Chris,
I too believe the Lord sends us angels for assistance. I certainly think
it's possible to have a guardian angel. I do believe the ?Bible teaches
that these are different beings than a man or woman or even a child.
Children are wonderful and whatever special connection there is between an
adult and a child is different than an angelic visit and a person.
I am glad you had the courage to bring up a topic, though, as you've found,
there are varying opinions on it.
Vicki
