When my children were babies, they would often interact with someone not present in the room. They would look at one spot and giggle and coo like someone was tickling them or making funny faces. When my youngest was old enough to talk, I asked him,
"Do the angels talk to you?"
"Yes," he said.
"What do they say?" I asked.
He leaned in and whispered in my ear, "God Yuves Me."
I believe spirituality comes naturally to children. They are quick to believe in things that aren't seen. This became very evident when reading a little book titled "Angels at My Door". It was written and illustrated by children who have been directly impacted by AIDS. Deborah Jung, co-author and founder of "Kids Who Care" a non-profit theatre group, says that children, regardless of circumstances, believe in angels. "There was no question in their minds that angels exist" says Jung. "Some of the kids focused on a traditional, heavenly kind of angel, but most of them shared or wrote about angels with feet and flesh -- people in their lives who provided them with inspiration, help and hope."
Taylor was fifteen when she wrote the following:
"My Angel. She's fighting a battle. She is very pretty with her charcoal black hair and her honey brown eyes. She has the most beautiful caramel color skin I have ever seen. She is my Angel and she is going to win this battle."
Faith in the unseen. Faith in the notion of hope. Faith in the presence of angels. Look into the soul of a child, and you will see that angels really are in our midst.
"Each angel walked through the door with a grace that became a part of me. And so we lived together from that time on; each angel, each blessing, each grace. And healing began where I needed it most. In my soul." (Angels at my Door, 2008)
