ANGEL ON EARTH
Have you ever met an Angel? I have, and anyone who ever had the opportunity to meet or be a part of my dear friend Peggy’s life have been blessed by an Angel on earth.
Let me tell you about my dear friend of the heart. This sweet Angel had the courage of the mightiest warrior in heaven. She had the spirit and strength of a garrison of Angels. There was a humble compassion for the less fortunate and the hurting by injustice to the people she cared about and loved.
This Angel always had her priorities in order, God, family and friends. This Angel was never impressed by who you are, titles and positions meant nothing to our Angel. the things that did impress her were the depth of character and the sincerity of the heart. Our sweet Angel could never be bought by wealth or fame. Her integrity was as solid as the rock she stood on. This dear sweet Angel knew the word was mightier than a double edge sword and she was swift to use it against evil and injustice.
Our sweet Angel was entertained at the White House on many occasions, having tea with the First ladies, but it was them who were blessed by entertaining an Angel. Our Angel’s real delight was dining with her family and friends. One of her dear sayings was, “People can be so foolish, they’ll step over a diamond to get to rhinestones.” God gave our Angel the gift of being able to see through a person into the heart. Our Angel always knew good from evil. this dear sweet Angel was born with the boldness of a lion and the charge of a wild herd of elephants.
There wasn’t anything or anybody who could back her down when God placed the call and mission in her spirit.
Our Angel walked her life without fear. The word fear was not a part of her being. Our Angel was small in size but she could stand up and confront Goliath without one ounce of fear. This sweet Angel was never afraid of what people might say or do to her, but if someone tried to come against her family or friends, she would without a doubt win the war.
Our sweet Angel had an enlarged heart, but it was made of gold. Her heart was very soft and filled with love, compassion and generosity. Her love for her family was full of dedication and loyalty and nothing came before them. Our Angel was so proud of her sons, Scott and Mark, and their beautiful wives, Aparna and Whitney and her precious grandbabies, Ava and her baby B on the way. Our angel had the sweetest and purest love for children. Our Angel loved the sweet innocence of children. She loved the honesty in their hearts and sweetness of their smiles and laughter.
Our Angel accomplished more in her dash than some people who could live a lifetime. This Angel knew that the birth date and date of her death was not important. Our Angel knew the life of the dash was what really mattered. I know when our dear sweet Angel returned to heaven she was greeted with open arms. “Well done, thy good and faithful servant.” Our Angel always greeted family and friends with open arms when you entered her home on earth. Her warmth and love filled the room and she always made your presence feel important.
Has our Angel touched your life in some way? Can you search within your heart and say you have even one of these beautiful qualities of character? If not, you should ask God to search your heart and place you on the road to Damascus and renew your spirit of integrity, “honesty-the total absence of any intent to deceive,” truth, justice, liberty, freedom, courage and love for all mankind.
The leaving of our Angel has placed a big void and loss to our world. This I know for sure, our Angel is talking to God in heaven as to who should be the next to do our Angels’ work here on earth. Our Angel always knew there wasn’t one thing that our God didn’t know about our Angel. Our Angel knew there wasn’t one thing she couldn’t do-that God knew everything. Our Angel left with sweet peace and calmness. When you look up at the stars and if you are blessed to see a shooting star, remember our Angel is still doing her mission. She will be completing her dash in Heaven. Peggy was and will always be my Angel on earth, my Hero, my special friend and the classiest lady I ever met. Thank you God for placing an Angel in my life.
I’ll always love and remember my sweet, sweet angel. I’ll see you again.
Love ya,
Your friend Joyce
