Angels of Kindness

I love our prayer book.  After 6 years of membership I still manage to stumble upon jewels that I've somehow never seen before and they pierce my heart with their beauty.  This is one:
 
Angels are another name for feelings.
When we love and act with kidness
we create angels of love and kindness;
when we hate and act with violence
we create angels of hatred and violence.
It is our job to fill the world with angels of love:
messengers of kindness
that link people together as one family.
