Happy Mother's Day

A friend sent me this email.  I thought it was pretty sweet and perfect for Mother's Day.  It's like one of those Hallmark commercials, the ones that can trigger the mommy tears.

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?" God said, "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 its 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."



God said, You will simply call her, "Mom."
