Mine Angels Round About You

My heart hurts tonight. I know that we can't expect that life will always bring us rainbows and chocolate pooping unicorns. I'm even fine to admit that there really isn't a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. But sometimes it just sucks to think about the bad things happening to some of the great people I know. Through association I made a necklace for a mom who delivered her baby super early. He hasn't ever left the walls of the NICU. His mama didn't ever get the chance to snuggle in bed on the cool mornings those first months of his life. I work in the NICU upon occasion. I have no doubt that her baby was met every day and night with the greatest of nursing care, but I'm sad tonight for his mama and all of the missed milestones. Heavenly Father knows always when to send encouragement and also knows me all too well. I read this scripture just earlier today. "I will go before your face. 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 (D&C 84:88)." It's the same scripture that I used for the glass charm that I put on the necklace I originally made for his mom. I want you to know that I know Heavenly Father watches over all of us. He knows us each individually. He is aware of me and of you and of our potential. He loves us. If we talk to Him he will listen. There’s no problem too small to talk to Him about, and there’s no problem too big to talk to Him about. Most importantly in times such as the one for this young mom, if we ask him to send His ministering Angels to surround and protect us He will send them.
