One beautiful day an angel decided to visit the earth for the first time. As he was leaving he thought to himself that he would have to bring back some momentous of his trip.As he was walking in the country side he came upon a meadow full of flowers, he thought, "Oh how beautiful and fragrant all of those flowers are. I will make a bouquet and bring them back to heaven with me." So he collected the most beautiful and fragrant of all the flowers for his bouquet. As he started back on his journey he was attracted to the sound of cooing. He made his way toward the sound and saw the most enchanting child he had ever seen. She was looking into the face of her mother. The child's smile was the most beautiful thing he had seen all day. He decided to take the infant's smile too. He looked for a second longer and as he watched the mother and child , he saw the mother's unconditional love pouring out toward her daughter, and thought he should take that as well. As he winged his way back to heaven, he thought he should examine his treasures. He paused just before the gates of heaven to do this. He glance at the flowers, and to his dismay they had wilted and were no longer fragrant. He cast them aside, for he could not bring this back home , and actually call it a treasure. He then looked at the baby's smile. It, as well had faded; into something less beautiful than what he had collected...he put it aside. He at last gazed upon the mother's love and it was more beautiful than when he had first seen it. It was the most pristinely beautiful thing he had collected. Fore, not only had it remained in tact, it had grown immeasurable. It was the only treasure he brought back through the gates of heaven. None of his other treasures had endured. Only a Mother's Love had endured and grown...to make it all the way to heaven. ------------------ Follow your dreams, put your whole heart into what you LOVE. http://iiiofcups.home.insightbb.com :aquarius: IP: Logged |
