I've had several experiences with the angels that have crossed my path during different times of my life. I know there are angels seen and unseen. The story I want to share today is someone seen. A few weeks after giving birth to my 3rd child, I was sitting in a rocking chair nursing. My two-year-old sweet daughter leaned over me and said, "Momma, I not feel good." And then she abruptly threw up all over me and the newborn baby. It was not a good start to the day.
After cleaning us up, I was feeling particularly tired already and it wasn't even 10 a.m. Then the phone rang. A sweet grandma-aged neighbor two doors up just happened to call and asked me what I needed. I kind of fell apart as I explained how my morning began. She promptly came down, voluntarily scooped up my 4 year old son and took him to her house for several hours while they made cookies and played games. That sweet gesture has forever made an impact on me. Her sacrifice of time was especially meaningful, and the fact that she would give that attention to my son when she knew I would be putting the most of my attention on my two younger daughters that day was probably one of the best things she could have done for me so I wouldn't feel guilty about the unintended negligence. The God I worship sends angels. He knows our needs and will give us aid, even if we don't ask for it. My life has been full of angelic and heavenly help that has come in all the right times and places.
