Expressing gratitude to the angels can take many forms—a straightforward thank you will do, but also consider demonstrating your appreciation through your actions and good works. As you already have learned, the angel energy is energy of light, love, and respect. When you understand the inner connectedness of all things in the universe, you grasp the idea that a change in one thing affects change elsewhere. When you are on your path, and working toward spiritual enlightenment, that can lift others. When you live in the spirit of love and honor and respect for even the smallest, seemingly insignificant beings, you are showing gratitude to God and the Angelic Host for the blessing of life. As you live in closer alignment with the heavenly beings, you cultivate positive attitudes of joyfulness, loving kindness, serenity and peace. That too is a way of expressing appreciation and gratitude.
Think about it for a moment—when you shun strife and struggle (by calling on your angels for help)—and instead find the harmony in your own life, that colors all your relationships. The subtle ripple effect, though intangible and unseen, can actually lift the collective consciousness of those involved with you. In ancient times, people offered sacrifices to show their gratitude to the divine. In the New Testament, Jesus demonstrated loving kindness through his acts and taught his followers to live with an appreciation for what they already had; He also taught them to trust that their father God knew their needs. A life of loving service is one of the best ways to thank God and the angels for the blessings you receive every day.
