A Little Child’s Angel
2007-10-19 22:47:23
Once upon a time, there was a child ready to be born. One day, the child asked GOD, “They tell me you are going to send me to earth tomorrow. But, how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?”God replied, “Among the many angels, I have chosen one for you.”“But”, said that child, “Here in heaven I don’t do anything else but sing and smile. That’s what I need to be happy.”God said, “Your angel will sing for you every day. And you will feel your angel’s love and be happy.”“And”, said the child, “How am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, if I do not know the language that men talk?”“That’s easy”, 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.”The child looked up at God saying, “And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?”God smiled at the child saying, “Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.”The child said, “I’ve heard on earth there are bad men. Who will protect me?”God put his arms around the child saying, “Your angel will defend you—even if it means risking life!”The child looked sad saying, “But I will always be sad because I will not see you any more.”God hugged the child, “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 already be heard.The child in a hurry, asked softly, “Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel’s name!”God replied, “Your angel’s name is of no importance… you will simply call her, MOMMY!” -
You're So Blessed

You're So Blessed
If you woke up this morning
with more health than illness,
you are more blessed than the
million who won't survive the week.
If you have never experienced
the danger of battle,
the loneliness of imprisonment,
the agony of torture or
the pangs of starvation,
you are ahead of 20 million people
around the world.
If you attend a church meeting
without fear of harassment,
arrest, torture, or death,
you are more blessed than almost
three billion people in the world.
If you have food in your refrigerator,
clothes on your back, a roof over
your head and a place to sleep,
you are richer than 75% of this world.
If you have money in the bank,
in your wallet, and spare change
in a dish someplace, you are among
the top 8% of the world's wealthy.
If your parents are still married and alive,
you are very rare,
especially in the United States.
If you hold up your head with a smile
on your face and are truly thankful,
you are blessed because the majority can,
but most do not.
If you can hold someone's hand, hug them
or even touch them on the shoulder,
you are blessed because you can
offer God's healing touch
If you can read this message,
you are more blessed than over
two billion people in the world
that cannot read anything at all.
You are so blessed in ways
you may never even know. -

Love, Wealth & Success
A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard... She did not recognize them... She said "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry... Please come in and have something to eat".
"We don't go into a house together", they replied...
"Is the man of the house home?", they asked.
"No", she said. "He's out"
"Then we cannot come in", they replied... In the evening when her
husband came home, she told him what had happen..
"Go tell them I am home and invite them in..." The woman went out and
invited the men in...
"Why is that?" she wanted to know..
One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth...he said pointing
to one of his friends...and said pointing to another one, "He is Success
and I am Love"..
Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of
us you want in your home."
The woman went in and told her husband what was said...Her husband was
overjoyed... "How nice", he said!!... "Since that is the case, let us invite
Wealth... Let him come and fill our home with wealth"....
His wife disagreed... "My dear, why don't we invite Success"?..... Their daughter-in-law was listening from the other corner of the house.. She jumped in with her own suggestion: "Would it not be better to
invite Love...Our home will be filled with love"...
"Let us heed our daughter-in-law's advice", said the husband to his
wife... "Go out and invite Love to be our guest."
The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, "Which one of you is
Love? Please come in and be our guest."
Love got up and started walking toward the house.. The other 2 also
got up and followed him...
Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love,
why are you coming in?"
The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success
the other two of us would've stayed out.. but since you invited Love,
wherever he goes we go with him.. Wherever there is Love there is also
wealth and success!!!!!!"
