The gates of heaven are a little more open
Een mooie boodschap van Lorna Byrne, bestseller auteur over haar ontmoetingen met engelen.
I wish you a very joyful Christmas. Its up to you to feel this joy and not to turn it into a stressful time. We need to be joyful so our love and joy touches others around us, even strangers as we walk by them on the street. God and his angels gives each of us, regardless of our religious faith or whether we celebrate Christmas or not, a gift of joy and love at this time each year. Its up to you though as to whether you will accept this gift. At this time of the year since I was a child, I have seen thousands of angels flying over houses dropping balls of light into each and every home. When this happens, I see an explosion of light that fills every nook and cranny of the house, lighting up the brickwork and the cement in between. I have always wondered why this happened and its only in recent years that the angels have explained to me what they are doing. They have told me that they are helping adults to connect with their memories of Heaven. In the presence of young children we often feel their sense of joy particularly at Christmas. Young children have recently come from God, from Heaven, and are full of love and joy. All of us adults carry these memories inside us, though they may be hidden for most of the year. At this time of the year the gates of Heaven are opened a little bit more. These angels, millions and millions of them, push the gates that are already ajar a little more open as they are poured on to the world like a never ending stream of light. I was in The angels tell me that each and every home is visited over the period, regardless of your religion, or whether you believe in anything at all, whether your home is a mansion, or a tent in a refugee camp. I have no idea how the angels work out when to visit each home but I think it may be to do with dropping the ball of light when all who live there are in, so as everyone can experience the joy. No-one in the world is missed. I was in my local supermarket the other day and in front of me in the queue was a Muslim woman and her young daughter, both with their heads covered with scarves. As always behind each one I could see the light of their guardian angel and beside the little girl was an angel. This angel was perfect, very beautiful and towered over the little girl, I could faintly see wings that were folded back. The angel was dressed in a brilliant white robe that had a fine golden border at the edge of the sleeves. As they paid the woman at the checkout wished them a Happy Christmas. The little girl turn to her mother with a big smile on her face, delighted at being wished a Happy Christmas, but the mother didnt smile and looked disapproving. The angel lifted its hand over the childs head and I could see golden dust being sprinkled on her. The child turned and unseen by her mother gave me an enormous smile of sheer joy. The angel told me that a ball of light had been dropped on her home the night before and that because she was so young she was accepting the gift of joy unconditionally. The mother though, because of tradition and fear was pushing this joy away. These angels are not here only for people of the Christian faith, they are here from mid November until early January because this is a time that all traditions and religions celebrate � it is after all a time that the gates of Heaven are a little more open, and a time where God sends each and every one of our homes a gift of a ball of light of joy and love. We each need at this time to accept this gift of love and joy and to allow it into our heart. It�s our choice and we each need to make a decision as to whether we will or not. If we do we will find that things become less stressful and that we enjoy things more. Our joy and love will touch others around us and will make us less judgemental of ourselves and others -it will be easier for us to forgive others who may have hurt us in the past. I know Christmas is not an easy time for many people, particularly those who have lost loved ones. The angels are telling me to say to those of you who are grieving that the soul of your loved is in Heaven and God allows them to be around you when you need them. Your loved ones are without pain and happy in Heaven and want you to be happy and to live your life to the full. Your loved one wants you to accept this gift of joy and love even if you are grieving and missing them. If we accept this gift of love and joy it will help us to see that there is more to life than material things, and will help us to appreciate our family and friends more. It will also help us to notice others who may not have as much of us � people who are in need of friendship, a smile, some money, a little gift. The angels are telling me that we are not sharing enough - it doesn�t have to be something big that you share, it could be a hug, or a Christmas greeting (the angels are telling me we don�t say Happy Christmas enough!) . You could save someone�s life this Christmas by smiling at them � by helping them to see that there is light there, that life is worth living. They are telling me to ask you that if you have a little extra to share it. That if you know of a family or an elderly person who will be lacking this Christmas, someone studying or working away and not going home for Christmas to do something like put a little gift on their doorstep. They are also reminding me to say to you that we need to look beyond our own local concerns when we are giving, and to try if we can to also give something, even a few pence, to help people in other parts of the world who have much less than us, particularly those who are affected by war or natural disasters. My wish and prayer for all of you is that you will accept this love and joy into your life. Happy Christmas. Blessings to you, your family and loved ones.
