| Joshua J. Like 1979 ~ 2007 "God's Guaranteed Angel" |
 |
| My son Joshua was born a healthy little boy. Sadly at
the age of 4 months he was hospitalized with spinal
meningitis which left him with severe brain damage. Final
diagnosis was Profound Retardation with Cerebral Palsy. He
never learned to sit up, crawl, walk or talk but he had a
smile that could light up a room. When I was a child I once asked my mama why some kids were disabled, unable to speak or walk. She told me that because normal kids grow up and face so many temptation to sin that God wasn't sure he'd have many angels in heaven, so he chose some special kids to become his guaranteed angels. These children were blessed by God. They could never sin and were guaranteed a place in heaven. So after Joshy's illness left him with so many medical problems I knew he was one of God's guaranteed angels! I lost my baby one year and one week to the day of losing my darling husband. They are now together. Daddy is getting to see Joshy whole for the very first time. Wow, how wonderful that must be!!! |
| God's Guaranteed Angel
Joshua Like An innocent little life That was always filled with strife From his little lips no words came He never had the chance to seek fortune or fame The gift of walking was never given Dependant on others for all aspects of living A smile he freely gave to those who took the time To speak to him just a few lines For all those years we thought he had not a gift from heaven But for him he had the most precious gift of all A guaranteed angel place was his in heaven From grace he could never fall Life here would be short for God would call his name All too soon for those who loved him so dearly The time to go so quickly came And we saw all so clearly That another of God's Guaranteed Angels would be given his wings And be whole in heaven's glory sitting beside the King of Kings Joshy, I sure do miss you but Heaven is indeed sweeter with you there! |
