Last week, when I arrived at ISD on Sunday morning, I knew it would be a good day. It was one of those days that just kept getting better, not because of any one circumstance, but because of the PEOPLE that kept arriving on the scene, both in church and beyond. You know that feeling? When someone pops up in front of you and you didn't even know that you missed them or needed to see them until you saw them?
Well, it was like that all day long and I just surfed the wave of fabulous people-energy, enhanced and strengthened in the magic of our Spiritual Home. What a great place to be those angels that just show up for each other, without even knowing that we called for each other! Pretty cool, that thought, eh? Angels finding angels they didn't even know they were seeking. I don't know about you, but I'm in.
In the remaining summer days, we have lots of wonderful opportunities to be conscious of our ANGEL-HOOD. So let's get on those opportunities, why don't we?
You can be an angel right now for our Back(Pack) To School Project!
We have just TWO WEEKS left to outfit backpacks for the kids of the Douglas Knoll Community Center in SE DC. We are about halfway to our goal of $1050 (for 30 backpacks), so let's not let these awesome kids down! And of course you can sponsor more than one backpack, if you are feeling particularly "Angel-y." Make your $35/per backpack donation
online today
and help a kid have all that he or she needs to start the school year off ahead of the game!
Then, of course are these upcoming fabulous events and activities, where angels can easily find other angels to bring out more of each others' Angelic Selves.
