Be an Angel Day

Today’s holiday is all about helping others less fortunate. Aug. 22 is Be an Angel Day.

Inspired by angels, this annual holiday was launched by author Jayne Howard Feldman in an effort to encourage random acts of kindness and lend a helping hand to someone in need. According to Feldman:

"BE AN ANGEL DAY is a perfect opportunity to deliver to others messages of love, hope, faith, and peace -- messages from God that the angels deliver to us in our lives daily. Together we can serve God with the angels."

Whether it’s an elderly neighbor, a friend who just lost a job or a complete stranger, Be an Angel Day is about helping others. Being an angel doesn't have to cost an arm-and-a-leg. Meaningful acts of kindness is all it takes. One small gesture can make such a big difference in someone’s life.
