Prodigal: I like to hear the ways that we are protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me: I just read a story, I think you might like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prodigal: I am all ears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is from the book Where Angels Walk by Joan Wester Anderson<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laura Leigh Agnese of Bethpage, New York was in her home one morning when her three-year-old son Danny tore across the living room floor and tripped. A horrified Laura Leigh watched him, almost in slow motion, hurtle headfirst toward the sharp corner of a table. She took several steps, knowing already that she was too late to break his fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Danny didn’t hit the table at all. Instead, he seemed to stop in midair. Within a few seconds he stood straight up again and ran on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the next day, Laura Leigh had forgotten the incident–until Danny, absorbed in play, looked up in her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Mommy? I saw a beautiful lady. With wings.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Really, Danny?” Laura Leigh smiled. His stories were so imaginative. “What is the lady like?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“She’s nice,” Danny said matter-of-factly. “She caught me yesterday so I didn’t hit my head against the table.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laura Leigh felt a chill. “Did the lady say anything?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Uh-hum. She said she was going to watch over me and keep me from getting hurt.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now he which establisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 Corinthians 1:21-22<\/p>\n\n\n\n
