Of course there are you mortal angels, and then there are heavenly angels. No, I haven't seen any, heavenly angels, that is. I do believe, however, that there are times I have felt them. Yesterday I received a precious gift in the mail from Jessica. It was a collection of quotes and scriptural references about just that. Heavenly angels. I am a believer and I loved all of the quotations. Accompanying the quotes was a beautiful little bracelet with tiny squares of pictures of my parents, grandparents, and great grandparents. Last night I did not want to take it off but I knew it would not make it through the shower. :)
I believe that it is true that the Lord would and does send our loved ones who have passed on to visit us, love us, sometimes warn and administer to our wants. From the quotes I was reminded that Biblically we learn that ancient prophets who had passed on were the ones who came to administer to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and even the Savior. Jeffrey Holland says that (2 Kings 6:16-17)" if our eyes could be opened we would see horses and chariots of fire as far as the eye can see riding at a reckless speed to come to our protection." Oh how blessed we are without even realizing it. Grateful.
Lovely, lovely Jessica. It means so much when our angels are our children...
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had some great moments during the holidays, and wish you many more wonderful things throughout the new year ahead!
ReplyDeleteYou're right about the heavenly angels. They help only when they have something to give that can come from no where else, or from no one else. Otherwise it's the earthly angels that stand by us so often.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me that you have to have the right spirit to recognize those angels, It also helps to have been an earthly angel to someone else in the past. You fit that. Have a peaceful week my friend.
