God Sent To Me An Angel

God sent to me an angel,
It had a broken wing.
I bent my head and wondered,
"How could God do such a thing?"

When I asked the Father
why He sent this child to me,
the answer was forthcoming,
He said, "Listen and you will see."

"My children are all precious,
and none is like the rest.
Each one to me is special,
and the least is as the best.

I send each one from Heaven
and I place it in the care
of those who know my mercy-
those with love to spare.

Sometimes I take them back again,
sometimes I let them stay.
No matter what my happen
I am never far away.

So if you find and angel
and don't know what to do,
remember I am with you.
*Love* is all I ask of you."

A Mother's Prayer

Dear Lord, it's been such a hectic day,
with little time to stop and pray,
for life's been anything but calm
since You called me to be a mom.

Running errands, matching socks,
building dreams with matching blocks.
Cooking, cleaning and finding shoes,
and other stuff that children lose.

Fitting lids on bottled bugs,
wiping tears and giving hugs,
a stack of last week's mail to read,
so where's the quiet time I need?

Yet, when I steal a moment, Lord,
just at the sink or ironing board,
to ask the blessings of Your grace,
I see then, in my small one's face,

That you *have* blessed me all the while,
and I stoop to kiss that precious smile.
