She bent over and looked into a puddle and said, "Nana! Look! I'm an angel."
A few years ago, on an isolated beach in Florida, early one morning, as I scuffed along downhearted, I beseeched my late mom and God for an answer, as my faith was faltering because of a family tragedy. I came upon a woman writing in a prayer journal...the only other person on the beach. My mom's very words came out of her mouth. If she wasn't an angel, I believe the angels were instrumental in putting her in my path.
Chicken Soup sent me a "you've made the cut" contract today, but the final decision will be made in October for Chicken Soup Finding Your Faith.
My mom always quoted scripture and often said that we never know when we are entertaining angels unaware. Many of you are my angel friends too. You provide me with uplifting words, you make me laugh, you support me, and I thank each of you who read my blog.
Inside scoop for writers: Chicken Soup will be doing a book on ANGELS, so think about an encounter you have had with someone who just may have been an angel on earth.

What a darling photo of Nicole, looking at herself in the puddle.
Who in the heck needs TV when you have a cutie like that in your midst?
Again, no such thing as a coincidence...
Linda, cut yourself some slack as I'm sure most mothers feel the same way - hindsight. We'd all do things differently, I think. Anyway, congratulations and I'll be thinking of a story for that submission. You're an angel!
Congratulations on the contract...and on your little angel in the puddle! Thanks for the heads up!
Angels are very real; more than just some sentimental imagination. Perhaps I will have to tell my 'angel' encounter to Chicken Soup. Where do I get more info?
Super photos of little Nicole, especially being an angel! Bless! I firmly believe in angels, and wasn't it just meant to be that you came upon that person on the beach. We have to open our minds to seeing angels in strange places. Every stranger could well be an angel. Good post my friend, and well done on the Contract. I'm sure you will make the cut!
She is so cute in the pictures, lovely!
Congrats on the contract, Linda! You are amazing!

That puddle picture is priceless! I've given some thought to the Angel Anthology, but am waiting to see what happens!!
Precious little grandaughter/angel.
I think we all entertain angels unawares and don't realise for many a long year.
Hi Linda....Loved your granddaughter's angel story and photo. Thanks for sharing.
There are angels around us all the time. I'm sure of it.
Take care, Linda. Susan
Awe your granddaughter is an ANGEL!
