adulthood, the more my testimony is strengthened that
there are most definitely angels among us. As we raise our
children and go through the struggles we face as parents,
there is no training manual to make those steps any easier,
and we in our imperfections make mistakes that we wonder
will ever be fixed; but if we just do our best, the Lord does
listen to the heartfelt prayers of mothers and fathers who
plead for help to make up for what they lack...and the Lord
does just that. There is nothing more important than the family
and he wants it to succeed even more than we do...so we
do our best and he makes up for the rest and we wait for all
to land on solid ground. As a mom now, I love it when I hear
the resounding sound of their footsteps landing solidly. We
hear it in our grandchildren's excited tales of their family
adventures and in the wonderful blogs their mothers post
of those adventures, we hear it knowing our children are all
where we know they're supposed to be at this time in their
life even though they're all out of arms reach, we hear it
when we are asked if we can support a decision they've
made when the only answer is "of course we can; you're
doing what the Lord would want you to do" and we hear it
when we hear our daughter bear her testimony to us
relating the feelings of her heart as she's performing as an
angel in "Savior of the World". Some parents may be able
to take the credit for such success, but for us, I' d have to
say I know there are angels among us...if we could only
see and hear.
