An Angel for Us!

An Angel for Us

(This was a forward that I received and I liked it so much I wanted to post)

Once upon a time there were three children ready to be born. One day they asked God, "They tell us you are sending us to earth, but how are we 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 the children weren't sure they really wanted to go. "But here in Heaven, we don't do anything else but sing and smile; that's enough for us to be happy." God smiled. "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day.

And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy." ''And how are we going to be able to understand when people talk to us," the children continued, "if we don't know the language that people talk?" God patted them on their heads and 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.

The children were sad. ''And what are we going to do when we want to talk to you?" God had an answer for that question too. "Your Angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray." The babies then turned to God and asked, “We’ve heard that on earth there are bad people. Who will protect us?" "Your angel will always defend you – even if it means risking her life!"

"But we will be sad because we will not see you anymore," the children continued warily. God smiled on the little ones. "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 next to you.” At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard. The children knew they had to start on their journey very soon.

They softly asked God one more question. "Oh God, if we are to leave now, please tell us our angel's name.” God touched the children on the shoulders just before they departed and answered, "Your angel's name is of no importance. You will simply call her Mommy
