Angels Amongst Us

"I have spoken here 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. ... 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 Spirit helps us know who around us needs an "angel." Sometimes we discover our act of kindness was an answer to a prayer. That's an awesome experience. Most of the time we have no idea the difference a hug, a smile, a note, a phone call, or some other act of love makes in a person's life. Our goal is to follow Christ's example and go about doing good (Acts 10:38). 

My life has been blessed by so many "angels" on this side of the veil. I am grateful for dear family and friends and the abundance of ways they have blessed my life.
