If You Were an Angel... What Would You Do?

If you were an Angel what could you do to make a difference? What would you do? To some this is an overwhelming question. The first thought that would go through many minds is " What I do wouldn't make much of a difference ... I am only one person." Get past that! Remember ... the question is if you were an Angel. Angels can be everywhere, be all and do all as they are messengers of God.

With that in mind ... now answer the question. What would you do? Start small. Start with your community. What could you do to bring about change? Remember, we are talking baby steps here. Baby steps become giant steps once you get started.

First make a list ... write down each idea or thought as it comes.

Here is an example of a 'What Would I do Angel List':

? How or what could I do as an Angel to make a difference?

? Is there an area in my community that could possibly use my help?

? What areas am I good at?

? I can sing

? I am good with computers

? I really like to cook

? I love to read

? I am good with children

? I can draw and paint

? I love to drive

? I am good at sports

? I am good at math

? I am good with the elderly

? I am good with business

? How can I use this list of what I am good at to benefit others ... to serve the public in the areas of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual growth?

Once you have the list then you have a direction to go in. See what is available in your area that may already have a program in progress that could use your services, check out the community colleges, maybe teach a class or be a tutor, read to the elderly or just keep them company, be a friend ... the list is endless ... someone can use your gifts and abilities. You can make a difference just sread your wings and fly!

Angels are people who care about others, willing and wanting to make a difference. This is the main ingredient. Angels are dedicated to enriching the quality of life. They assist in creating heaven on earth in a joyful way.

If you were an Angel ... what would you do?
