I actually have several items together in one thing that I collect. The things that I collect represent the person and what it is stored in, in my room, represents the individual.  The person this is representing is myself.  This is how I see myself. 


I collect Angels. I have about 45-65 of them at the moment.  They are just beautiful and yet a few are kind of ugly to be honest! Not all of God’s angels are pretty though!

An angel represents many things to me as I see into myself. An angel is “Of God”. I believe I am a child, “Of God”. Some angels, hopefully, play music and sing in the heavenly chorus. I would not mind singing and playing the piano myself in Heaven!   Yes, I would make a good heavenly chorus angel, if needed! Angels are dedicated to God! Throughout all my illnesses and current chronic ones, I have wavered, but my FAITH has remained strong! I could have never have survived without it!

These angels are on thin glass though, and I have to be very careful when dusting and putting them back on the shelf. I believe what I am trying to say is angels take grandiose risks everyday. Saving our lives, for instance.


The whole kit-n-caboodle of angels is in a fine curio cabinet that my Mother got at a garage sale for about 3/4^th’s off the normal price at a regular department store!  I was so excited when she got it! That and mainly I was running out of space in my room because all my angels were taking up the place! (grin) It is a handcrafted piece of furniture, with glass on all sides. So, you must be careful! It has a door on the front and wood on top. It reminds me of me; breakable yet strong. Mother got me cheap but I am worth every damn dollar!
