"Will The Angels Let Me Play?"

Some years ago, I won't say how many, when I was a young girl, my mother taught me a song and it has been one that I have thought of and sung a lot since mother taught it to me. It goes like this:

"In a yard, where children
were playing games, one day,
A little tot so lonely
was watching wistfully.
It seemed so hard,
she could not play,
as other children do.
They said that she
would spoil the games
and was a baby,too.
Her tender heart is breaking,
for they won't let her play,
and as she goes to mama,
she murmurs plaintively,

"Mama, when I go to heaven,
Will the angels let me play,
Just because I am so little,
Will they say, 'I'm in the way?'
Here the children never want me,
I'm a bother they all say.
When I go to heaven, mama,
Will the angels let me play?

That night when all was silent,
The angels came that way,
And took the little darling,
Whose sweet lips seem to say,

Mama, when I go to heaven,
Will the angels let me play,
Just because I am so little,
Will they say, I'm in the way,?
Here the children never want
Me, I'm a bother, they all say,
When I go to heaven,Mama,
will the angels let me play"?

Have you ever felt like you didn't belong to a certain group or some of your family, or friends? It really cast a shadow over your ego and you were ready to 'throw in the towel,' and go in a different direction?

Well, I have news for you. You don't need to despair. All that is needed is, "A Little Talk With Jesus, makes it right alright". That happens to be a song, as I recall, in a hymn book we used earlier in some of our hymn sessions at church.

So go to your Bible and read Matthew 11:28=30, Where Jesus tells us: "Come unto me, all ye who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and come follow me, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light"

He will give you comfort and He will enjoy your company.
