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.'
He Is Risen
Matthew 28
1. Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.
2. And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it.
3. His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow.
4. And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men.
5. But the angel answered and said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.
6. "He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
7. "And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you."
8. So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word.
9. And as they went to tell His diciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, "Rejoice!" And they came and held Him by the feet and worshipped Him.
10. Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell My brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me."

for showing me your support during this difficult time in my life. Thank you for being my online friends! Can you notice much difference in the way I looked in 1966 and now in 2008?? I sure did have chubby knees. And where the heck are the ellbow and knee pads, not to mention the helmet?? Bad parents. I could have been seriously injured on that concrete. LOL. The times have certainly changed. Hope my baby picture doesn't scare you off. [screams of fear echoing from behind me]. *smile* Thank you, guys.
I'm doing okay. I haven't heard from my mum in the past 2 days, so I'm not quite sure what that means. She was keeping me up-to-date on my Aunt, but it has become silent lately. Maybe there is just not a lot to mention since the lady IS all drugged-up in a hospital....can't have much of a conversation with an individual in that condition. Lol. And I know absolutely nothing about my cousin or my mum. All I know is that my mum has always been extremely optimistic about everything, and she won't let go of that unless the time comes when (or if) science can do no more. She trusts in God, and believes that she will be be with her mum and dad, her brother, her other sister who passed away about 2 months ago from cancer, her neice, and then the rest of us all when we reach that point in our lives that has been appointed to each man/woman. We'll always be family, no matter when or how we leave this world. We'll always be together, which is very comforting to know. Because we are all Christians. But you can't help but feel sad when someone you care for is hurting...physically or mentally. Just all a part of what we go through in this imperfect world. But one day.....no more tears! And compassion is NOT a bad quality to carry within your soul.
Thanks again for your support. As for my sweetie....well, he's gone. I'm not sure if I would even want him back now, to tell the truth. He is trying so hard to show me that he is doing fantastic with gorgeous girls and big happy grins and becoming really involved in the world outside of the band. People don't change overnight, and I actually feel rather sorry for him. I know he's not reading this Blog anymore, so I can say this without him knowing that I rather pity him for trying so hard to show me that he has gone on to a bigger and more exciting life....when I know for a fact that all he wants is to settle down in a committed relationship with just one woman that loves him as much as she loves him....and to be faithful and supportive of each other, through thick and thin. He'll never find that woman if he continues the way he is supposedly going now. But that is his choice. And I wish him the best. But he is portraying himself as a "player" now...and I don't think he even realizes that. He just thinks that if women see him surrounded by gorgeous babes and he's having the time of his life, then he must be someone special. Me? I'd walk away. That man is acting like a boy and certainly not ready or willing to settle down with just one special lady. His mistake. I feel sorry for him because I know how lonely he really is...how much he DOES so much want that one lady and be totally blind to all the others. But he'll have to learn that on his own. He's a smart man. He will eventually come to his senses and realize that he's not attracting the type he's looking for. He'll do okay. I wish him MUCH happiness and contentment. He's not a bad guy. He's just confused. I miss him, but I could never go back simply because too much has changed. But I would never abandon him. I'll be his friend if he ever comes to a point where he wants to talk.
I hope you all are enjoying the NASTY cold spell that has been passing through lately. Guess I should have stayed in California. Lol. Even now, as I type, it's snowing out there. It's just brrrzzzzyyyyy! And there's only so much coffee that I want to drink! Lol!!
Thank you again for all the lovely words and sentiments. What a wonderful little community we come to here at VOX.
