They say Christmas angels are dressed in white and some have a golden glow about them. That may be true of some Christmas angels, but I am here to tell you Christmas angels come in all sizes shapes and ware many different outfits. Some come in the form of someone bringing you some cookies on Christmas day when they know you will be alone. Others come on the form of a lover who searches high and low for just the perfect gift. Real Christmas angels know it is not the size of a present of the cost of it that matters. What makes it special is that anyone cared enough to get you a present at all.
Now I want to tell you about my Christmas angel. I was sitting home today and a knock came on my door. I thought it may be the drug store as I had called to have some things delivered. When I got to the door it was a delivery man. He said he had a large priority mail package for me and he did not want to bring it to the door till he was sure I was home. I thanked him, and said to my boyfriend who I was on voice with at the time " I thought you said your package was coming tomorrow" he said it is supposed to. I said well I am getting a delivery now wonder who from. When he brought the box in he was not kidding it was a very big brown box tied with some yellow bailing cord and taped shut with a lot of duct tape. I looked on the return address label it was from a very thoughtful friend of mine. She knew I was going to be all alone on Christmas and took it upon herself to make me a wonderful Christmas package complete with its own decorated tree inside.
I have never seen anything like this it had several packages inside. I have never had anyone do anything so unexpected and so thoughtful for me like this in my life. Angels come in many forms and this one rode in on a motorcycle . Incase you have not figured it out yet this wonderful surprise came from my friend Roxey. and I want to thank her for all the world to see for being so kind and giving when she did not have to do it. I have a couple other people that think of me on Christmas, like Ed and his family, but I always know when they are sending me something. This gift was a total surprise and totally unexpected. Those are the best kind of gifts the ones you do not expect, and they are often the ones you remember forever. I cherish anything my friends and family give me. It gives me a warm feeling all over to know there are people out there that care about me enough to try to make my holiday happier. They are truly angels and I know when the time comes God will have a place for them near to him, because they care about their fellow man now in life. In the words of Charles Dickens " Mankind was my business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence, were all my business ".
I totally believe that there are a few people on this planet that not only believe Mr. Dickens's words but live by them. My angel on a motorcycle is one of these. My friends Ed, Jennie, Phil Kathy, Paula are also such people. The kind that will do what ever they can to make someone happy and ask nothing in return. So remember at this festive time of year to always be thankful for our Christmas angels and remember they do not need to ware white or have a golden glow to be an angel. Sometimes they may ware leather and ride a motorcycle.
