The Angel in My Life

Have you ever met an angel? Well, I had…and this is the story about him….

Once upon a time, God gave a baby angel to a young couple. He grew up in a small town called Emerald Bay together with his parents and younger brother.

But little did we know, this boy is an angel! He brought smiles to everyone’s hearts and it was always a joy to see him. When he was growing up, his parents taught him good values so that he may grow up to be a fine young man. And grew up he did! He grew up into a handsome young man. He was always kind, generous, caring, helpful and loving….hmm….and many many more good values…..

Wherever he went, the sun always shone in your face, the flowers bloom and your world becomes a happier place to be in. When he laughs, the stars shine brighter and magically, your heart fills with abundant joy. With his kind heart, he tends to those who are lost, who are worried, who are sad and who are sick. He listens intently with care and parts lovely words that take away their sorrows. He was such a joy to be with!

Then one day, God called upon him and said, “My dear son, it is time for you to come home. But before you do, I have a task for you. I will grant you a pair of beautiful wings for your journey home.” ‘What was the task?’ the angel boy thought. He thought and thought about it in his dreams but he still didn’t know. Actually, God had great plans for him.

Weeks went by and the angel decided to go the beach with his friends. It was a beautiful sunny day and the sea was bright turquoise in colour. If you look closely, you can even see the fishes swimming in the sea! “Wow! What a beautiful sight!” the angel boy thought and he thanked God for blessing this lovely place.

He and his friends went down to the bay and frolicked about in the water. Splish and splash! They were having so much fun!

Suddenly, the sky turned grey and the waves got rough. Two different currents went crashing into the bay and swept everyone out into the open sea. Oh no! Everyone was swimming hard towards the shore. They caught the rocks and pulled their friends one by one onto the rocks. The last two was a young lady and the angel boy himself. As they were swimming towards the rocks, the current was so strong that the young lady had much difficulty reaching them. Without thinking twice, the angel boy performed a most heroic act. He pushed the lady onto the rocks to safety but, he was swept out by the waves.

Then God came to the angel boy and said, “My dear son, I am so proud of you! This was the task I set out for you and you did so well. It is now time to come home.” With that, God gave him a pair of large, white beautiful wings. And God said, “My dear son, do not worry about your family and friends. They are ever so proud of you as I am of you. Because of you, they have and will always be blessed with happiness. Soon, they will reunite with us in My home.” With that, the angel boy flew back home together with God.

The angel’s name is ZiOn Kerk.
