Embracing a Child

 Dear Ones , 

I received this dream in 1995 ,

But before I tell you , here is a 

message of room for thought :

{What if Blessed Mary allowed you to hold

her son, Jesus , as a toddler.  She gently

places him into your arms with his bare

skin and only a cloth diaper on. }

_____________________________________

Here is my dream: note: (I am going to use 

the word  You instead of referring to myself )

-------------------

You are standing in a kitchen 

and holding baby Jesus in your arms

with his bare skin. 

 He is a toddler 

and only had on a cloth diaper !

 You're in awe

for you know you are holding God.  You

touch his soft curly hair.  Blessed Mary

placed her trust in you to care for her son.

You are  at a Christmas gathering and

your niece begins to sing a Christmas

song at the dining room table. 

You are still standing there  

holding baby Jesus in your arms. 

Jesus begins to sing along with her !

 His voice is so

beautiful , none like you've ever heard

before, and you automatically know he is

very intelligent. Jesus sang of a 

different language and his voice

was striking and not of this world !

 Suddenly you are no 

longer holding Jesus, instead you see him

sitting in a high chair only viewing the

back side of him.  You see a crown of

thorns on his precious head.  Jesus is in

agony and pain.  Next thing you know,

Jesus turns into a little old man, such as a

homeless person. He lets himself out the 

door and you sadly wave good-bye , for

now you are worried about him, in

wondering how will he be treated by

others.  Once he was a beautiful child who

could sing with joy, and he was very loved.

How will others see him for they don't know

him and all his great beauty.  when we

hold a child we are embracing Jesus,

and he trust us with His children, whom

he created.  Jesus knows each of us by our

own name.  When we look into their eyes

we see Jesus' eyes and how are we going

to treat that child ?  Are we going to show

them kindness , love , and patience ?  Are we

going to teach them to sing ?  When they 

grow up are they going to be able to show

God to others ?  When we are taking care for

another person, we are taking care of Jesus, 

for we are all made in his likeness and image.
