Happy Mother's Day!


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

The child 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 tell me, here in heaven, I don't do anything but sing."
He said, "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."

"And 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 your angel will teach you to speak."

"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you, " the little child asked.

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

"I've heard on earth there are bad people. Who will protect me?"

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

"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore," the child 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 so much peace in heaven,
but voices from earth could be heard, and the child, in a hurry, asked softly,
"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."
