Mother's Day

A baby 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?"

"Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."

The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy."

God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."

Again the child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?"

God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, 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 will teach you how to pray."

"Who will protect me?"

God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking it's life."

"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way 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 be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name.""You will simply call her, 'Mom.'"

God has blessed me with two beautiful boys. I'm so happy to be a "Mommy".

And, what would I do or where would I be without my WONDERFUL mother. You are one of the strongest people I know. I remember you crying out to God, reading devotions to us and always working SO HARD to make ends meet. I admire and love you more than you'll ever know.

My mother-in-law.................you are one of the most selfless people I know. I have said it many times and mean it with all my heart, "I could not ask for a better Mother-in-Law". You have truly accepted me into the family and you are a Mom to me when mine can't be here. I love you and thank God for sending you into my life. (Sorry I dont' have a better picture)

Happy Mother's Day to everyone.

And, thank you Grandma for the Mother's Day gift you sent me. That was so kind and thoughtful. Hope your day was fabulous as well. I love you.
