I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow, declares the Lord.

JEREMIAH 32:13

This book was divinely inspired, and I am honored to be the conduit of it. It is a loving gift from the Father Almighty to His hurting children so that they may have a small glimpse of heaven on earth, and a taste of His enormous love and grace. The quotes, Scriptures, and angelic artwork in this book have had an uplifting effect on my spirit and have aided my healing through painful times. My wish for you is, as you journey through life and the challenges it holds, that you will be able to receive comfort and joy from this collection.

H ow precious is Your loving kindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of your wings.

PSALM 36:7 NKJV

HUGS AND ANGEL KISSES TO YOU!

S criptures and inspirational quotes soothe my heart and comfort my soul as though it were being kissed by angels.

A ll that happens to us, good and bad, presents great possibilities for emotional and spiritual growth. You and I have free will. We can pick and choose what better serves our happiness. This is your one and only short and precious life. It could end at any time. This present moment is really all the time we have to decide to follow God and live in His light.

NAOMI JUDD, THE TRANSPARENT LIFE

H e will cover you with His feathers, and under his wings you can hide. His truth will be your shield and protection.

PSALM 91:4 NCV

I know God will not give me anything I cant handle. I just wish he didnt trust me so much.

MOTHER TERESA

T rust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

PSALM 37:34 NKJV

N ow the alternative to despair is courage. And human life can be viewed as a continuous struggle between these two options. Courage is the capacity to affirm ones life in spite of the elements which threaten it. The fact that courage usually predominates over despair in itself tells us something important about life. It tells you that the forces that affirm life are stronger than those that negate it.

PAUL E. PFUETZE

Y ou can never do a kindness too soon because you never know how soon will be too late.

AUTHOR UNKNOWN

I n the giving it becomes clear that we are chosen, blessed, and broken not simply for our own sakes, but so that all we are about, all that we live, finds its final significance in its being lived for others.

HENRI NOUWEN

T he glory of friendship is not in the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, or the joy of companionship; it is in the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him.

RALPH WALDO EMERSON

A nd we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

ROMANS 8:28 NKJV

L et your hopes, not your hurts, shape your future.

ROBERT H. SCHULLER

T hrough the Lords mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not.

LAMENTATIONS 3:22-24

T here are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One is roots; the other, wings.
