How Often Do Our Angels Save Us? | BYBS

December 8th, 2008 by Kathleen

There are many concepts of the guardian angel, but this image of children guarded by a lovely angel as they cross a rickety bridge over roaring rapids is a sentimental favorite. Many children and adults over the years have been comforted by this angelic vision. I hope you are, too.

How many times, do you suppose, do our guardian angels protect us, and we don’t even notice it?

The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone. —George Elliot
