FROM THE ANGELS --
Rejoice in the spring which is about to arrive. In some parts of the world, it is still very cold. In other parts the flowers are blooming. Whatever it is in your area, remember that rejuvenation is God’s sign that after winter shall come beautiful spring days. If you are sad, tired of winter, feeling blue, look forward to the beautiful spring days that will soon be here. Look for the first blooms. Look for the Robins and Hummingbirds to return. Look for the joy which will come with all these signs. With every sign, there is an angel. Look for us, too.

KUDOS from Wilma
James Praagh's site led me here. Your site is so interesting and profound. I am so pleased that there are sites like this. While reading, there were moments of having a big smile on my face, and moments of exhilaration, and moments of great clarityI am so glad that there are people like you two that share so much with us. I leave this site tonight reluctantly because I have learned so much over the last couple of hours that I have been here, and I plan to revisit the site daily. Keep up the good work girls. God bless you both.

NOTICE TO ALL: If you go to www.vanpraagh.com and click on CHAT ROOM LOGS, you will find the transcript of Barbara’s guest appearance earlier this month. Enjoy!

ASK THE ANGELS -- If you have a question for the angels write asktheangels@angelspeake.com

FROM Sandy
Hi! I was reading Monday's message and it said that God's love is infinite. I believe this strongly. But, all my life people had taught me that it is a natural way for everything and part of this "natural way" is that love has to be between male and female to be accepted by God.

Then what about homosexual and lesbian love? I know that the love most of them share as a couple is as real as heterosexual couple’s. God respects our free will but at the same time, He sends us messages to help us understand if we are doing something wrong. I know gay couples that have been together 20, 30 and more years and they always feel that God guides and blesses them thru the relationship.
What the angels say about this? What is God's truth?
Blessings,
Sandy

B&T Lets ASK the angels.
Dear Angels, please answer Sandy’s question.

Dear Ones, why do you think love has to be categorized and quantified? Love is love and does not judge. One man loves his dog. Another does not like dogs at all. Is the loving man wrong? Is the non-loving person wrong? No. It would be foolish to think so. All love that brings no harm is good in God’s sight. Look not at right and wrong. Look at the whole. God loves all and supports all loving relationships. The gardener does not weed his neighbor’s garden; he takes care of his own. So it is with life. Protect your own loving relationships and help them to grow. Be tolerant of how others choose to love.
Your angels of Love

FROM Carole
Recently I had a two-part procedure involving two stints and surgery, to remove a large kidney stone. I asked my Angels to be with me, because the first procedure was to be done without anesthetic. When it was completed the doctor said he had never had one go as smoothly, and that I was a stellar patient. My Angels were the stellar ones. Thank you Angels!
Carole

Dear Carole,
Awesome! You are in good hands with angels in the surgery room! Thanks for sharing.

Dear Barbara & Trudy,
OK, I did it. I never in a million years would have thought to ask why I have this Parry Romberg's condition. PRS is hemifacial atrophy - destroys the fatty tissue of the body leaving skin stretched over the skeleton. It can affect bone and muscle as well as the tissue. In my conversation with the angels/disease I tried not to put my spin on it. I went back and put my name/initial on my part and Angel/initial on their part. See below:

February 18, 2004
Kate: Dear Infinite Spirit, I have romberg’s disease. Why do I have this? Please help me to understand. Barbara and Trudy suggested I ask my disease why I have it?

A: So you could find the God part within you – to learn how to live from a point of love. It has helped you to learn to allow others to be who they are and has helped you to let go of trying to control situations and others. It’s been a way for you to accept who you are – to accept God’s will for you.

K: Is this why rombergs is chosen as a challenge by others?

A: Each person has their own agenda, their own reasons for choosing the challenges that they do. Don’t worry dear one, it’s all a learning process and you’re learning beautifully. All is in Divine Order.

K: What else can you tell me about why I have prs?

A: Romberg’s has challenges, but at the same time allows you to function and move on – you can still do things you need to do. Your strength spills over to others. They find comfort in your ability to cope in the physical world while being challenged by physical features in a society that operates by physical beauty. You must remember you are a spiritual being in a physical world. You are what is within you, not your physical body. Accepting this will bring you great joy.

K: I’m getting there.

A: Yes, dear one, we know you are. We are helping you and you are helping others at the romberg’s connection with your words shared with love. You said to someone, “Blessing our enemies takes their power away, maybe we should bless everyone before leaving our homes?” This is an excellent idea! You are noticing how sharing your thoughts and beliefs in loving ways with others is helping you? Continue to do this. Doors are opening. Graciously accept all that is coming to you. Give us your fear. We are here with you always, dear one.

K: Ladies, If you do use it in the eletter, would you mind adding some text saying something about my website for comfort - www.soulkisses.com ? (B&T – This is a wonderful site created with love!)
In love and light, Kate

MORE FROM asktheangels@angelspeake.com

FROM Carolyn
I have often asked myself if I truly believe in my own spiritual beliefs. January 2003 I had to leave a job that I truly loved and believed was my passion in life. I had received an Angel message in October 2002 that I was headed for a physical problem if I didn't take better care of myself. I didn't head that warning and had a severe anxiety and depression disorder hit me hard and hospitalized me for several days.

I am recovering and have just started school at San Francisco State University in Special Education for the Viusually Impaired. I learned that by turning all of my worries and fears over to God and the angels, the right doors open at the right time.

I no longer doubt my belief in my spirit guidance. I know Trudy and Barbara will be surprised by this note since I am one of their first facilitators. I want to thank both of you for all that you taught me. Bless you.

FROM Kathy
Dear Trudy & Barbara,
I was very interested in the message from the lady who said she feels she doesn't "fit in" anywhere. I feel exactly the same and wonder what is wrong with me. I try my best to be friendly with people and just never seem to be able to have many friends. I have only one to two CLOSE friends. I sometimes think I ask too much from people -- loyalty, honesty, friendliness and never really find this.

I have been this way all my life and I am now 49 yrs. old.. Why is it some people always seem to have many friends and I just cannot? What am I doing
wrong?
Love, Kathy D.

Since this topic is brought up often, let’s ask the angels about the spiritual reason
of feeling like you don’t “fit in”.

Dear Ones, because all of you have so many diversified experiences of many lifetimes, there are innumerable possible combinations of souls who come to earth to live at any one time. The most common reason a soul doesn’t “fit” is because it has chosen to be born into a family it has never been with in any lifetime. People who have very close families have often been incarnated with each other many times, and therefore there is a soul recognition immediately and a bond of work or talents that is recognizable. If you have been born into such a family and you are the odd-soul-out, so to speak, you will never feel like you belong.

Another reason you may feel alone is that you are out of synchronicity with your primary soul group and have chosen to be born this time to learn lessons of individualism, survival, ego strength, and to live a life with unique growth opportunities. Do not lose hope. Pray that you will find a friend as unique as you are. Do different things than your family of origin suggested. Follow your own heart and be different. There are others like you, just not where you would think they are. Trust that you are on the right path. You are.
Your angels who are always with you

POSTSCRIPTS FROM THE OTHER SIDE
In our book, “Heaven & Beyond”, we taught you that you can speak to people who are not truly alive, but who are not really deceased either. One of the men we wrote about had Alzheimer’s and his daughter-in-law sent us a message she had received from his spirit after asking why he had chosen this disease. Here was the reply she received when she asked him, “If you had all your faculties and the power to communicate, what would you tell us?”

[I would say to you that...] Even where I am is purposeful. Do not think to hurry me to spare my suffering or what you believe would be my embarrassment. I am yet learning lessons or else I would not be here. When all my contracts are fulfilled and I have learned all I can, I will go, and soon enough. Though you may have difficulty believing it, you yet have things you learn through me.

She then asks, “What do we have to learn?”

And Paul replies, “Patience. My wife is having trouble letting me go. To leave her suddenly would be too great a shock to her. She sees herself as strong as she really is, but she also sees herself as one-half of a couple. When the couple ceases to exist, she will be lost for a time. I am giving her a chance to rehearse.”

B&T
Why have we mentioned this in February? President’s Day, just passing, was a time of many TV programs about past presidents. Ronald Reagan has Alzheimer’s and we thought we would ask him how he was doing.

Dear Ladies, How kind of you to think of me. So many have me dead and buried just because they can’t speak to me directly. On the contrary, I am quite busy in some ways. At least my mind is. I, and others like me, come and go. Our spirits leave our bodies often and we go to where things are interesting. As the President of the United States I was interested in many things concerning Foreign Policy and Internal Affairs. I still am. Often I have “gone” to the Middle East to see what was going on, but truthfully, that situation is so out of hand, I find it uninteresting. I do, however visit with the boys who are wounded or dying. There is a freedom of movement we who live in between worlds have, and I take advantage of it.

Mostly, however, I do my best to comfort Nancy and to help her get over her grieving. When she finally accepts that I am “gone” then I will really go. We were, in some ways, too attached to one another. Love is a good and wonderful thing, but it is also important to think one’s own thoughts and to have one’s own life. Yes, we were twin souls, but that doesn’t mean we were one soul. We were still individuals.

Do not feel sorry for me. There is no need. This disease is just as much a part of my life as everything else was. It looks much worse than it is. I have good care and I have learned to be humble in my infirmity. Now, that is the hard lesson. To go from President of the United States to a bed-ridden old man is my just desserts. And funny, too, if you think about it. My enemies are even.
