  My angelic brothers and I have been given the task of making Heavenly Daze our concern … but others of our angelic brotherhood have been charged to watch over you. Tread carefully, with eyes and ears tuned for the eternal, because the rustle you hear on the wind may be the sound of your immortal guardians winging their way to the Lord of all.

  It is my prayer—mine, and all my brethren’s—that you would richly dwell in the wondrous grace of Christ Jesus and look forward to the real joys of heaven.

  Until we meet again, in this world or the next, I wish you restful nights and heavenly days.

  —Gavriel
