Angels Watching

I am so very very very grateful that Heavenly Father is always watching and aware of us.  The other day I was cooking dinner at the stove thinking about how lucky I am to have Stan and Cole.  I had a big smile on my face and was pondering sending Stan a text message expressing how happy I was.  Cole was in the family room playing - or so I thought.  We have safety gates around the stairs however one came off so I had blocked his way out of the room with his playpen. As I was happily pondering my life I got the distinct impression from the Holy Ghost to check on Cole. I walked over the the room and didn't see him. I didn't want to yell for him lest he be somewhere and startle and fall.  My eyes darted around and then I thought to look on the stairs - my heart racing.  Our stairs are especially precarious because it's a double stairwell and the floor at the base is marble.  I looked up and saw Cole sitting still on the 2 foot landing between the staircases.  Now this is a kid that is always on the move - he likes to climb the stairs, but isn't always steady and will sometimes turn around or slip. He also hasn't yet developed a sense for not plunging himself over the edge of things.   I scurried up the stairs and grabbed my precious boy thanking the Lord aloud that the angels held him still until I could get there.  What are the chances that I thought to look then and that he was safely just waiting at the top? - the answer - no chance.  God had mercy on my baby and his mama.  I am so grateful for the Gift of the Holy Ghost and for God's love and mercy.  You bet I'm watching him like a hawk now and that gate is getting fixed asap!
