\"cupid%2520statue\"<\/a>We look so often to the angelic realms for love, hope and guidance. We often forget that we are the gift, that without us the universe would be incomplete.<\/p>\n

Here are some wonderful quotes about angels, hope and love. I have long loved quotes and often print them and put them near my computer. Before my computer the fridge was the hanging place of all these little gems.<\/p>\n

Hope is that thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops… at all.\u00a0 ~ Emily Dickinson<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We are like children, who stand in need of masters to enlighten us and direct us; God has provided for this, by appointing his angels to be our teachers and guides. ~<\/strong> Thomas Aquinas<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Angels guide us to become spiritual people for the pleasure of it\u2026 because the spiritual life itself has a great deal of beauty and real satisfaction, even pleasure.<\/p>\n

And this is what the soul needs. ~<\/strong> Thomas Moore<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Every blade of grass has an angel that bends over it and whispers, ‘Grow! Grow!’…\u00a0 ~ Talmud<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.\u00a0 ~ Mother Teresa<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.\u00a0 ~ Albert Einstein <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/strong>There is no surprise more magical than the surprise of being loved.\u00a0 It is God’s finger on man’s shoulder.\u00a0 ~ Charles Morgan<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The road that is built in hope is more pleasant to the traveler than the road built in despair, even though they both lead to the same destination.\u00a0 ~ Marian Zimmer Bradley<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
God moves in a mysterious way<\/dt>\n
His wonders to perform; <\/dt>\n
He plants his footsteps in the sea, <\/dt>\n
And rides upon the storm. ~ William Cowper<\/em><\/strong><\/dt>\n

\n<\/em><\/strong><\/dt>\n
<\/dt>\n
Calling the angels into your home<\/a> <\/p>\n

With love and aloha,
\nSusan<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Angels are everywhere just open your mind and your heart to the signs.<\/p>\n
