Kneeling Angel Story:
Several thousand years ago, winter approached bringing a flurry of activity among the angelic chorus in heaven. Preparations for the winter concert were in progress, taking the efforts of thousands. Special robes sprinkled with stardust were fashioned of white. Wings were kept polished to glisten even in the dark, blue sky.
One young angel watched the excitement from afar with longing in her heart. She wanted to join the chorus, for her heart was filled with love for God and she knew that singing brought Him joy. But try as she might, the little angel couldn’t carry a tune, no matter how hard she practiced. So she did what she could to help the other angels, tidying halos and smoothing out robes so they twinkled like a galaxy of stars.
When the pageant ended, the angels were weary from singing so loudly. They could barely fly and didn’t know what to do when this important message was heralded by the archangels. Angel choristers were needed to go to earth at midnight, for miraculous birth was about to take place in Bethlehem in the Holy Land.
What a quandary! Most of the angels were too weary to think about singing. Not so this little angel. She wanted to add her voice to this special occasion. She prayed and prayed for an answer, and quickly realized that her gift of song to God was one that could not be held back.
Off she went to a private cloud, fluffing her robe and filling her head with every sweet thought she’d ever had. Then she opened her mouth and out came the most beautiful notes ever heard! Could they really be coming from her, she wondered? She sang again and realized that the songs came directly from her heart.
At midnight, God called out to the little angel. She went to the appointed cloud and instantly found herself dressed in a wonderful robe of shimmering blue. A blue sash was wrapped about her waist and a golden band tied her hair. Ready at last, the little angel flew with great speed toward earth, lighting beside a tiny stable. “Sing your song,” a familiar voice told her, as a reassuring tap n her wings drove her forward. “You have been chosen from many to honor our new Lord.”
