Once upon a time, there was a good mom who loved her children. She loved them so much that she decided she needed some more.
One day, she was out in the garden, looking at some flowers. They were beautiful to see and smelled very sweet indeed. The mom began to daydream and envisioned many little children running and playing at her feet. She wondered if it meant new babies would be arriving soon.
That night, the special, loving mom went to bed and said her usual prayer for God to bring more children to her. This time, though, she felt a tingling around her nose and imagined she smelled flowers. She began to dream and dreamed the same as her afternoon daydream. So many happy, healthy, and loving children were around her.
The next morning came too quickly and the nice mom didn’t want to leave her dream, but she needed to get back to her gardening. So, she got up, had a shower, made her breakfast, and suddenly realized she was hearing something in the garden! What was that? Could it be? Could it really be? It sounded just like in her dream! Could she still be dreaming? The sweet mom decided to pinch herself just to make sure, but not too hard, because that wouldn’t be nice. Well, she felt the pinch all right and jumped right up out of her chair and ran as quickly as she could to her back door. There she stopped, not daring to open it. She was feeling so happy and was afraid she was imagining the whole thing. Then – there was a small knock on the door and tiny sounds of laughing and giggling.
That kind, hopeful mom grabbed the door knob and threw the door wide open! What did she see? What could it be? What was standing before her? Well, what else could it have been…only about twenty little girls and boys all standing with great big smiles on their shiny faces. Their eyes sparkled like the morning dew; their clothes were all of the brightest colors and there was the faintest scent of daffodils and roses and orange blossoms…
I think they all lived happily ever after, what about you?
