Here is a poem of reflection on Good Friday and the events that took place. Darkest Hours by Evangeline B. White ©2018 On the Mount drops fell from His forehead down Sweat and blood dripped when no one was around. The others fell asleep, unable to pray It was the beginning of the darkest day. An angel came and ministered to Jesus Gave Him strength for the price He'd pay to free us. The crowd who praised Him the week before Came to betray Him, honor Him no more. With swords and false words they came to indict Rome against the Savior, yet He withheld His might. His disciples scattered no more in sight They thought this wasn't good and shrunk in fright. Brought before Pilate and Herod He was Beaten, mocked insulted, spit upon because Darkness reigned during those hours When the Son of God relinquished His powers. Angels could have come at the sound of His voice But they watched and waited as this was God's choice. Women mourned and wailed for the cross was His fate. On His shoulders sat the whole world's weight. A crown of thorns was forced upon His head. The charge against Him, "King of the Jews" it read. His skin ripped apart from His head to His feet Beyond recognition He had been beat. With a final cry He breathed His last breath. It was the darkest day, the Savior's death. #goodfriday #thinkonthesethings #Jesus #cross #darkness #Easter #angels #angelbooks #kidsangelbooks #wiya #whereisyourangel #Savior

We got for ye, a St. Patty's Day rhyme which is not really like a limerick but will do just fine. So whether you are wearing or drinking something green, enjoy this angel tale on the screen. An Irish Angel Poem by Evangeline B. White Feeling green on this Irish Saint's day, An angel came down from heaven to say, "It's not about whiskey and beer, and parades with flagrant cheer. The day celebrates lives born anew, With great hope for all, not just a few. St. Patrick told of a love so divine. The Irish turned from their sins and got in line. He faced the Druids and their gods they threw down. They worshipped Jesus in the hills and all through town. A great revival in Ireland it was. From a slave to an immigrant just because Patrick found the love of a Savior. That love so changed his behavior. He travelled through Ireland to those who made him a slave and told them he knew the God who saw what they did but loved them too. The Patron Saint of Ireland's heart had changed. And his mission to tell others did not wane. So now you know how it all came to be. St. Patrick's Day's about changed hearts you see." Before Patrick was a saint, he was an atheist. Through some divine dreams and circumstances, he became a Christian and was convicted to go back to Ireland. In the country that enslaved him, he told everyone of a Savior- Jesus- who saved his soul. Christianity spread because of his testimony. He started many churches, monasteries, and Christian towns in his newfound home of Ireland. And the rest is history.

That's a lot of young ones. Today is a day to remember these kids. It is Children's Grief Awareness Day, a national movement to bring awareness to grieving children's needs. In Central Florida, New Hope For Kids has over 450 children in their grief program. They offer a supportive and caring environment for kids in their grief journey by giving them hope and healing. They also provide scholarships, holiday gifts, summer camps, and more. Since kids and families are what Where Is Your Angel?™ is all about, we are proud to support New Hope for Kids for the 2nd year in a row. Tonight they have their annual walk called Hope for the Season. They will walk around Cranes Roost Park, wear blue, and hold a vigil for the loved ones they have lost. This is a special time in the healing journey for these families in the upcoming holiday season. If you would like to donate an angel book set that comes with a plush angel to one of these kids, go to our website, www.whereisyourangel.com, enter the coupon code “donate” and we will deliver the book sets to New Hope For Kids on December 6th.

I was asked to come in and talk to them about the writing process. The students were impressive, interactive, and engaged! They had some great ideas of what genre of books or materials they would like to write. During our discussion, we talked about the 4 steps in the writing process. The two things you do before you pick up the pen, next steps to get the story cranking and characters developed, and then putting on the finishing touches. It was a great time. We were so glad to be there and share with these budding writers steps to get them on their way to success – whether it be a school paper or a story they write for the masses. #writingprocess #highschoolkids #angels #whereisyourangel #successfulwriting #speaker #engagement #angelwatchingoverme #writing #greatkids  Have you ever sat through a movie and at the end of it thought, "Can't get back those two hours."? Well, this weekend my family and I went to see a good family movie that is worth your time. In fact, at the end of the movie, everyone in the audience clapped. We went to see Camp Hideout. An adventurous movie about kids at camp but with a twist. One of my children came back from a camp retreat recently so it seemed apropros for us to watch this movie. Christopher Lloyd, aka Doc from the Back to the Future series, is one of the central figures in the movie. He played a very imposing character at the camp with a ferocious sidekick. Kids of all ages will appreciate Camp Hideout as there are younger campers and older campers. This movie's main character, Noah, plays a kid who is in trouble and his last chance to redeem himself is by going to this camp. Little did Noah know, his wayward ways were going to catch up to him here. The antics amp up when this kids camp turns into a Home Alone type riotous act. There are lessons about team work, acceptance, how appearances can be deceiving, friendship, and more. This is a good story with some points to ponder for family discussion. We give Camp Hideout three angel wings out of four.

We were invited to read some of the books in their series at the Winter Park Library. After each reading, we engaged the kids in one of the activities found in the back of the books. It was a wonderful and well attended event where, at times, parents and kids were spilling out into the hallway. Across the U.S., there were more than 300 libraries in 46 states where Brave Books story times took place. That's a lot of kiddos coming to story time! If Brave Books aren't in your local library, reach out to your librarian and ask them to purchase them and place them on their shelves. Where Is Your Angel?™ is proud to have an affiliate partnership with Brave Books. #BRAVEBooks #SYATL2023 #KirkCameron #WinterParkLibrary #Whereisyourangel? #kidsbooks #libraryevent Kids rocker Mr. Richard, known and loved by those young and not as young, penned an angel song for us. We put pictures to the music and created Where Is Your Angel?™'s first music video! This song just might be up for a Grammy with it's catchy tune. So tap your foot and sing along. This ditty may get stuck in your head. If you've got your angel, grab him and dance along. Then forward this song. #whereisyourangel #mr.richard #kidsgottadance #kidsgottaangel #kidsrocker #angelsong #grammytime #angelwatchingoverme #kids #kidsbooks #angelbooks One thing that is a staple on our family's Easter menu every year is Resurrection Rolls. Not only are these rolls yummy, but they tell a tale. Not just any tale, but THE story of why we celebrate Easter. Jesus is no longer in the tomb - He is alive! The fun part about making these rolls is you can make them with your family. Kids of just about any age can help (and enjoy helping) make them. Here is a quick video of how to make these rolls and add them to your Easter menu too. You will also see where to find the written menu on our Pinterest page. Enjoy making, baking, and eating them!
