A child sat on Jesus' lap
in the splendor of heaven.
The child asked, "Is it time?"
Jesus parted the clouds, looked and said,
"No, not yet child."
The child asked "When will it be time?"
Jesus replied, "When lessons are learned,
hardships endured, and loneliness lived,
then it will be time."
Time passed. The child asked, "Is it time?"
Jesus parted the clouds, looked and said,
"No, not yet child."
The child asked, "When will it be time?"
Jesus replied, "When maturity is reached,
self-worth affirmed and spirits
strengthened, then it will be time."
Time passed. The child asked, "Is it time?"
Jesus parted the clouds, looked and said,
"Their love is strong and their hearts are open.
Yes, now it is time-
Your parents are ready."

The Great Debate of 2008:
What is she holding?


Those beautiful eyes
that looked right into my soul


As I wait, I dream of you
Small curls no curls, I dream of you
Little lips shaped like a heart, I dream of you
Imagine your smell the way you feel in my arms, I dream of you
Your sweet warm breath against my cheek, I dream of you
Sleeping peacefully like an angel on a white soft cloud, I dream of you
As I sit in the quite of the night, I dream of you.
Oh God, please hear my prayer and let my dream come true. ~author unknown
