The question I often hear voiced is, &#8221; Why did God allow this to happen?&#8221; The environmental impact of an oil spill lasts for centuries. It is a gift that definitely keeps on giving.<\/p>\n<p>So where do angels and God come into all this? God loves us enough to allow us to create whatever we want, even if it has negative repercussions like an oil spill. Angels lovingly embrace the spirits of all the animals and people that are effected by our choices, surrounding them with love, comfort and a sense of connection.<\/div>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nI personally believe that nothing every dies it just changes form and that all events are an opportunity for us to look at the results of our actions. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the people, animals and the land that will be affected by this oil spill. So often it seems that money and temporary comfort are the basis of our choices.<\/p>\n<p>Native Americans suggest we make our choices based on the effect they will have on the next seven generations. I often ask the angels to help me make all my choices based on love and to see the world through their eyes. When I do I know everything is perfect just as it is and I can make a difference by focusing on love and making my choices based on love. <\/p>\n<p>Perhaps we could all drive just a little less, pray a little more and focus on seeing everything through the eyes of the angels. Do that for a while and see what happens in your world.<\/p>\n<p>With love and aloha,<br \/>\n<i><a href=\"http:\/\/susangregg.com\/\">Susan<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<p>Angels are everywhere just open your mind and your heart to the signs.<\/p>\n<p>Make <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/angelsonyourshoulder\/\">Angels on Your Shoulder<\/a>  part of your daily routine and share it with a friend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What do angels and oil spills have in common?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,26,22,12,14,8],"tags":[29,359,358,41],"class_list":["post-393","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-angels","category-beliefs","category-ease","category-kindness","category-prayers","category-spirit-guides","tag-angels-2","tag-environment","tag-oil-spills","tag-prayers-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 -
