Bovine Angel<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Late in the day at my family\u2019s cattle ranch, I noticed something strange on my way through the field. One of the newborn calves had a white spot on her side. It shone like a beacon. That\u2019s strange, I thought, making a beeline for her. Almost all of our cows were solid red or solid black. As I got close I saw that this white spot had a very unique shape. When it came time to name the calves we had no problem coming up with a name for Angel.\u2014Susan Topham, Sprague River, Oregon<\/em><\/p>\n

Snowy Reassurance from Beyond<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I sipped my coffee on the couch that cold and icy February morning, sunlight filtering in thorough the curtains. I was determined to enjoy some well-deserved alone time while my husband was out, but I couldn\u2019t keep my mind from wandering. My eyes fell on my mother\u2019s prayer books, stacked on the end table. It had been three weeks since Mom had passed away. The night before she died, she gathered me and my sisters together. \u201cKnow I\u2019ll be watching over you,\u201d she said, looking so small in her hospital bed. I wanted to believe that was true. I also wanted to believe she was with my dad, who\u2019d died eight years before. Now, Mom was buried alongside him. They shared a headstone\u2014two hearts interlocked.<\/p>\n

Sighing, I got up and threw open the curtains. I gasped. There in the frozen snow were tire tracks in the shape of two hearts.\u2014Sue Osborn, Johnstown, Pennsylvania<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Cavern Angel<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We really wanted to go to see Carlsbad Caverns in\u00a0New Mexico. The tour guide led us down a narrow corridor. My husband held his breath waiting to get to the bottom of the “great room” where the tour guide boasted of a gigantic\u00a0wide opened space the size of a football field. The tour guide wanted to turn off the lights to show what pitch blackness\u00a0was like. Just then, the guide shined his powerful flashlight on a beautiful formation. An angel appeared on the wall of the cave. He was still staring at that formation when the lights came on.\u00a0 \u2014Stephanie Thompson, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Cactus Angel<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Last May, I took a trip to see my son and daughter-in-law’s new home in Arizona. After I got settled, I stepped outside to take in the landscape, so different from my home in North Dakota. Autumn sage, Acacia trees and\u2014what was that? A cactus in the shape of an angel! North Dakota or Arizona, angels are at home everywhere.\u2014Marjorie Walter, Dickinson, North Dakota<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Shadow Angel<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Spending time outside on the porch was my favorite way to relax\u2014until my husband, Ron, set up a hummingbird feeder in the yard. The birds flitted here, there and everywhere, chirping constantly. Their restlessness made me crazy! So much for peace, I thought one morning. Then I noticed the feeder\u2019s shadow created the perfect angel on the pavement. I guess those restless creatures do have a peaceful side!\u2014Kathy Keeley Anderson, Wautoma, Wisconsin<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Waving Angel<\/strong><\/h3>\n

My husband and I are avid cyclers, and our favorite place to bike is the Santa Ana River Trail in Southern California. We went this past June especially to see the Matilija poppies in bloom. We didn’t expect to be greeted by this little angel beside the bike path. Looks like she is waving hello!\u2014Penny Braund, Corona, California<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Plank Angel<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We\u2019d been living in our new house for days, but I wished there was a way I could know for sure we\u2019d made the right decision. I was inside unpacking dishes, and my husband was outside putting up a wood fence. He popped his head into the kitchen. \u201cKristy, come and see this,\u201d he said. Out in the yard he pointed to one of the planks. Embedded in the wood was an angel. This was definitely the house for us.\u2014Kristy Chism, Lincoln, Nebraska<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Oyster Angel<\/strong><\/h3>\n

My brother and sister-in-law threw a family BBQ at their new house on Puget Sound. My niece discovered quite a welcoming sight nestled in the rocks along the beach. Clusters of oysters and barnacles aren\u2019t uncommon to these sparkling waters, but what a lovely occasion to see a group of them in this inspiring shape.\u2014Mary Michael Garlichs, Lacey, Washington<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Juniper Angel<\/strong><\/h3>\n

At the age of 56, retired from teaching and office work, I decided\u00a0to try my hand at wood carving. I learned to use chain saws, angle\u00a0grinders and die grinders. Twenty years later, I\u2019m still at it. My\u00a0favorite part is that first cut into a piece of raw wood. That\u2019s when I find out\u00a0what unique patterns and colors are inside. Like the day I cut a piece of\u00a0shaggy bark juniper and discovered this angel waiting within.\u2014Paula Dimit, Albuquerque, New Mexico<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Avian Angel<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Why does my license plate say \u201cD-Stork\u201d? Because I delivered babies for 35 years before retiring in 2003. In my spare time, I always took pictures. Now I\u2019m president of the Naples (Florida) Camera Club. So when our backyard pond drew over 50 birds for two days straight, I made sure to get them on camera. I\u2019d never seen so many birds in one place! They were egrets, not storks, but equally angelic. As you can see.\u2014David Garrison, Fort Meyers, Florida<\/em><\/p>\n
