Wings of Angels

It was a missing case in 2004 that grabbed my heart. A 24 year old woman was missing. Her boyfriend later confessed to killing her. I dont know what it was about this particular case that grabbed me as it did. Maybe it was a realization that none of us are exempt to evil. This woman was not the first to go missing in the world and she wouldnt be the last. I began looking into other missing children's cases and it was brutally overwhelming how many children as well as adults were missing. Many grieving loved ones across the globe and new cases were being reported daily. Soon after this in late 2004 early 2005 I joined the cause to spread information about those who were missing and to make information available for those in need of where to turn. The name I chose for my memorial site, message board and facebook page is Cherubwings. I chose this name in hopes that those precious little ones who suffered and died at the hands of evil were now affixed with wings of angels flying free to be hurt no more but in the presence of God safe for all eternity.

When you see Angels wings it makes you think of Heaven and the angels the bible speak of not the fallen ones that were cast out of heaven along with Lucifer.

When we lose loved ones our hope and prayer is that they transitioned into the presence of the Lord and are in his care. The bible makes light that some will perish but those who believe in his son will not but will have life eternal. Some struggle with not knowing whether their loved ones died believing in Christ but try not to think about. We hold to hopes that they somehow some way were reconnected with him before their souls left their body and were forgiven for their transgressions. This past holiday was the first holiday I got to celebrate with normalcy since losing my dad in 2013. I thought of a dozen ways I wanted to remember him during the holidays from deocrating a tree just for him, adorning ornaments on my tree with his picture in them to leaving out a bowl of walnuts that he so enjoying around the holidays. I ended up doing all mentioned.

Before Christmas I found some angel wings in Sears and wanted to purchase them to put on my tree with my dad in mind but long lines persuaded me to try again another time. Yesterday I found these beautiful wings at the store and bought them to hang on my tree that remains up and decorated in my living room. I hold on to the Christmas season a little longer than most. LOL I hung one near my Dad's picture that hangs on the tree with a little fadora hat that I found. He had a collection of those hats and it was the perfect ornament to hang near him. Although the Bible mentions nothing about us becoming angels upon death it does mention in a parrable by Jesus of Lazarus the begger being carried to Abraham's bossom by Angels after his death. I pray that the angels carried my daddy to a perfect place of rest in the Kingdom of my Father to be with him forever. I do as much as I can to help me deal with the physical absence of my Dad and to keep him alive in my heart. I will never ever forget the man that was my daddy for 51 years.
