Tilly sits on a fluffy cloud in heaven, gazing down at a tiny Earth where Sophia, a little girl with long red curls, plays happily.
My name is Tilly. I am a Guardian Angel in heaven. Heaven smells like fresh sugar cookies. The clouds feel like warm fluffy blankets. I have the best job ever. I am a Mommy Angel! I get to watch over my sweet daughter Sophia on Earth. She has long red curly hair. I love her so much. Every day I watch her play and learn and grow. Being a Mommy Angel makes my heart happy.
Sophia, tearful, sits on the grass beside her fallen bike on a sunny sidewalk, as Tilly kneels next to her and whispers softly.
Today Sophia is trying to ride her bicycle without training wheels. Wobble, wobble, plop! She falls down. A big tear rolls down her cheek. I sit beside her in the soft grass. I whisper into the breeze. "You can do it, my sweet girl. Try one more time." Sophia wipes her tear. She hops back on the seat and pedals. Whiz! She goes all the way down the sidewalk! Her red hair flies behind her. I am so proud!
Moonlight fills a cozy bedroom where Sophia, with long red curls, clutches her blanket and stares at scary shadows, as Tilly sits on the bed edge and sings a soothing lullaby.
When the sun goes down, it is time for rest. The stars pop out and the moon shines bright. Sophia climbs into her cozy bed. She is afraid of the dark shadows on her wall. I sit on the edge of her bed. I lean close and sing a soft heavenly lullaby. "Sleep tight, little one, you are safe and loved." Sophia stops shaking. She feels the warmth of my love beside her. She smiles.
In a softly lit bedroom, Sophia, a little girl with long red curls, kneels by her bed with hands folded in prayer, while Tilly, a young woman, watches over her with a gentle smile.
Sophia kneels at the side of her bed. She folds her tiny hands and closes her eyes to pray. "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. Angels watch me through the night, and wake me with the morning light. Amen." I watch over her as she drifts to sleep. Being a Mommy Angel is the best work in all of heaven. My heart feels as warm as a fresh sugar cookie.
