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 bought new clothes. They'd gone shopping many
times and bought elaborate gifts. 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 --
yes, a tree, Joseph, right in their house! They'd decorated the 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 to 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.
