Angels are everywhere. They are all around us. We encounter them. Whenever we talk about angels, thoughts of winged creatures with majestic voices and stringed instruments come to mind. You watch a show on TV or a movie, and see them complete with flashes of light and puffs of clouds on the background. Reality seeps in and you feel that angels are too heavenly to be true.
Oftentimes, we overlook the people we encounter everyday. The guard who opens the door for you on your way to work. Your friend who helps you with your project. Your mom who gives good advice.
If an angel can be defined as someone sent by God to assist people, then an angel is never faraway. And they don't necessarily come with wings and strings.
May each one of us be an angel to people around us.
