The angels rejoiced and sang when this baby was born. I cried. I sat for hours just looking at this beautiful angel, that God had blessed me with, surrounded in a misty ora of holliness, amazed at the miracle that God had allowed me to perform. What a treasure. What a blessing from my Heavenly Father. Thank you Father, my heart is so full it runeth over, with joy , happiness and thankfulness;.
