My Life: I Believe in Angels

Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born.

So one day she asked God, “They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow.
But how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?”

God replied, “Among the many angels, I chose one for you.”

“But tell me, here in Heaven, I don’t do anything else but sing and smile.
That’s enough for me to be happy.”

God said “Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day.
You will feel your angel’s love and be very happy.”

“How am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me?
I don’t know the language that men talk.”

“Your angel will teach you how to speak.”

“And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?”

God said “Your angel will place your hands
together and teach you how to pray.”

“I’ve heard that on earth there are bad men. Who will protect me?”

“Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life.”

“But I will always be sad because I will not see You anymore.”

“Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way
for you to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you.”

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices
from earth could already be heard, and the child asked in a hurry,
“Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel’s name.”

God silenced all fear when He said, “Your angel’s name is
of no importance. You will simply call her ‘Mommy’.”

 

 

Mommy, today we celebrate you. You are my angel.

And to the other special mothers in my life, including my step mom, Cynda, my mother-in-law, Lezlie,
my Gramcracker, Gramma Meman, and my sister Beth, who is expecting her second child this year:
I am very thankful you are all in my life, you are so special to me and I look up to all of you as role models for
how I want to love and treat my children, if God decides to bless me with one of my own some day.
Thank you for all you do for our family and I hope you had a wonderful mother’s day.

 

… Something I designed for my mommy to remind her of how important she is in our lives.
