HaPPy MoTHeR's DaY!

I hope all you MOMS out there, are having the most incredible day by spending time with your families and your children! What a blessing it is to be a MOTHER! I cannot explain how grateful I am to be able to raise MY little girls! It is such an honor that Heavenly Father would trust ME enough to care for these little spirits and bundles of joy! Yes, it does get frustrating at times, but I guess it wouldn't be called MOTHERHOOD!

I think of some of the sacrifices I have had in order to get to be a MOM. Waiting five years or 60 disappointing months, was a complete challenge in and of itself filled with unknowns, ups and downs, and even rock bottom! For the most part, I had to be optimistic and tell MYSELF, "Other people aren't able to have children at all and I would much rather go through this than someone else!" I remember the many people who tried to comfort ME during this trial and it just seemed like nothing helped. I am grateful for their efforts, but nothing anyone said or did could make it better! I decided the only one that can make things better was ME! I had to stop wallowing in MY misery, buck up, and change MY way of thinking.

Now, I dedicate this story to all you wonderful MOTHERS!

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.'"
