I know I don't usually deal with two holidays in a row, but this is another "new" holiday.  On this date in 1993, the very first "Be An Angel" day was declared.  Jayne Howard Feldman is the one who created this day, and she did so through the inspiration of angels. On this date, we are encouraged to do something good for other people.  Do any kind of good service for another that you would like to.  There are many stories in the Bible and in popular culture of angels helping mortals.  We can use that inspiration to do something for others.

Now, I do believe in angels, but I do not go to the extreme that the originator of this holiday does.  But that is beside the point.  The point of this day is to do something for others that maybe you would not normally.  Be kind.  Reach beyond yourself and be an angel!
