Found this in a book. I think it's beautiful. When I think about this fractured but beautiful world we live in, I believe we could really do with more angels.
If You Come Across An Angel
Every day, in the world around us, real-life angels are doing the things they do and bringing more smiles to the world around them.
Real-life angels build bridges instead of walls. They don't have hidden agendas. They tend to be the ones who understand what you're going through. If they sense that you're hurting, they do whatever they can to help you. Real-life angels understand difficulties and always give the benefit of the doubt.
They don’t hold others up to standards they can't live by themselves. They are what “inner beauty” is all about. They don't hold things against you. They only thing they hold.. is you ..
They take your hand in theirs when you could use some guidance and direction in your life. And they support you in your attempts to do what is right.
Real-life angels multiply your smiles and add to your integrity. If you if You Come Across An Angel, you are one of the luckiest people of all. If someone in your life is like an angel to you, it's important to thank them … for the blessing.

There are many angels walking this earth. They have faith that one day despite our differences we will find peace and unity. They have empathy and understanding and we become better people in their presence. I share their faith and regardless of how hard at times it is to maintain it, we must never give up hope. Because without faith and hope we really have no chance.
