God Needed An Angel In Heaven

GOD NEEDED AN
ANGEL IN HEAVEN

by HELEN STEINER RICE



WHEN JESUS LIVED UPON THE EARTH SO MANY YEARS AGO,
HE CALLED THE CHILDREN CLOSE TO HIM BECAUSE
HE LOVED THEM SO... AND WITH THAT TENDERNESS OF OLD,
THAT SAME SWEET, GENTLE WAY, HE HOLDS YOUR
LITTLE LOVE ONE CLOSE WITHIN HIS ARMS TODAY...
AND YOU'LL FIND COMFORT IN YOUR FAITH THAT IN HIS HOME ABOVE
THE GOD OF LITTLE CHILDREN GIVES YOUR LITTLE ONE HIS LOVE...
SO THINK OF YOUR LITTLE DARLING LIGHTHEARTED AND HAPPY AND FREE PLAYING IN GOD'S PROMISED LAND
WHERE THERE IS JOY ETERNALLY.



WHEN A ROSE CLIMBS OVER A GARDEN WALL, YOU
CANNOT SEE IT, BUT YOU KNOW IT IS BLOOMING
ON THE OTHER SIDE. SO THINK OF YOUR LITTLE ONE
AS HAVING WALKED INTO ANOTHER ROOM BEYOND
THE SIGHT OF YOUR VISION AND THE TOUCH OF
YOUR HAND... AND LET YOUR LOVE FOR HER LIVE
ON BY GIVING IT LAVISHLY TO ALL THE OTHER LITTLE
GIRLS AND BOYS.
H.S.R.







GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD, CALL ON HIS NAME;
MAKE KNOWN AMONG THE NATIONS
WHAT HE HAS DONE.
SING TO HIM, SING PRAISE TO HIM;
TELL OF ALL HIS WONDERFUL ACTS.
