On Angels
Children’s views on angels.
I only know the names of two angels. Hark and Harold.
~Gregory, 5Everybody’s got it all wrong. Angels don’t wear halos anymore. I forget why, but scientists are working on it.
~Olive, 9It’s not easy to become an angel! First, you die. Then you go to heaven, and then there’s still the flight training to go through. And then you got to agree to wear those angel clothes.
~Matthew, 9Angels work for God and watch over kids when God has to go do something else.
~Mitchell, 7My guardian angel helps me with math, but he’s not much good for science.
~Henry, 8Angels don’t eat, but they drink milk from Holy Cows!
~Jack, 6Angels talk all the way while they’re flying you up to heaven. The main subject is where you went wrong before you got dead.
~Daniel, 9When an angel gets mad, he takes a deep breath and counts to ten. And when he lets out his breath, somewhere there’s a tornado.
~Reagan, 10Angels have a lot to do and they keep very busy. If you lose a tooth, an angel comes in through your window and leaves money under your pillow. Then when it gets cold, angels go north for the winter.
~Sara, 6Angels live in cloud houses made by God and his son, who’s a very good carpenter.
~Jared, 8All angels are girls because they gotta wear dresses and boys didn’t go for it.
~Antonio, 9My angel is my grandma who died last year. She got a big head start on helping me while she was still down here on earth.
~Katelynn, 9Some of the angels are in charge of helping heal sick animals and pets. And if they don’t make the animals get better, they help the child get over it.
~Vicki, 8What I don’t get about angels is why, when someone is in love, they shoot arrows at them.
~Sarah, 7
This email meme was sent by Jacque (thank you!). Haven’t found the source, so I don’t know if any real children ever said these things. Still, these are awfully cute.
This is wonderful. I’m going to copy and paste it – okay?
I’ll link to you.
Were you ever able to access my comments? That is so weird.
Dear Ann – Thanks much, but no need to link – it’s an email meme, so as far as I know it doesn’t properly “belong” to anyone.
And yes – I can access comments again. Not sure what that was all about, but I’m glad it is resolved. Hugs.
Hi Heidi!! This is really so very interesting. When I was a child, my angel in concept was a lil child, with curly hair, who was getting bigger as we grew up. Now, I think “he” is already an adult angel
Thanks to visit my other blog, and I must say I´m impressed how you can understand Latin languages quite well (75%!!!); congratulations!! And ah, you can comment in English, alright?!
Big hugs!!
What a wonderful inner image – the angel that grows with you!
Umm..yeah…yr blog… well, reading is a lot easier than writing (as you know!). Thanks for the permission (and possibly the mandate – hee-hee) to comment in English.
