Angels To Bear You Up

Yesterday, I felt Heavenly Father's love for me. I was helping my children get settled down to eat, (which is always quite a process). As I was doing things that really seem pointless at times, or things that are just mundane, I thought to myself, "I wonder if the little things I do matter to Heavenly Father?" Literally, right after I had that thought, my daughter looked me in the eye and said, "Mom, I want you to know that you are doing a really good job being a mom." I thought, "Wow! If that wasn't a direct answer to my question!"

The scripture came to my mind, "I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my Spirit shall be in your hearts and mine angels round about you to bear you up." (Doctrine and Covenants 84:88) Again, I realized that I have Heavenly Father's angels in my own home and that the work I do everyday is eternally important.

Today, I found another scripture that took on new meaning. "And now, he imparteth his word by angels unto men....Now this is not all. Little Children do have words given unto them many times, which confound the wise and the learned." (Alma 32:23)

I was glad that my Heavenly Father loves me enough to reassure me that I'm doing what he wants me to do. And I loved that he used my little angel to deliver that message to me.
