two people with broken spirits lift each other up above their fears of life
                        Broken Angel Wings

    One lonely night as I was sleeping two angels appeared to me in a dream.  One angel had a broken wing on the left and the other angel had a broken wing on the right.  Neither one could fly and both were fearful of trying again. Both were unhappy at thought of staying here and not being able to return to heaven. They decided by holding hands and believe with all their heart that they would fly again.  After all, they would have two good wings and the union of their prayers would be stronger than, one prayer by itself.  They gave it a try and to my amazement it actually worked.
    The dream helped renew my strengh in faith and prayer.  Somehow I felt there was another purpose in the dream.  A couple of years later the lightbulb went off in my head and I knew what God was showing me.  I had left my husband of thirty years because of abuse in every form imaginable.  I had left several times, but I would always go back.  I thought I stayed because of love but it wasn't.  No it was fear of him finding me and killing me as he had threatened and tried to do so many times.  For some reason I felt like one of the angels that I would never fly again.  It seemed my life was over either way.  But, fear is the opposite of faith and after struggling with deep depression, I finally moved to another state and started my life over.  I was so lonely.  I kept crying out to the Lord for help.  At that time a hug would have done wonders.  I asked the Lord to please send someone to love me.   
      A friend signed me up for Match.com and guess what happened.  Yes, there was Mr. Right waiting for me.  Not only was he what I had been searching for all my life, but he was the other angel.  He had been in a marriage that had almost destroyed him.  Also, he was praying that God would send him someone to love.  Trust me the dream about the two angels was true.  Maybe we didn't have broken wings but we had broken spirits.  We are now married and flying higher than we have ever flown in our lives. We thank God every day for union of love that takes us higher than we could have ever imagined.  Dreams do come true.
