Sweetest Thing...



A Newborn's Conversation with God



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?"


God said, "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 small 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 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 hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave



now, please tell me my angel's name."





God said, You will simply call her, "Mom."

I can't wait to be a mom...

James and I feel beyond grateful and blessed. Words can not describe. It has been a long time coming, with a lot of heartache and waiting. We pray every day that things will continue to go well.

Thank you for your love, support, and your prayers!

Hi you don't know me, but I clicked on your blog from Chelsea's. I love this post and it reminded me of a video my sister made of a birth story. It also was so touching.

Congrats on being pregnant! Babies are the best and exactly what Heavenly Father wants you to do.

Enjoy.
