The Heavenly Daily News<\/strong>
\nfrom Aunt April<\/em><\/p>\n

It was an exciting day here in heaven last week. The
\nsun was shining, as always. The birds were singing,
\nalways do. And the excitement in the air was building.<\/p>\n

It was the birthday of one of heaven’s precious
\nchildren. Noah Whaley was turning 3. It was the
\nbirthday of many others, that’s true, but an
\nexcitement builds in heaven for the children when Noah
\nWhaley has a birthday.<\/p>\n

Every May 3rd, children run to the edges of heaven to
\nsee and hopefully get a balloon, and Noah is no
\ndifferent. His dark hair pushed from his angelic face
\nas he ran at full speed to heaven’s edge. “Wait for
\nit” he told the other children.<\/p>\n

Within seconds balloons started arriving in heaven.
\nChildren eagerly reached and grabbed the string, each
\ncarrying a message for Noah. “I love you” one said, “I
\nmiss you” said another. Each message was in a
\ndifferent voice, each message conveying the love the
\nsender had for Noah.<\/p>\n

By the end of the day, each child had received a
\nballoon and shared it’s message with Noah, who by this
\npoint was covered in cake. Angel food cake of course.<\/p>\n

Noah finished this exciting day in the arms of Jesus.
\nHe ran to Jesus with all the messages that had been
\nsent that day. Jesus examined them one-by-one. He
\nfashioned all the messages into a blanket and covered
\nNoah with it. And so Noah slept, surrounded in his
\nfamily’s love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
