Valentine’s Day Angels

Angels have a rich theology and mythology.  Angels invariably have
wings and a halo.  They are angels of mercy, and in the case of
Cupid, the Valentine angel, he always has his bow ready to fire an arrow
into the heart of your beloved.

Other angels carry religious messages, most notably the Archangel Gabriel
who foretells of Mary’s conception and the birth of Jesus.  There
is a common belief that angels are the souls of dead babies.

Valentine Angel Jokes

• Peter aged 7.  ‘Angels don’t eat much, but they drink a lot of
  milk from Holy Cows.’
• Veronica aged 8. ‘I don’t understand about Valentine angels; why when
  a girl fancies a boy, they get an angel to shoot arrows at him.
• Bert aged 25.  ‘My wife’s an angel’.
  Don aged 57.
  ‘Your lucky, mine is still alive’.

Another Good Angel Joke

Just before Valentine’s Day God was looking down at Earth and saw all of
the evil that was going on.  He decided to send an angel down to
Earth to check it out.  So he called one of His best angels and
sent the angel to Earth for a time.  When she returned she told God,
yes it is bad on Earth, 95% is bad and 5% is good.

Well, he thought for a moment and said, maybe I had better send
down a second angel to get another point of view.  So God called
another angel and sent her to Earth for a time too. When the angel
returned she went to God and told him yes, the Earth was in decline,
95% was bad and 5% was good.

God said this was not good. So He decided to email the 5% that were
good and He wanted to encourage them, give them a little something to
help them keep going.

Do you know what that email said?
Ah, so you didn’t get one either?

  stranger who just happened to come along, when you had lost your way.

  blessed.

Angels Remind Us…..

Angels might be here to remind us of our spiritual dimension.

• Angels
  also might be here to remind us:
• To seek the best in ourselves at all times no matter who is watching or
  not watching. Integrity is a virtue they wish to remind us to practice at
  all times.
• They act as role models to help and give to others. They constantly are
  reminders to help and give without expectation of anything in return.
• Angels remind us to ‘lighten up’ in our lives and have a little fun.
  They know that families who laugh together stay together. Laughter is
  healing and those angels love to see the lighter side of life.
• So no matter whether you believe or not believe in Angels, they certainly
  add to the magic, fun and joy associated with the celebrations and
  festivities of Valentines’ Day and Christmas.

Earth’s Angel Poem For Valentine’s Day

God’s Angels are depicted,
All wearing pretty wings….
Along with
a golden harp,
Sweet music that they sing.

Don’t overlook Earth’s Angels,
We see them everywhere….
In the

Because they truly care.

Cupid – Valentine Day Poem /
Song

Cupid, draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my
lover’s heart for me
for me

Cupid, please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my
lover’s heart for me

Now I don’t mean to bother you
But I’m in distress
There’s danger
of me losing all of my happiness
For I love a girl who doesn’t know I
exist
And this you can fix

So, Cupid, draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my
lover’s heart for me
Nobody but me

Cupid, please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my
lover’s heart for me

Now, Cupid, if your arrow makes his love strong for me
I promise I
will love him until eternity
I know between the two of us his heart we
can steal
Help me if you will

So, Cupid, draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my
lover’s heart for me
Nobody but me

Cupid, please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my
lover’s heart for me

Now, Cupid, don’t you hear me calling you, I need you,
Cupid, help me.

Words by Sam Cooke.

Ode To the Christmas Tree Angel

The time had come around again it was time to get our tree
In the car
we piled us boys, my sister on mum’s knee
Out into the country, dad drove
for miles and miles
When at last he found the place, we could not contain
our smiles.

Dad headed to the tall pine trees, his sharpest axe in hand
Dutiful
behind him trailed his merry little band
At last he spied the one he
sought, a sapling straight and tall
“This will please your mum” he said,
indeed it pleased us all.

With swift clean strokes he had in no time cut it down
We placed the
tree atop the car and headed back to town
The decorating of the tree this
year would be supervised by Mum
The final piece, “The Angel” would be
placed by the youngest one.

This year my baby brother would be helped by sis and me
But as we
lifted baby up we tripped and fell into the tree
Tangled in the trimmings
we rode the tree as down it came
Mid tears and cries right through the
lounge room window pane.

I carried on tradition with my children every year
But when it came to
“Angel” time up came a nagging fear
Of breaking glass and angels wings
and the message that it sent
To place my tree in a great big pot in
reinforced cement!
