Heaven's Little Love Angel is back for another fun adventure! Who will she help to fall in love this time?
The
Superiors left Sarah, “Heaven’s Little Love Angel,” on Earth to
complete the third consecutive and interrelated mission. With simple
instructions to find a mate for Galena Maddox and a dad for six-year-old
Mandy, Sarah should have no problem, right? Well, except that
dyslexic Sarah—known for bungles and goof-ups—creates more mayhem than she ever imagined possible. Pesky human disguises cause her trouble—again. In mortal form, she either injures people or embarrasses herself. Now the earthlings think she’s a fugitive from a mental hospital.
With Galena’s shady past, will Matt Austin, a minister, even consider her as a wife? And will Matt’s hoity-toity church accept Galena if Sarah successfully brings them together? Angels shouldn’t worry, but the task is daunting.
A wedding featuring the love interests from Sarah and the Internet Dating Service just might provide the magical atmosphere necessarily to bring Galena and Matt together.

Could anything be more wonderful? Should she pinch herself?
The
Lieutenant had allowed her, Sarah, the goof-up angel from The
Heavenlies, to stay in Houston, Texas for another mission. The important
superior hadn’t commanded her return for the third time in a row.
Amazing. And this directive promised fun—if she could keep her wings out
of trouble this time.
She’d
received the assignment to bring Galena Maddox and her daughter, Mandy,
together with Matthew Austin. Now that would be a challenge. Mandy,
that adorable child, had sensed an angelic presence before, and actually
spotted Sarah once. The innocent eyes of children could often perceive
the supernatural. How could she work around the little girl without
revealing herself? On the other hand, no one ever believed young humans
when they spoke of angels, so it might not matter.
Six-year-old
Mandy had never known a father, and the sweet child certainly deserved
one. Galena provided excellent mothering skills, but being a single mom
with no financial or physical help would pose a challenge for any
earthling.
Wonder how all those
nice people in such a position managed? Many moms or dads found
themselves in Galena’s identical circumstance. How Sarah admired them!
So much work and determination went into their efforts. God saw their
trials and cared about them. That might be the reason she had the task
of helping Galena.
Well, it was up to her to change the wretched conditions for one deserving mother, Galena.
Sigh.
Galena had given birth to Mandy as an unwed mother—which could become a
problem in Sarah’s mission. Oh sure, no one seemed to care much about
that fact these days—well, God did, of course. Hmmm. Why didn’t
earthlings consider God’s thoughts on physical, intimate matters before
engaging in unseemly behavior? He didn’t approve of such actions without
benefit of marriage, even if the humans thought them permissible. Oh,
well, that was between Him and them, and not her problem.
Her assignment was to
romantically link this man and woman who had inadvertently met. But
then, was anything accidental in God’s celestial plan? Nope. Nothing
escaped His notice, so when little Mandy grew ill and needed
hospitalization, God conveniently sent Matt, a minister, into the
hospital waiting room to meet Galena.
How glorious was that?
These two people met by Divine Intervention, and they had no clue the
Great One had anything to do with it.
What
should Sarah, also known as Heaven’s Little Love Angel, do first on
this mission? The couple knew each other, but unless she did something,
they might not cross paths again soon enough and would miss God’s
present, ready-to-give blessing.
Should
she wait for Galena to make an appearance at the soup kitchen? That’s
where she’d first seen Galena, and she knew how to find that place. If
she did that, she could follow her latest charge home, but the wait
would delay the job. Galena wouldn’t go to the site that fed people
until tomorrow night. The Lieutenant hadn’t said time was of the
essence, but it would be in Galena’s best interest to hurry up and fall
in love with Matt.
How
did people locate each other down here? If they needed an address or
phone number, what did they do? Oh, yeah, that’s right…they often
visited Mr. Google on the Internet. Nope, that option wasn’t one Sarah
wanted to try again—ever! Maybe after refresher classes in The
Heavenlies, she’d attempt it, but not now. Just the thought gave her a
headache. She might take additional education when she reunited with the
other angels. Poopty doopty! Entering a session with newbies might
prove embarrassing, but then again, she still fit into the
‘inexperienced’ category. She’d successfully completed five missions,
but not without major blunders.
How
would it be to sit in a seminar and have the instructor use her as an
example of what not to do on assignment? Not a pleasant thought. Maybe
she should avoid those humiliating assemblies altogether. Oh sure, the
teachers used positive words, and no one ever made fun of her, but
still. Could she help it if she was dyslexic? Directions would forever
be a problem. She was also known as Sarah the Goofball. When on Planet
Earth, thinking things through simply wasn’t her strong suit. She came
up with ideas, acted on them, and then suffered the consequences.
Advance planning might be one way to improve her behavior.
“Okay,
Sarah, before you get down in the dumps as the humans say, and start
feeling sorry for yourself, get a grip. Let’s review facts. Galena
Maddox works as a cashier in a large discount chain store, and her money
runs out at the end of the month. She attends night college classes and
takes her daughter with her. Her new friend, Brittany, tutors her in
Algebra. Galena once led a misspent life and doesn’t know who Mandy’s
father is, but now she’s a Christian and lives a different lifestyle.
Mandy recently had surgery.
“Super.
That sums up what you know about Galena, now what do you know about
Matthew Austin?” Sarah scrunched her nose and held fingers up, one at a
time. “First off, he’s single. Number two, he’s nice looking. Number
three, he prefers to be called Matt. Number four, he pastor’s a church.”
She turned her hand over and gazed at the thumb waiting to show itself.
“Well, apparently I know only four things about Matt. Okay. Only one
thing left to do. Call for help.”
She
glanced up, spoke her request, and waited. Would Gabriella appear? She
chewed her lip and looked about. No one materialized. Sigh. How weird.
Did she not ask appropriately? Try again. Maybe the Lieutenant had been
busy. “Mother Goodness, would you send someone down with a file on my
two charges? I’d be grateful for your help.”
With
her head turned toward the heavens, she saw two huge, bare feet
sticking out beneath a white garment floating down to her. “Can’t be
Gabriella. She has tiny appendages. Celeste makes two of me, but I don’t
remember her tootsies being that enormous. I doubt those giant things
belong to Mother Goodness. She covers her toes with white slippers.”
“Hi, Sarah.”
Christian! It had been a long while since she’d seen his colossal, shoeless extremities.
“Hi, Christian, I’m happy to see you. What have you been doing lately?”
“I’ve been in North America, up in the state of Idaho. Ever been there?”
“No.
I’ve stayed in Texas. I’d enjoy visiting other parts of this country,
but I’d probably be twice as lost there as I am here.”
“It
is beautiful country our Creator designed just north of here. My
assignment was to bring together a man and woman who had been
sweethearts in high school. If they’d become husband and wife when they
first considered wedded bliss, they would be celebrating fifty years
together. Instead they married other people, but they never forgot their
first love. After their spouses died, they looked each other up on
social media.”
“Never heard of social media.”
“It’s a cyberspace tool. I helped them find each other on Facebook.”
“What
in the world could that gizmo be? Is it some kind of doohickey where
people stand at a computer and make silly faces at the screen?”
Christian
laughed. “Not exactly. It’s a public forum where individuals post
attractive personal, profile pictures and those images spin around the
world on the Internet.”
“Oh,
my stars! I hope the Superiors never ask me to tangle with that thingy.
No telling what kind of mess I’d make. I had enough trouble getting
Karen and Jeremy together on an Internet Dating Service. Can you imagine
what I’d do if I had a bunch of photos staring back at me?” Sarah
squeezed one eye shut. “On the other hand, if their semblances had been
on that service they used, I might not have had as much confusion.” She
shuddered. “I don’t want to use computers.”
“But
you did, and you are now more familiar with mankind’s toys. It was good
for you. Facebook is an excellent place to learn new things about
people. You should set up a page. Call yourself Sarah Wingspand and
invite friends to like you.”
“My friends reside in The Heavenlies. I don’t have any down here.”
“Oh, you don’t need to know people. Just publish an image and request the public to friend you.”
“Huh? People who don’t know each other get in touch with other strangers and become buddies?”
“Yes. Often that is the case. They may never meet in this life, only in the one to come, but they visit over the Internet.”
“That’s the weirdest thing I’ve ever heard of. Whoever came up with that idea must be making tons of money.”
Thanks Jacqui!
