A simple story

I was reading my sisters blog the other day and she had found a really cute story that I thought I would pass on to you.

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 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 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 hurridely asked, "God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angels name."

"You will simply call her, Mom."

I thought this story was so sweet and brings a tear to your eye. I know for sure that my mom has been my angel and I hope I can be a angel to Hudson. Thank you Andrea for finding this story and sharing it with me and I hope everyone reading this can share it with someone new.
