The Lord watches over my kids and me

There are countless times when I just think angels must be busy keeping me safe. Many times it's when I'm driving and do something stupid. Other times it's not falling--like the other day when I stepped on a car on the stairs at Grandma's and really should've slipped. On Thursday I went to Grandma's and forgot Annika's front carrier so I couldn't take Caleb on a walk for a nap. We went to the store instead and both kids fell asleep in the car. At my house I can carry a sleeping Caleb from the car to his crib but he often wakes up other places and that day he really needed a nap. So I parked the car in the driveway and tried to take a nap with them (but I couldn't find a comfortable enough position). After an hour or so Caleb woke up. I don't think it was really as long as he needed and he didn't cry or anything. He started telling me something like, "See bug out window." I can't remember exactly what he said. I said something like, "that's nice" or the equivalent. He kept telling me and finally I looked back and there was a wasp on the window right beside him. I really think Heavenly Father helped Caleb wake up in time to see the wasp and helped him tell me so that neither kid got stung.

I am greatful that Heavenly Father is so watchful of us, and your post made me realize that I need to be more aware of it in the future, because i tend to forget.
