A Mother's Prayer
Lord, today is Mother's Day, but my heart is split in two.
Half is with the child still here,
The other with the child that is now there with you.
All the lovely presents are a nice surprise,
But the one thing I want most is missing,
And tears fill my eyes.
I know when you sent him, Lord,
You didn't promise how long he would stay.
All you said was to love him and treasure each and every day.
But Lord, it crushed my heart when you called for his return.
I feel like half a Mom, as I ache, weep and yearn.
But Lord, tell him I love him just as much as I did before.
And could you please make a window,
so he can see through heaven's door ?
Let him see that he is missed and thought of with each breath.
And that a Mother's love begins before life, and does not end with death.
So, on this Mother's Day, the Greatest Gift, I give to you.
For Lord, I know you missed him and you loved him, too.

The angel of July brings a season of leisure, a time to play and replenish our energy.
The projects we began in the spring should be well underway and growing stronger on their own. July's angel urges us to take the time, now, to step back and observe what we have planted. The July angel encourages us to tend to the garden of our life, to care for what we have started, and to be objective enough to weed out the unhealthy or unproductive elements.
This angel of summer reminds us to nurture the people and things that bring us happiness, so we can produce for ourselves a crop of joy and fulfillment.
