This never gets old

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 think a very important part of being a mother is molding the spiritual person your child will become. I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am that we are in church and developing a closer relationship with God. There is something amazing about seeing your husband come to know the Lord.

Totally. Sounds strange, but to me there is nothing sexier than when I walk in to the bedroom and see Cody on his knees in personal prayer. How weird to get turned on by that!!

BTW this little story made me cry :)

That is awesome Veronica. I TOTALLY understand. I am getting turned on by Tim getting involved with God. Getting in his car and finding it tuned to the Christian station and a Christian CD in it was AMAZING. I started crying.

Tim is pretty much agnostic and since the missionaries came into our lives we have a relationship with God we have never had.... does that mean we will be Mormon ultimately.. I am not sure but I thank them daily for the spirit they brought into our lives.
