                    Mary's Dream 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


I had a dream, Joseph. 

I don't understand it, not really, 

but I think it was about a birthday 

celebration for our Son.  I think 

that was what it was all about. 

The people had been preparing for it 

for about six weeks.  They had 

decorated the house and brought new 

clothes.  They'd gone shopping many 

times and bought elaborate outfits. 

It was peculiar, though, because the 

presents weren't for our Son.  They 

wrapped them in beautiful paper and 

tied them with lovely bows and 

stacked them under a tree also.  The 

branches were full of glowing balls 

and sparkling ornaments.  There was a 

figure on the top of the tree.  It looked 

like an angel might look.  Oh, it was 

beautiful.  Everyone was laughing 

and happy.  They were all excited 

about the gifts.  They gave the gifts 

to each other, Joseph, not to our 

Son.  I don't think they even knew 

Him.  They never mentioned His 

name.  Doesn't it seem odd for people 

to go to all that trouble and celebrate 

someone's birthday if they don't know 

Him.  I had the strangest feeling that if our 

Son had gone to this celebration He would 

have been intruding.  Everything was so 

beautiful Joseph, and everyone so full of cheer, 

but it made me want to cry.  How sad for Jesus- 

not to be wanted at His own birthday celebration. 

I'm glad it was only a dream. 

How terrible, Joseph, if it had been real.
