White Wednesday...Angels and cherubs for Valentines

my iron garden angel

I thought that since this is the week of Valentines,

that I would share a few of the angels and cherubs

around my home.

When Landon was diagnosed with Angelman

syndrome I looked at angels in a totally

different light than I had ever done before.

I knew that I would need the help of angels to raise

this sweet little one that had been sent to me

to care for.

Whenever I saw an angel, I always felt the need

to bring it home to live with me. Soon I was overwhelmed

with them and over the years have been

able to curb that habit a little. Sometimes however,

I see one that I cannot resist. These are just a

few of them that reside here in this house.

I love this one I found just recently

I am a big believer in the ministering of angels to those

of us who live on the Earth. I know in my life I have felt their

presence keenly at times.

I have had their protection and comfort come to

 me and have known that they are never far

away when needed.

And I have needed them a lot!

I know Landon has a whole host of angels that

watch over him. When he was a baby, even before

we had his diagnosis of Angelman, he would sit in

his bed at night and laugh and laugh (part of the syndrome

that we were yet to learn about is the presence of

 excessive laughter) and Dale

would say,"I do believe that angels must

come to that boy at night and play with him."

I do believe his daddy was right!

I think he must have laughed himself out
