It’s been said (in buttonless circles) that a button is something for the devil to hang onto. Well, if the devil can hang onto a button, why can’t a guardian angel do the same?

Take a quiet moment to talk to your guardian angel. (I like to do this on my morning walk and just have chat where I ask for guidance and protection throughout the day.) As you converse, what colors or patterns come to mind? Find or buy buttons in the colors or patterns that were shown to you—you may find that they just come into your hands! Sew the button into the inside of the left side of your coat or jacket (or any piece of clothing), right over your heart. As you sew, say or sing:

Near to my heart, angel of mine,
Bound by thread and love divine!

Carry your angel with you wherever you go!
