Of Animals and Angels

<p>Angels descending bring from above echoes or mercy whispers of love.</p><p>-Fanny J. Crosby</p><p>Angels don't always appear in our lives wearing wings and halos. </p><p>Since the beginning of recorded history humans have found inspiration in tales of benevolent encounters with angelic beings. Angels can manifest in many ways-through the loving gaze of a dog the unexpected warmth of a stranger and even in the awe-inspiring beauty of nature. Whatever form these angelic messages take they leave us feeling loved protected more cognizant of life around us-and sometimes a bit wiser.</p><p>What a blessing this is! </p><p>Author Marguerite Antonio's heart and mind are open to these experiences and here she shares some of her favourite tales. Although the short stories and the characters within <i>Of Animals and Angels</i> are fictitious she has been deeply inspired by the angelic presence in her own life-and its presence in the lives of others who have shared their angel stories with her.</p><p>It is her belief that everyone upon searching and allowing his or her mind and heart to accept this phenomenon will have angel stories to share-and these are some of those stories.</p>
