Hello everyone!
I hope you all had a wonderful 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’.”

To all the angels out there…God bless you!

Hi Jeannie, that is a beautiful poem, I’ve never heard that one, it reminds us all of our job in life as a mom. To train our children in the lord. Also, I want to thank you for the gracious welcome into the blogging community, and I’m happy you enjoyed some of my posts, we seem to have allot in common.
Hi Dez!
Yes, we DO have a lot in common. Isn’t it difficult to let go of your children? All those years of being a mom first…
We just have to find a way to enjoy the next phase of our lives. Maybe I’ll take up golf! Wanna join me?? 🙂
Jeanne, I used the same Mother’s Day flower image on my post for Mother’s Day!!! I know you had a wonderful day with your family.
Hi Lady!
Great minds! Yes I did!
Happy week to you! 🙂
yay for Shawn! what a great giveaway that was. and what a sweet story. it’s nice to be thought of as an angel (though dunno that i always act like one. sigh). hope you had a Happy Mother’s Day!

Haha. Well, I know I didn’t always act like an angel either. ‘Mom angels’ are a special breed….we are a tough bunch who’s had to make difficult decisions that our kids may not always like or appreciate….yet. It’s a tough job! Right?
Have a beautiful week, Claire! Enjoy your little ones!
So wonderful of you to post this sweet story. And especially the doggy pics … I make a special effort to pop by and enjoy them with your outfit posts. So glad, too, that you had a great Mother’s Day. You are the kind of mommy that clearly deserves it. Miss your face today, BTW.
Have a delicious week!
Thank you, Jan!
I always appreciate your thoughtful comments. You have such a way with words!
Hope you’re having a wonderful week so far!
Thank you!! Hope you had a beautiful Mother’s Day…xo
Yes ma’am, I did. Hope you’re having a good week, Dixie!
Thank you for the beautiful poem!! That was so sweet!
I’m glad you like it, Monica! 🙂
Hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day, mine was special.
Both boys home at the same time.
That hasn’t happened in about 3 years!
Brett
Same here!!! My son’s been out of the country for the past three years so it was special to have both of my kids together, too. I’m happy for the both of us! 🙂
Hoping that your Mother’s Day was grand and congratulations to Shawn. She’s a lucky woman!
It was GREAT!! Thanks, Judith!
What a lovely story! We are so lucky to be Mommies! 🙂
Yes we are!!
Lovely, lovely post Jeannie. Thank you for sharing it with us. Hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day, surrounded by your family.
Thanks, Trina!
What’s better than spending time with family? I hope your weekend was wonderful as well!
Mothers are truly angels…what a beautiful tribute!

Do you celebrate Mother’s Day in Canada? Although, everyday SHOULD be Mother’s Day, imo!! 😀
We do celebrate it here. A prerequisite around the world I think. I had a very nice day. We didn’t do much, but sometimes that’s just the way to go.
Congratulations Shawn!!!! Love the lovely post today……..thank you!

Happy Mother’s Day, G50!! What a lovely story. You just can’t look at a child and NOT see Someone was involved in preconception.
Amen to that!
