Angel Stories We love to get stories from our
customers and Willow Tree friends. If you have an angel story you would
like to share with us, use our contact form
to submit it. Please use the subject "Angel Story" and include the story
and the title for the story in the form. Please do not submit articles
that come from other websites or stories that may be copyrighted, such
as magazine articles, unless you provide the source for the article. If
we like it, we will ask permission to post it here.
The story can be "loosely" related to angels. Stories
can be funny, heartwarming or informative. Got a favorite recipe that
uses angel hair pasta? That would be fine too. Feel free to
submit your angel story to us and our crack
panel of judges will review it for inclusion on this page.

Angels: What are they?
|
They are among the unseen in "all that is, seen and unseen" that the Nicene Creed says the Father made them. They exist to praise God and bear the message and task for which God sends them. And they appear to people of all religions, or even of no religion at all, when God wants them to listen.
People from many times and cultures (even those who are not Christian, Jewish, Mormon, or Moslem) insist that angels have another task : that of protecting people. The philosopher Philo described their protective role. Scripture doesn't say much about this role of "guardian angel". Psalm 34:7 is the clearest example; also the angel for each of the Asia Minor churches in Revelation. Jesus speaks of children as having their own angels. In Acts 12:15, the people at John Mark's mother's house thought their servant was seeing Peter's assigned angel at the doorway, when it was really Peter who had just escaped jail, thanks to help from an angel. Whether the jailbreaking angel really was 'assigned' to Peter (as they thought) or a different angel assigned just to the task is not said. Thomas Aquinas insisted that God gave everyone their own guardian angel.
