There is only one pretty child in the world, and every mother has it. ~Chinese Proverb

Mom with her highschool sweetheart, now known as my Dad!
From Dad: "To my best friend, wife and mother-
Loving you sure has been easy. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me and ever will (other than getting saved). Thank you for being such a wonderful wife and mother to our two children. I love you very, very much! Happy Mother's Day!
Your Wayne Always"

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.'"

I hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day!
I am thankful to God for you. You have been a wonderful Mother and set a godly example for me to follow. Thank you for being such a loving, caring, patient, godly Mother.

You truly are beautiful on the inside as well as on the outside!

All my love,

Amy (and family)
