The other day I got an email from someone who had cancer and I replied by saying, &#8220;I will pray for your continued perfect health.&#8221; She wrote back, highly offended asking me if I ever really read my emails. I went on to explain that if I prayed that she recovered from her cancer I was focusing on the disease but if I gave thanks for her perfect health I was focusing on what she wanted to create, good health.<\/p>\n<p>Angels only have the capacity to see life through the eyes of love. They see only the perfection in everything. Whatever we focus our attention on, we get more of so the question really becomes, &#8220;What do I want to create?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nAffirmations are a wonderful way to change your life. Thought by thought we are affirming something. If we are sick and we keep thinking about how sick we are, we affirming being sick. If we need a job and keep worrying about finding one we are affirming being unemployed. Instead if we give thanks for the wonderful, new job we have before we know it we will have a great job. If we also ask the angels to help us see life through their eyes and we practice doing that magic and miracles will occur.<\/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>I frequently get e mails from people that are in distress asking for help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,19,25,20,13,23,21],"tags":[441,29],"class_list":["post-445","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-angels","category-communicating-with-angels","category-conscious-creation","category-invocation","category-love","category-magical-life","category-miracles","tag-affirmations","tag-angels-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 -
