Jan: Hi Angel Annie. What would you
like to share with my readers today? . . .
Angel Annie: I would like to talk about parenthood.
Jan: Great, Annie! I’m a parent myself
and a grandparent, as you know. There are times when we need to
be reminded that there is a solution to EVERY problem a parent
encounters, a spiritual solution. That no matter how tough it
seems, we can always turn to God for the answer.
Angel Annie: Right. Parenthood is especially hard when children rebel. Parents
who know that the Lord loves them both unconditionally, wonder
how He can when THEY have a hard time liking a recalcitrant child
all the time, much less loving them unconditionally.
Jan: I know, Annie. That’s a real
concern for those who are working on having a close connection
with God, but judge their actions as a parent as a reflection
of God’s love for them. Sometimes, that really hurts when we feel
unworthy as parents AND unworthy of God’s love.
Angel Annie: It's human nature for parents to have a hard time keeping their
spiritual connection when a child’s actions put the whole family
in an uproar. They need that spiritual connection and that’s where
we Angels come in. We’re the connection to God’s love, in fact,
we are God’s love in action.
Jan: I’m sure you know, I went through
those experiences from both sides of the situation, as a child
AND as an adult.
Angel Annie: Yes,
Jan. There are many people like that.
Jan: My heart goes out to those people.
What advice can you give them?
Angel Annie: Repeatedly realize that there is a spiritual solution to every
problem, to EVERY problem. Feel the Angels' love pouring down
on you, and look to God, nowhere else, for your answers. Know
that your answers will come.
Jan: What if they are too distraught?
Angel Annie: That’s what friends are for. Intermediary love. Be there for them.
Be Angels to them. Keep telling them success stories and give
them help. Your Angels will guide you and give you the right words.
We understand that not everyone is ready to acknowledge us. In
cases like that, those people who can’t accept help from us may
be able to accept help from their friends. The love that is bestowed
on your friends will be the healer, regardless if it comes directly
from you or from us.
Jan: Thank you, Angel Annie. Parenthood
can be much easier -- when we keep our eyes on God. ^j^
