Playing the piano relaxes me. When I sit down at the piano, I know that when I get up an hour later, I’ll be rejuvenated and ready to take on (if not the world) at least the weekly ironing. But when I need more than just a ‘jump start’ on my day—-when I require solace and comfort, I take out my gospel sheet music. I’ve taken out my gospel sheet music quite a bit over the years, but as I’ve aged, I’ve added to my collection.
I lost both of my parents inside of three years, and at the funeral mom’s friend sang “The Old Rugged Cross.”Mom passed five years ago now, but on the anniversary of her death in September I sit down and play that beautiful hymn. It makes me feel her presence in the room with me and that she just requested that I play her favorite song. When mom visited she would ask me to play the piano and I would go from Broadways Show tunes to her favorite song in a matter of minutes. Her song was “Old Rugged Cross”.
When my dad passed away, I had only to play “His Eye is On the Sparrow” to feel less alone. I love all kinds of sheet music, but I don’t need ‘all kinds of music’ in quite the same way I need the gospel sheet music. Playing gospel reconnects me to the people in my life who are gone, and I have only to play the hymns to bring them into my life again.
Gospel sheet music is an easy way for me to feel good about the world and me. The vibrations I get from playing gospel music provide me with a relief in my soul and my spiritual being. I am very glad the so many songwriters have chosen to write gospel music and therefore provide with an endless supply of gospel sheet music.

The concept of Guardian Angels is very popular today: someone to watch over you and keep you out of harm’s way. To believe in a personal guardian angel seems very popular nowadays. The custom of the guardian angel goes back thousands of years. If you need scientific proof: there isn’t any! If you’re at all familiar with the bible, you’ll know that the conception of the angel as an intermediary between God and man runs throughout it.
The belief in guardian angels doesn’t seem to any less than it was all those years ago and I wonder why this is. You would think that in this more cynical time, there would be less interest in angels, especially ones that watch over your shoulder. The bible tells us that a guardian angel is a spiritual being who has been assigned to assist people on earth. Even if you don’t believe this, can you recall a time when something amazing and inspirational has happened to you and you have put it down to chance, mere coincidence or sometimes a down right miracle? Believers will explicate that this is our guardian angels directing us in the correct direction. What about all the disasters that befall us in our lives? Where were the guardian angels then? Believers tell us that angels don’t always step in to help because we need to learn to handle problems for ourselves.
Is it feasible for anyone to contact his guardian angel? One way to contact them is to internally ask a question and to listen internally for the answer. Another is to visualize meeting your guardian angel and having a conversation. You may be very sceptical and wonder how you can be confident your guardian angel is really there when you attempt to get in touch. Some reported signs of their presence are a stream of warm air, a white feather or just a sensation of internal warmth and ease.
Even if angels exist, does every single person have a guardian angel? According to ancient beliefs the answer is yes. To think that you have a guardian angel watching over you is a very comforting thought.
I have an angels costumes website and so am fascinated by the whole topic of angels. The site includes adult angel costumes and costumes for children.
