that gives us courage when we were afraid, hope when we are in despair, light when it appears that darkness will prevail, faith when we are consumed by doubt, joy when it seems that sorrow has overcome us, and peace when unrest holds our hearts hostage.

Are we angels of encouragement to our loved ones?

I know that I have angels of encouragement around me. My parents for sure. My good friend HH. She told me one day, that she believes strongly that everyone has a guardian angel. Little does she know that she is already one to others :)
