I will be the first to say that I had no idea what life was about until my daughter showed up ten years ago.
For a long time I had been under the impression that I came from a family of angels, whether the family knew it or not. Obviously a lot of us went to church and engaged in charitable activities, but the actual angel work was always secret I believed. My dad is one of the most faithful people I know, engaging in multiple ministries at church, but claims to have never seen an angel in his life. My daughter is a somewhat different story.
My wife and I only have one child. She is the complete and total light of our lives and we pretty much exist in order to make her happy and successful. Now one piece of that mission involves me explaining to her my own life and how it has definitely become an angelic existence.
Every night as me and Kelly tuck Madelyn in, I remind her that she can do amazing things and that while she is sleeping she can help many people in many places. Now my wife used to somewhat wave this off, but in recent times that seems to have changed as she grows in her faith. My wife has several health problems, as do I, and she realizes that at least for us, God may be the only one who can make us whole. So she is motivated to do what that takes because we want more time with Madelyn.
I explain to friends online that if they see a little beautiful angelic image in their lives, it might be my daughter flying through while she is asleep. Of course some people feel blessed, but others wonder about the truth of that statement. But soon enough, after they read my books documenting how angels work and how it is possible for a human to become an angel, their objections subside.
The funny thing about kids in general is that they understand more and have more power than adults. People think adults have all the power and control, but the world is generally run off the prayers of kids. If you think kids are not the most valuable assets on this planet I ask you to see inside a jail, where even the inmates believe in the safety and importance of children.
My own daughter has such an amazing furnace of power it is unbelievable. I used to tell folks in one of my columns that my daughter would fly around the world helping people each night, even while she was asleep! She would not know she was doing it, but her soul would be so powerful it absolutely had to work on God’s tasks. So each night with a kiss and a hug from Dad...off she would go into a deep slumber while she literally patrolled the world helping the helpless.
