I believe that angels exist.
Yesterday up until tomorrow, the Ateneo Grade School will be celebrating its annual fair, which coincides with the Feast of the Holy Guardian Angels (although, officially, it is celebrated every October 2). And I can't help but join them with the celebrations :-)
Being a SAHM, I am left with the huge task of taking care of the kids and doing majority of the chores at home. As I try to balance the two, it is impossible for e to be beside my children every time, all the time, especially with Sam.
When I try to do some errands at home, I sometimes leave her inside their room with her Kuya or sometimes alone, with the security gate closed. Sometimes, when I need to do something urgent upstairs, I leave them downstairs. Sometimes, when I need to do other chores at home, I leave Sam alone on the bed, as she takes her morning nap or afternoon nap, of course with the baby monitor on. Sometimes, when I take a bath in the morning, I leave the two of them on the bed, while they are still asleep. Before I leave them and while I am not beside them, I entrust them to their guardian angels. I even ask my own guardian angel to help watch over my kids.
So far, no major accident has happened to my two bulilits (knock on wood), and I will boldly credit their guardian angels for this. This week alone, I caught Sam almost at the edge of the bed just at the right time! As in one more movement, she will fall off the bed already! But thanks to my guardian angel who reminds me to check on her the moment I hear something from the baby monitor, I was at the right place at right time. This is aside from the instances where I found her chewing a small toy of his Kuya and me catching her up on our stairs. Guardian angels are truly life savers!
Who says guardian angels are only for kids? This is one part of my faith that I wil gladly share, teach and instill in the mind of my kids.
Happy Feast of the Holy Guardian Angels!
