Each Aug. 22 Is Be an Angel Day. Why not every day? Ordained interfaith minister Jayne Howard Feldman started this day in 1993 because she believes that angels really are at work in the world, and those angels are us. It’s a day to show kindness to others and gratitude to those who show kindness to us. It’s a day to emphasize sharing the care and support we all need. Sure, we can dismiss Rev. Feldman’s idea as coming from someone outside our normal concept of faith and belief. Then again, since the Bible recounts stories of people God worked through–people I wouldn’t expect Him to use as His instruments–I like the idea of listening to everyone who crosses my path and letting the angel in me respond to them.
