Uncovering Myths about Angels: How Your Favorite Angel Figurines Came to Be

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

Angel figurines are popular items. Collectors fill their homes with shelves of ceramic and wooden angels, pictures are hung over the doorways that read, “This house is protected by Angels!” and key chains are given as gifts that plead, “Never drive faster than your guardian angel can fly!” The angel craze is growing, but every student of the Bible is aware that those angelic images of beautiful, peaceful women in flowing robes with snowy-white wings, are not quite true to life.

There are many myths about angels that have been accepted as truths in the world today.

1. Angels are not people who have died. Angels are created beings, just like us. We do not earn wings and a halo for our good behavior when we die.

2. Not all angels are good. Lucifer convinced one third of all the angels in heaven to revolt against God with him. These angels chose to follow Lucifer rather than God. These unholy angels are now called demons, but they are still fallen angels.

3. There are no baby angels. Angels do not marry nor do they have children with other angels.

4. Angels cannot die. God created them as immortal beings.

5. Angels are not all-knowing. They do the bidding of the Father. The Bible proclaims that no man knows the day or the hour of the end of the Earth except the Father in heaven, not even the angels of heaven.

6. There are no female angels. Because angels are described as having beautiful features and are clothed in flowing white garments, they may be mistaken for women, (thus the popularity of beautiful women angel figurines) but the Bible has no mention of a single female angel in heaven.

7. Angels hold a lower status than humans in the heavenly hierarchy. Human saints will judge all angels .Man was created lower than angels, but he will sit in judgment of them at the end of time.

8. Hell was never created for man. God created Hell as a place of confinement for Lucifer and his followers. God’s intention was that no man perishes, but all would come to Him.

9. Angels and demons cannot separate us from God by force. If we are far from God, it is a matter of free will.

10. Angels do not have halos, but their countenance may seem to glow from being in the presence of God.

11. Angels do not always have wings. Although they are created with wings, they are spiritual beings who can take on many different forms when needed, even disguising themselves as men.

12. Angels do not sit on clouds and play harps all day. They are God’s messengers and do His work. They comfort, protect and watch over humans. They praise God incessantly. They are strong warriors, able to wipe out an entire civilization when so instructed. They fight against fallen angels in spiritual battle day and night, without ceasing. They carry the souls of the dead saints to heaven.

13. Angels are not unorganized masses of beings that do whatever they please all day. They are arranged into a type of military ranking and give and receive orders.

14. Man is warned not to worship angels. Worship and adoration are reserved for God alone.

15. Man’s greatest battle is not against other men, but against the evil spirits or fallen angels.

Traditional angel figurines may not be historically accurate depictions of these messengers of God, but for many, they serve as a reminder that forces unseen are at work around us and that God is in control of the universe, making them popular symbols of comfort and faith.

Baby Picture Frames Make A Unique Gift

These frames can be used in the nursery or any room in the house that the parents choose.They are no more expensive than giving an outfit that will only be worn a few times.Baby picture frames also leave a longer lasting impression on the reciepient because they have the baby picture frames as a reminder of the love and care that you have for them.

African American angel figurines

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

My church recently had a program honoring African American heritage. After the program there were tables set up in the foyer that had displays of books, tapes, CDs, paintings, framed artwork, and more. I looked on one table and saw it had all types of figurines but the ones that caught my eye were the African American angel figurines.

They were all so unique and beautiful. I tried to think if I knew anyone who collected angel figurines that would like one of these beautiful pieces. The ones I saw had an emotion about them. They truly brought out the peace and tranquility you would expect an angel to have. The faces had great detail and I found them very soothing. There is no better gift to give a person than the gift of peace and calm.

I remember after my father passed away, I would have given anything for the peace I had experienced that day. What a great way to honor someone’s memory or to remember the joy you had with that person than by having an angel that reminds you of them.

African American angel figurines have a way of bringing out rare beauty and combining it with the spiritual wholeness that angels are known to bring. Do you know anyone who collects angels? If so, African American angel figurines would be a tremendous addition to their collection. They are spiritual pieces that seem to tell a story all their own.

Some of them represent protection. These are great gifts for someone having a new baby, someone getting married, or even a person who is grieving. You could also get one for a child’s room.

There are figurines that can be used as night lights and ones that represent different family members. You can buy a mother, sister or daughter angel to give to your family member as a cherished keepsake.

The Internet has made it even easier to find a good selection of figurines to chose from. With just a click, you can have a wealth of information about these collectibles at your disposal.

Angels mean different things for different people. So, pick out the one that best suits the person of whom you are buying. Think about adding a poem, note or a special card to your gift to help create a lasting memory of a treasured present.

Stylish Wrought Iron Wine Racks - Vintage Look With a Modern Twist

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

Wine is so much more than a drink these days. With the right storage a few bottles of wine become a decorators dream. And there isn’t much that gives an air of sophistication as much as a few well placed, bottles of good wine. Whether you drink bubbly, red, white or a combination you’ll find a wrought iron wine rack to suit your decor and personality. If you can’t, then have one custom designed.

These range from a one bottle holders on the bench, table, floor or even suspended from the wall, to as dozens of bottles storage. The great part is wrought iron wine racks are not only stylish and attractive but they are very functional as well. If price is a factor, these wine racks come in some very affordable price ranges. These make a perfect gift idea teamed with a bottle of wine, or alone.

The designs available are endless really. It depends a lot on the artistic flair of the person creating them. Like people they range from flamboyant to quietly understated and everywhere in between. Wall mounted racks are a great space saver and the sculptured racks bring out the flavor of your home. Freestanding versions can be in tower form or spreading luxuriously outwards. All manner of animals, leaves, vines and timber combine to make some very delightful and beautiful storage you’ll be proud to show off to your guests.

Wrought Iron can be traced back to Roman times and was the metal blacksmiths worked with. Even in modern design it gives an Olde Worlde feel to your room. The signature black color fits any decor and the designs can meld into the background or take center place in a room. Of course, through history the metal was used for the practical side of construction. Fences, gates, railing, frameworks were made from wrought iron and even then the ornamental properties of working with the metal became obvious.

Wrought iron can sometimes be passed off with mild steel and the difference is tricky to tell. Mild steel can be bent and worked as easily as wrought iron but it has other inferior qualities. For instance mild steel has corrosive properties and is often identified by the lack of finesses in workmanship. Mild steel is the modern replacement for wrought iron and it is cheaper but real wrought iron weathers better. Some metalworkers are bringing the old techniques of forging back into the art of working with wrought iron.

With the understandings of modern technology combined with the charm of vintage design and usage, wrought iron is now a much sought after material to bring into the home. A metal once known as practical and hard-wearing can now be described as elegant and innovative. The smaller version are shaped in everything from winding grape vines to insects, and the larger wine racks bring a very impressive and even majestic feel to any room.

Even if you don’t drink a lot of wine, you probably have friends that do so having a wrought iron wine rack means you can easily store a small amount of bottles for visits. Some are designed in a carrier style enabling you to pop a bottle of wine or two in and carry it easily. Some are as simple as resting over the neck of a bottle and hanging two glasses from either side. Practical and stylish, a wrought iron wine rack is a great addition to the functionality of your home.

Every time a child is born, most people bring on the pink or blue blankets and the same old gifts. Sometimes gifts are so similar the new parents end up having a yard sale or giving gifts away because they have so many duplicates.

Personalized items are always a big hit for baby, and some parents keep such items in a special box to be given to the child when he or she is older. Besides, who doesn’t like to see their name on something! For starters, you could get an embroidered, personalized pillow, perhaps even with a removable cover so it is easy to wash. You could also do picture frames, a personalized baby’s first Bible with a fringe or a baby scrapbook.

For the diaper totin’ cowpoke you could purchase some diaper pin holsters. These are so cute. They have little guns in them so they look like they’re in the Wild West. For the Christmas tree you could get a baby’s first ornament with a western theme. Be sure to have it personalized as well.

Let baby kick up his or her heels in a pair of western boot slippers. Some have velour exteriors with western trim. Make sure they have a suede bottom for traction. Something else for the young’un is an adorable boot Christmas stocking. You can get them in pink for the lil’ cowgirl or denim for the lil’ cowboy. They are quite the conversation starter.

When they are ready for some grub, you can get the little one a dinnerware set. Most usually come with a cup, plate and bowl and some have utensils. They have a variety of western themes like a buckaroo, chuckwagon, cacti, saddle, boots, sheriff star and teepees.

A snuggly fleece blanket for the little one to sleep with is another great baby gift idea. Be sure it is machine washable. The perfect thing for the little cowgirl would be a fringed vest and skirt with leather drawstring waist, embellished with silver conchos and studs. A little cowboy would be ready to hit the trail with a suede chap and vest set. Get one with fringed trim, silver conchos and studs.

Monday, January 14th, 2008

Angelic garden decorations such as cherub statues, birdfeeders and plant markers can bring the romance outdoors. These little angels can look over your garden for you and may even scare aware a few hungry rabbits!

A cherub themed baby shower and nursery are suitable for either a little girl or a little boy. Those adorable chubby creatures will get you in the mood for your own little bundle of joy! You can even use a larger cherub for party guests to compete in a diapering race. For another cherub-themed party game, hide cherubs throughout the party room and see who can locate every little baby.

Make your own Holiday cards with plain card stock and cut outs of cherubs. You can even scan and print your favorite cherub images and decoupage small gift items like flower pots and keepsake boxes to give as gifts. Fill your cherub decorated box with fine chocolates and watch your sweetie melt with appreciation.

Add cherubs to your place cards at your next formal gathering and use cherub statues surrounded by flowers as your table centerpieces.

Sneak a small cherub attached to a steamy note into your sweetie’s lunch to build anticipation for a special romantic evening alone.

Paint a few groupings of cherubs on your child’s ceiling to lend a playful and loving air to the décor.

Collect and frame old Valentine’s Cards featuring cherubs. Vintage images in an elegant frame will suit nearly any home décor.
