An Angel's Hand

A while ago, I entered a darkened phase of my life, where I seemed to have trouble on all sides.  No matter what I did, it seemed as though dogs were trying to bite me at every turn. I spent a lot of time on my knees praying for help but not wanting to look around, fearful of what else would befall me.
When I gained enough courage to lift up my eyes and look around, instead of dogs surrounding me and biting at my heels, I found hands outstretched and willing to help. What I learned was that when I put fear behind me, the dogs disappeared too.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

"Like the brilliant red of an Indian Paint Brush in the desert landscape, when you raise your eyes and glance around, you will see angel's hands already reaching out to you in reception." tc
