Missionaries are blessed with angels to protect, lead and guide them. We were reading this scripture again.
"And whoso receiveth you, there I will be also, for I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my Spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to bear you up." (D&C 84:88)
We then noticed that Elder Record already has an angel by his left shoulder in this picture.
Click on the picture and zoom in on the reflection of the picture of Jesus Christ and the child. There is a faint reflection that appears like an angel standing in front of the Savior and pointing to Elder Record with his right arm. The angel is dressed in a white robe and his left shoulder is directly in front of the child's face. The angel's robe drapes down from his right arm across the midsection of his robe in a layered effect. The bottom of his robe can been seen covering the inscription plaque inset in the frame centered below the picture of Christ. Not sure how the reflection showed up, but it is really inspiring to look at. See if you can see the image of the angel.
I read a book by Gerald N Lund called "Divine Signatures". In the book he talks about how the Lord blesses us in such unique ways that it is almost as if he is putting his signature on our lives. To me, this is a divine signature. When dad pointed our the image of the angel along with the scripture I knew that Jason is were he is supposed to be at this time in his life. I know the Lord will bless him as he serves in Alaska. I know that the Lord will send his "angels to bear [him] up" and to protect him. :D
ReplyDeleteI hadn't seen this post until today. What a special, unique blessing. It looks like the physical reflection may have been from a statuette in the room, but the spiritual significance of its appearance in the photo cannot be underestimated.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great connection, Lorielle! :)
