YOUR ANGEL

YOUR ANGEL

Last evening, I read the following inspirational piece by an unknown author and thought it might be beneficial to share it with you. 

Once upon a time, there was a child just about ready to be born.  So one day he 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.  She will be waiting for you and will take care of you.”

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

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

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

“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.”

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

“Your angel will place your hands together and will 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 her 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 there with you.”

At that very moment there was so much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could already be heard, and the child hurriedly asked her last question.

“Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel’s name.”

“Your angel’s name is of no importance, you will call your angel Mommy.”

Who can fathom the depth and impact of a Mother’s love?  It resonates powerfully, throughout eternity.  Mothers embody an endless variety of personality and character traits, but all of them touch our lives in a very profound way.  During our lifetime, we are literally surrounded by angels – both of heavenly and earthly origins.  What gifts they are from God!  Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed!
