Luke 2:10 But the angel said, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.

Many have wondered what an angel looks like. Has he two feet? Six wings or two? Have they ranks among themselves? Can they be seen? 
In a time, where others look for U.F.O.s, they seem to miss one point: Angels are probably that, unidentified flying objects. They bring good news of great joy to the shepherds. They fight the good fight. Do they dance? Do they dance on the famous needle tip? Scripture says they sing. 
Did you ever think heaven might be boring? Think again. That's were the power is and the party, just we can't see it now. Doesn't hinder them being happy and glorious. And full of God's power. Might be a dangerous object to encounter. Or fascinating. Shining brightly with God's light. Some days I can hardly wait to be there, so much beauty and power in one place! Heaven is a wonderful place.

Psalm 145:14 The Lord upholds all those [of His own] who are falling and raises up all those who are bowed down.


I have often felt like falling. But never as much as lately, when everything I have been working for seems to be taken from me. All things I have worked hard for achieving are eluding me, as if given to somebody else. It feels as if I were falling and falling and falling.  With nobody I would have thought of to be there. All alone.
With nobody I would have thought of to be there. All alone.  - But this is not written to complain. The more I fall, the more I become grateful for the falling. There is a beauty in it, that I didn't know about.  I have to trust that God will catch me somehow. Even if I will get wet. Or have been getting wet. I'll do it again. God is awesome and great. The world has become a sweet and meaningful place by falling, by having to give up my own importance. (Even if I am still choking every now and than, I pray God will see me through the choking as well, I feel like a cow to always chew and rechew things... he knows, he can save.)
