everytime a bell rings, an angel gets its' wings! In Psalm 91:11 it says, "For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways."
I'm thinking that angels are not truly like what we envision them with little diapers and halos and cupid arrows flying around all over the place. And as far as ringing a bell to give them wings is concerned I would say that's just a line from a movie! I do believe in angels though but not those kind. I believe in the all powerful angels sent down from heaven sometimes in forms of other people in our daily lives as well as the ones that are invisible to the eye of those not being protected at the time. I personally have never seen one, but can say that I have had guardian angels watching over me numerous times when I've been in dangerous situations. In Acts 12 is the story of Peter's amazing escape from prison. An angel APPEARED before him but none of the guards saw him or the angel walk out. How miraculous that was and had to of been for Peter at the time. It even states that he thought it was only a vision/dream that it was occurring. God obviously had more plans for Peter then to be stuck in a prison for life. I remember quite a few years ago when I was on a motorcycle with a random person I had met and they were driving furiously fast in an unknown territory. How irresponsible of me to even be on that cycle not to mention out of God's will at the time. God, in his infinite grace saw fit to spare me from an accident though even when I was not where I needed to be with Him. He knew that He had something more in store for me and PRAISE HIM that I have finally come to grips with that and am daily striving to allow him to take me on his ride through this life instead of someone whom I dont' know. The more I am on this ride the further I desire to go but am choosing to not go too fast or else I will surely crash.
We ought to be saying, "Thank you Father for giving your angels charge over me to keep me in all my ways."
Ironically the song, "I believe there are angels among us" just came on the radio!!! How very true that is; I can't wait till we are in heaven singing praises with them all!!
next time you ring a bell don't think of giving an angel it's wings but rather of God's protection He provides us and the "wings" he gives us to continue in this journey we call earthly life!

Oh, and my "ironically" comment should be changed to state that God has a way with showing himself to us and that was surely one of them right there with that song coming on as I was writing this!
