I Believe in Angels

Today I was sitting in a meeting, discussing the goals set to help one of my children toward a bright future.  As this child's future has been getting closer and closer, I've been more and more nervous on how best to help her find her place in this world. Having never done this, I've felt alone in my search for answers, yet known that I've been guided down certain avenues by an all-knowing, merciful God. As we sat talking and laughing about the possibilities, one of the ladies looked at me and said, "We're here for you. We'll help your child find her way," and I knew she meant it. The other ladies echoed her sentiment; we were together in this goal.  While my search hasn't ended,  it certainly isn't lonely anymore.

And so Yes! I believe in angels.  I believe God sends us help. Sometimes as we are working our way through the struggle and holding on, we just have to step a bit further and there they are: those angels, those people who, while not heavenly beings, are kind, understanding, genuine, and--heavenly. They are God's angels here on earth.  I am so thankful for the angels God has sent to me.

"God does notice us, and He watches over us. 
But it is usually through another person that He meets our needs."      
President Spencer W. Kimball

I wish there was a "like" button! You (we) are most definitely not alone. It is nice, however, when we can see evidence of that. 😀
