Yesterday afternoon I got home from work and the kids were playing as they usually do. My wife and I were spending a few minutes reading individually in different rooms. It was a normal late afternoon at our house. Dinner was on the stove cooking and everyone was occupied with something to do. I was out in the living room when I heard my wife scream in our back recreation room by the kitchen. I then heard an awful sound of my little two year old daughter tumbling down the steps to our basement. My heart jumped and I ran towards the stairs. My wife had seen her half way down and hit the floor. I didn't know what to expect when i got to her. Somehow the latch to the door was not closed properly and when she leaned against it, it gave and opened up sending her down a long flight of wooden stairs.
She was crying and obviously in a bit of shock. To our amazement after a few minutes of tears and being held by mom, and us carefully checking her over...she got up and began to play again. I just started praising Jesus and thanking him for protecting her, and keeping her from what could have been a very bad situation.
He will command his angels concerning my daughter. This really struck home. I knew that she had an angel protecting her and helping her safely land from those long and hard wooden stairs. God is in the business of watching over His children. He loves my daughter so much more than even I do, and in an instance when neither my wife or I could protect her, He sent an Angel to guard over her. I am amazed at the goodness of God.
Remember today that He watches over those he loves.
Thank You God!!
