I saw this a few years ago, printed it and have it posted on my bulletin board in my office.
This touched me in a profound way when I read it, and wanted to share it here.
I am sorry I don’t have a source for this, so if I find it I will give the credit where credit is due.
A Baby Asked 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 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.”
