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...
