I WISH I COULD LITE CANDLES EVERY DAY FOR ALL THE BEAUTIFUL ONES ON LAST-MEMORIES. I DO THINK ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME, KEEPING YOU IN MY PRAYERS~

 

 

Happy 4th baby. I hope the fireworks are beautiful and you enjoy your first sight of them.

 

When God calls little children

to dwell with him above,

We mortals sometime question

The wisdom of his love.

For no heartache compares with

the death of one small child

who does so much to make our world,

seem wonderful and mild.

Perhaps God tires of calling

the aged to his fold,

so he picks a rosebud, before it can grow old.

God knows how much we need them,

and so He takes but a few,

to make the land of Heaven

more beautiful to view.

Believing this is difficult still

somehow we must try.

The saddest word mankind knows

will always be "Goodbye."

So when a little child departs,

We who are left behind

must realize God loves children,

Angels are hard to find.

You're A Special Little Spirit

"You're a Special Little Spirit," the all great Master said,
As he gently caressed the curly blond hair of the Little Spirit's Head.
"you need to go to Earth to spend some time, you know,
A place I send most Spirits to be tested, to learn, to grow.

The Little Spirit, in sadness, slowly bowed his head,
And from his eye a tear did steal and down his cheek it shed.
"Don't you fret now little one, I won't let you stay too long,
I'll bring you back to help me here, You'll hardly know you've been gone.
You're my choicest Little Spirit, you're the apple of my eye."
And he wiped the tear and gently kissed His Little Spirit good-bye.

"I'm back," the Little Spirit whispered, as he climbed onto his Master's knee,
And the Master said, "I told you, you would not be long away from me."
And then, the Lord, He noticed still another tear welled in his eye.
"Why are you so sad, Little Spirit, whatever should make you cry?"

"I'm glad I'm back," the Spirit said, "but Master you must surely know,
When your angel came to get me, I didn't want to go.
I know you said you needed me and that I'd be gone the shortest while,
But Lord, couldn't I have had a little longer earthly trial?"

The Master let the Little Spirit slip down from His knee,
He firmly took the little hand and said,"Come walk with me."
The Little Spirit and his Lord walked slowly hand in hand,
As the Master explained His special part in the great and marvelous plan.

"Now Lord, I don't mean to argue, I understand you need me home.
But I left in such a hurry, I left everyone hurting and so alone.
I didn't let my earthly parents know how much I loved them so.
I was much too small to tell them, Lord, how will they ever know?
They feel they've been cheated, and in a way so do I.
Not getting to share any more than we did, how can I ever tell them why?"

"Little Spirit, I know your heart is heavy with the message you need to share.
But you need not worry anymore, I'll watch over your loved ones there.
I'll send them loving comfort as a strong and helping hand.
I'll content and give peace to their aching hearts, so they will understand.

The Little Spirit looked up at his Master and said "Thank you for explaining it to me.
And could you please tell them I'm safe and happy and that someday they'll be here with me."

"Yes," said the Lord with a smile and a nod, "I'll tell them all that I can."
Then the others came to see the Little Spirit, as the Lord let go of his hand.
He said, "I'll tell them you're pure, as pure as Heaven's Gold,
That I needed the warmth of your perfect soul to keep Heaven from getting cold."

~BLESSINGS~

"BLESSINGS CAN BE A LOVING SMILE,

OR EVEN A SOFT TENDER TOUCH,

A KIND WORD SOFTLY SPOKEN.

THESE BLESSINGS MEAN SO MUCH!

 

BLESSINGS ARE A SPECIAL FRIEND,

BEING THERE IN TIME OF NEED,

LENDING A HAND AND ENCOURAGEMENT,

BY DOING A LOVING DEED!

 

BLESSINGS ARE WHEN SOMONE CARES,

WHEN OUR LIVES SEEM TO BE ADRIFT.

BLESSINGS ARE HEARING A PRAYER,

THAT GIVES OUR LIVES A LIFT.

 

BLESSINGS ARE KNOWING OUR GOD IS NEAR,

OUR EVERY PRAYER HE WILL HEAR!

GIVING US COMFORT, INSTEAD OF FEAR,

TRUSTING HIM WITH ALL WE HOLD DEAR"

 

 

 

The warm Rays you feel everyday

are not just sunshine...

But, the touch of the angels

who want to let you know,

they are watching over you!

~HuGs & kIsSeS~

Listen closely to the winds,

and hear the gentle whisper

of an angel's wings in flight...

Look far into the sky

and see the shimmering

stardust left behind.

Close your eyes &

clear your thoughts

and feel the love of your

very own very real

Guardian Angel.

	Today when the sun wakes up, and the dew drops in, and the breeze whistles its song, and the clouds dance on the wild blue yonder, and the forest whispers its secrets, and the rivers roll with laughter, till the stars tip-toe softly 'round the moon...         Today, all day, just know I'm thinking about you and hoping you're smiling.

Hey sweetie! Heres the balloons we released for you we released two because the first one went up as we were putting the tag on it hehe so we did another one that night with the tag :) Also, heres your cupcake sweetie!!

 

You are never forgotten in my heart precious Austin. Always sending you and Mommy love!

There's a place
I've never seen
beyond this world we know,
A place I've only heard of
but someday hope to go -
It's not on any map,
there are no roads
to take me there,
But it's a place of perfect peace
where hearts are free from care.
And though I understand
some may be saddened
when I leave,
One day, we all will meet again -
that's what I believe...



When it's time to travel there,
I think I'll wear a smile,
I'll say good-bye to those I love,
but only for a while,
Knowing there are others
who have traveled there alone,
Who cannot wait to greet me
and to whisper "welcome home."

The Busiest Day In Heaven"

It's the busiest day in Heaven
I'm planning a big surprise
To let you know I love you
And that no one ever dies

Even though your down below
And I am up above
I'm sending you my wishes
And all my angel love

It's really quite exciting
To plan this big event
For lots of gifts will come your way
And all are Heaven sent

First I'll take a bubble bath-
My splashes might cause some rain
But knowing all the fun I'm having
Will help to ease your pain

Next I'll get some pictures
In my halo and gown
So when you get to Heaven
You can show me all around

I have color crayons in Heaven
And I will draw some stars so bright
And place them in the sky today
For you to see tonight

Then Jesus will have story time
And I will sit upon his lap
He'll tell me all about you
Just before I nap

I'll awake full of energy
And play a game or two
Before I finish sending
All my love to you

After snack I'll write a song
For all the birds to sing
And know I've made you happy
With all the joy it brings

At night time I'll be tired
But I'll still hold you tight
My arms will wrap around you
And keep you through the night

And when you finally slumber
I will kneel and pray
Asking God to bless you
On this special Mothers Day

Love,
Your Little Angel
