Angels among us

"I have spoken . . . of heavenly help, of angels dispatched to bless us in time of need. But when we speak of those who are instruments in the hand of God, we are reminded that not all angels are from the other side of the veil. Some of them we walk with and talk with—here, now, every day. Some of them reside in our own neighborhoods. Some of them gave birth to us, and in my case, one of them consented to marry me. Indeed heaven never seems closer than when we see the love of God manifested in the kindness and devotion of people so good and so pure that angelic is the only word that comes to mind."

Jeffrey R. Holland, "The Ministry of Angels," Ensign, Nov. 2008, 30

I just finished reading this from Elder Holland and I thought of all the countless angelic acts from each of you. I thought it went along perfectly with my previous message. I'm thankful for each of the angels in my life all around me. I'm so glad to have angels among us!

It is so true, and if we take a minute to think about it, we will find lots of angels around us. I think about you often, Pam, and hope you are doing okay. Thanks for your posts.

You are truly an inspiration and an angel to many. We pray for the Lord's blessings to be with you.
