The Lord himself goes before you and will be
with you; He will never leave you nor forsake
you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.
Deuteronomy 31:8
Angels Gather Here.... is dedicated to the blessings and grace each and every precious child God provides in our
lives. God is so faithful. He will use the most unlikely people to do what needs to be done. He will never let you down. I've learned that there is something worse than children suffering and dying and that is the child that have to go through it alone. There are many children, that for what ever reason, go through life alone, somewhere in a large understaffed facility, in the corner of a hospital nursery or home where the family does not get information and/or support and help to understand how wonderful in God's eyes their child is. We all need prayer and love and so do they. I am convinced that
NO child is so disabled that he or she does not respond to love. God's love. Sometimes they do not outwardly show it, perhaps because they are being held captive in a body that doesn't work but they feel it inside. Their soul is well and whole. I have felt tight, stiff, broken little bodies relax in my arms when doctors have said that they would respond to nothing.Some people would say these children are not worth protecting in the womb and some are rejected after birth by society. I know God does not reject these little ones. My desire is to become more Christ-like in every part of my life.
God asks Christians to love and provide for the little children,
the widows, the homeless, even unto the least of these.
These little ones have been teachers with the wisdom and
strength of Angels.
Meet The Family
My name is Rachael and my husband is Ron. We live in central Indiana. Ron has been an Optician since 1961 and keeps trying to retire but loves his work and the people he works with. I have worked with music most of my teen/adult life as my brother owned a music store. The most exciting years of working away from home were when I was working ( but it was not work) with my friends who at the time were known as 'The Gaither Trio'. My what good times they were! I also love anything medical and spent a few years working in a hospital as a ward secretary. I liked that a lot as well. For most of the past 25 + years I have been a stay at home mom.
We are involved in our church and we love Southern Gospel and Contemporary Christian music. Our music collection goes back 45+ years and I will never be able to listen to all our CDs.
Rachael and Ron
I like some classical and older jazz that is also a part of my collection.
I read a lot but Ron doesn't get into that. I have a large collection of jig saw puzzles, especially of cities, states, etc. I am always looking for different and unique ones.

Our Grandchildren
"Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless;
maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed."
Do not change yourselves to be like the people of this world,
but be changed within by a new way of thinking.
Then you will be able to decide what God wants for you;
you will know what is good and pleasing to Him and what is perfect.
