On the way to school I challenged my kids to be an angel to someone. I prayed that I would also be an angel.
Friday afternoon I wanted to do something fun with my kids. Things were just not coming together. I had to run an errand and then pick up Elizabeth. I felt prompted to put a box of baby clothes in my car and headed off. When I arrived at my friend's home I asked her if she wanted the box of clothes. She responded that she did, her friend had just moved in with them and needed clothes for her son. I felt that I had been an angel.
Right after that my sister called to tell me that it was "National Talk Like A Pirate Day." She told me Krispy Kreme was giving a box of doughnuts to everyone who came dressed as a pirate. This was perfect. I felt that she had been my angel, my answer to my prayer.
We all dressed up and waited in line and got our doughnuts. I then offered a ride to the woman we had met who was standing in line behind us. She had parked a ways away. As we drove her to her car one of my kids said, "Mom you are being an angel."
Angels are Among Us and come in so many forms. What a blessing to be the mother of 5 angels.
The Infinite Atonement (Illustrated Edition), by Tad R. Callister:
pg. 291-- ". . . spiritual events can be discerned only by spiritual senses. Again and again this sterling, age-old truth is reaffirmed: prophetic events and spiritual ordinances can be understood only through spiritual means. Any attempt to understand without the Spirit, regardless of cerebral capacity, college degree, or worldly experience, is simply futile."
The idea of "Angels Among Us," has piqued my thoughts. As I read this quote today I thought about how unique and special seeing a heavenly being is. It is not to be taken lightly. I do believe it would be a feeling of complete love. How grateful I am for a Savoir who died so that I might live again and a loving Heavenly Father who gives me those glimpses of His love when I need them.
