Saving Grace Moments: Being Preserved by Angels

Have you ever thought to yourself..phew, that turned out better than it should have!
Perhaps just at the very stroke of midnight something happens to make a u-turn of hope back into your stride.
Maybe a person confides words of direction or you have an extra kind cashier befriend you at the supermarket checkout so it makes your shopping experience that much more positive and has a boosting angel reflection on your mood for the rest of the day.

We must remember that life will have its OH MY GOD NO, IS THIS Sh*T REALLY HAPPENING, THIS IS JUST GREAT, HOW MUCH MORE CAN I HANDLE..REALLY?! and then after that brutal weather's debris of anger and pain are sifted through you feel...THANK YOU FOR WHAT MY LIFE IS LIKE, I GOT A LITTLE TOO DRAMATIC, OKAY, SO THINGS DIDN'T GO GREAT TODAY, BUT I KNOW YOU STILL HAVE TO BE THERE..WE'VE BEEN THROUGH A LOT, THINGS WILL TURN OUT GOOD, THANKS FOR THOSE BLESSINGS TODAY.

We all have had Saving Grace Moments in our lives where angels prevented us from getting hurt, provided us concealed train tracks, cliffs, deep trenches, and untouched caves of learning, showed us how to be a more loving human, or awarded us with soul medals of the trade to pass onto another person who might be going through similar battles we once fought.

AMAZING GRACE
Lyrics by John Newton (1725-1807)

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
