Angels on Your Shoulder

What are your favorite angel movies?

Thursday July 2, 2009

Aloha everyone,

When I think of movies about angels I always think of John Travolta as Michael. The line I remember best is, "I'm not that kind of angel." I loved the scene where he fought with the bull and saved the dog's life.

The next movie that comes to mind is the City of Angels. I loved the scene where the angels all go to the beach to watch the sunset. I also enjoyed Robin Williams in What Dreams Must Come. Richard Dreyfuss in Always touched my heart. I also found Meet Joe Black and Defending Your Life interesting. There is a wonderful list of angel movies on Beliefnet and I would love to hear about your favorite movies too.

With love and aloha,
Susan

Yes indeed, there really are angels on your shoulder now and always.

My most favorite Angel movie was Michael with John Travolta. I saw it and loved it. I recently lost my dad and most people cry when they lose a loved one but I did not.

Aloha,

Theresa I think that is wonderful that your camera didn't work! What a gift to have those beautiful memories of your neighbor tending her garden. Change is part of life. I live in an area with beautiful old trees and frequently when someone builds they bring in a bulldozer and clear the whole lot. Different strokes for different folks.

James, care to post titles of any of your favorite movies. Linda and Ruth I love the movie Micheal too.

With love and aloha,
Susan

Thank you so much PAM and SUSAN for your comments. You have given me much comfort and understanding. I try not to feel anger or bad wishes towards anyone. I think that I am still grieving over my neighbor's death and ultimately my sweet momma who died 2 yrs ago. I do have vivid memories of her beautiful flower garden and trees and of her in her wide brimmed hat on a crisp sunny day. It also reminds me of how good she was to momma and often brought her fresh flowers from her garden. I now think of both of them in God's special garden in Heaven which cannot be surpassed in beauty and peace, free from the pain and worries of their earthly life.

I have to apologize, I am just realizing that this ia a forum for favortite angel movies and I am a real goof for adding this topic under this forum. Thanks for responding to my concern with kindness anyway. AFter some thought I think that my favorite movie of this type is " Field Of Dreams ". I don't know if it fits in the same category or not. But, I always sort of thought of the baseball players that came to the field as being spirits from Heaven. I loved how Kevin Costner was able to mend his relationship with his father and reconnect. And, also how he brought James Earl Jones character and the doctor, who's name I can't remember, to the field to fullfill their childhood dreams and cross over into Heaven.

The last 5 yrs of my momma's life, she was bedridden and I cared for her with the help of some very special earthly angel friends and feel that God had given me this time to reconnect with my momma and maybe make ammends for a time in my life when we didn't get along very well. So many people never get the chance to right a wrong or say their sorry for something before it's too late. I was blessed to have been given this second chance. And, though my heart aches for my momma and also my husband who died 6 yrs ago, I will keep their good memories close to me and hope to be with them again. They are definitely in a better place. Thank so much for listening to me and being so supportive and kind. Just when you think you are alone or lonely, there are people out there just like yourself and your readers waiting to lend comforting advice. And of course, never forget that God is always there and our Guardian Angels who I believe are in our lives in many different forms, and the spirits of our loved ones who have passed watching over us. That is what keeps me going day to day. Thank all of you so much.

God Bless You

Stanley, I agree It's a Wonderful Life is a wonderful classic. I am glad I get to see it every Christmas.

Theresa, I am so glad you posted here. I believe there are no accidents and that this was the absolutely perfect place for you to share about the losses of your mom and the neighbor and the gardens.

My dad died a few months ago and I have such fond memories of our last days together. There were years we didn't speak but the gift of making him breakfast and taking care of him in his last days wiped that all out. May the angels on your shoulder love you and fill your heart with joy.

With love and aloha,
Susan
