Angels

This will be a faith-centered post. As my faith is a huge part of who I am, it is bound to come up every now and then.

Today is the birthday of one of my angels. I want to dedicate this post to him, even though I am sure he won't be reading this, but I can guarantee he has been there through all the times that I was struggling, emotionally, physically, or in any other manner. Last year, as I sat in the hospital, going through some tests to figure out what was wrong.As I sat in a long test, that was somewhat painful, he was there. I know, that no matter what, he will always be there for me. He always has and always will be.

As I have struggled to cope with my condition, through the diagnosis, flare-ups, pains, and hard times, I have honestly learned a lot. I had been having. When I feel alone, scared, frustrated, sad, or discouraged, I have learned that there is always someone there. I learned how helpful and necessary angels are, both seen and unseen.

The quote below sums this up:

"God never leaves us alone, never leaves us unaided in the challenges that we face. "[N]or will he, so long as time shall last, or the earth shall stand, or there shall be one man [or woman or child] upon the face thereof to be saved." On occasions, global or personal, we may feel we are distanced from God, shut out from heaven, lost, alone in dark and dreary places. Often enough that distress can be of our own making, but even then the Father of us all is watching and assisting. And always there are those angels who comes and go all around us, seen and unseen, known and unknown, mortal and immortal." ~Jeffrey R. Holland


I know that this is true and that angels. There are people here who can help you whether it be through a smile, a needed talk, an act of service, being there when times are hard, and so much more. These are are examples of seen and known angels. Even more, I know that there are unseen angels, who help and support us in those moments when we need it the most or at those times when we can't make it on our own. I am so grateful for both types of angels in my life.
