My guardian angel

Growing up I had this picture in my bedroom. It hung by the door. Across from my bed, and even with the lights out I could see it by the hall light. As a kid I said the typical child's bedtime prayer of "As I lay me down to sleep..." and I remember often looking at that picture while saying my bedtime prayers. I was always filled with a sense of wonder that even when kids don't see danger God is looking out for them, sending angels to protect His children. This made a big impact on my childhood faith. I knew God was a caring God from an early age, and that things I could not see were taken care of because of God's great love.

Over the years, moving many times, and growing up, I have no idea whatever happened to that picture. I've since bought another much smaller one that I now have on my fridge. This picture is just one of those tranquil childhood memories that gives me such comfort to know that there is a caring God and He loves and protects me in ways I often don't even see!
