Out of the mouths of babes

Last night we awoke to an unsettling crashing sound followed by Ryan's tears. As we scrambled to get to his side, we couldn't turn on lights because of a power outage. Ryan was fine but his heart raced after tumbling out of his bed. We brought him back to our bed to comfort him. After he had calmed down, I asked if he was ready to go back to bed. He said, "Say prayers." Simply can't deny that request! We prayed aloud with him that he would feel protected. We called upon the angels to be at his side. Speedily they made their presence known! Ryan looked up with perfect peace, smiling at his angels. He even waved to them and told us, "Angels." We tucked him back in his bed wherein sleep befell him immediately. This morning Ryan shared enchanting details: The angels wore purple and white. They were beautiful. The angels smiled.
