A Gift from Heaven, You

A Gift from Heaven, You! was inspired by my
family. I am hispanic, my husband is American-White and my son
African-American. Other than salvation my son David is my best gift
ever. God sent David to us when he was six weeks old. I am so
grateful and I would not change the joy of having him in my life for
anything!
Sometimes people are afraid to adopt children
from other races or countries other than their own, but believe me,
when it is about love, being a mixed family like mine, is great!
In A Gift from Heaven, You! there is a special
family, they are Little black bear, brown Mommy bear and white
Daddy bear. In this book Mommy bear talks to Little bear about his
birth Mommy. She tells him about the wonderful love of God for them
and some of the reasons why she loves him so much, she also answers
the questions that curious Little bear asks.
A Gift from Heaven, You!
In the city of bears lived black Little bear, brown Mommy bear and
white Daddy bear, they were a unique family, and some bears in the
city looked at them with love and others with curiosity. Being a
mixed family did not stop them for loving each other.
One beautiful afternoon in the forest, Little bear
and Mommy bear were sitting under a big shade tree beside the lake;
they were watching the sun go down and throwing rocks into the lake,
two of Little bear’s favorite things.
The sunset was so beautiful, some birds and planes
were flying across the clear sky, even some ducks were swimming in
the peaceful lake; the view in front of them was amazing, it looked
so perfect like it was painted by a heavenly hand.
While they threw rocks into the lake, Mommy bear
was telling Little bear how much she loved him, suddenly he stopped!
And with a tender look in his eyes and soft voice he asked …
“Mommy why do you love me?”
Mommy bear answered with a big smile “I love you
because you are my most precious and valuable gift from heaven,
Little bear.”
“I am precious and valuable Mommy?”
“Yes, you are!, My little one.
“Mommy, am I as precious and valuable as a
treasure chest?”
No, my little one, you are more precious and
valuable than all the treasure chests in the whole world.”
“Wow! How come I am so precious and valuable to
you Mommy?” Little bear asked with curiosity.
Rubbing one of his cheeks and looking at his
eyes, Mommy bear answered, “Because you are a gift from heaven, a
precious gift from God, because when I look at you I see His face,
and when you twinkle at me with those beautiful bright eyes and say
“Mommy I love you”, I feel like I’ve seen a piece of heaven.”
“Mommy, because I am a gift from heaven the
mail-man angel brought me home wrapped in a big box, right?”
“You are so funny Little bear and I love your
imagination! But God did not send you through the mail.”
Kind of disappointed Little bear said… “Can you
tell me then, how I got home?”
Mommy bear gave Little bear a big kiss on his
head, and looking at him with the most sweet and tender look on her
face she said …
“God chose another Mommy who carried you, fed you
and kept you warm in her tummy for nine months, then you were born
in a hospital, and it was time for me and Daddy bear to receive our
most precious and valuable gift from heaven, you!”
Little bear opened his big bright eyes and
asked … ”Do I have two mommies?”
Bringing him closer to her heart, Mommy bear
said … Yes, my little one you have two mommies, you are really
blessed you know, not so many children have that blessing, and the
best thing is that she loves you very much too.”
“How come God sent me to you Mommy?”
With tears in her eyes, Mommy bear answered …
“Because God knows everybody’s heart, and He knows
mine very well. He heard my prayers! I prayed for you with all my
heart and mind, I desired you more than anything!”
Smiling at her, Little bear said … “But Mommy, you
did not know me, how come you prayed for me?”
“Yes I knew you my child, every time I prayed I
closed my eyes really hard and I could see you exactly the way you
are. In my heart and in my dreams I heard your laughter, I saw your
big brown eyes and your beautiful dark skin; I always saw you just
the way you are.”
“How did God choose you to be my Mommy?”
“Well, my little angel,” Mommy bear said, “When you
were living in heaven, God opened a little window and showed you a
lot of moms to be, He asked you to choose one of them for her to be
your forever Mommy and … what do you think you did Little bear?”
With great excitement he asked … “What did I do? What did I do?”
“Hmmm …” Mommy bear said, “You chose me! But God
knew it all along, because He knows everything about you and me. He
created your little feet, your little hands and every part of your
little body. He knows about our past, our present and our future,
and He has planned our lives together since a long, long time ago.”
“Was my other Mommy ok with God’s plan?” Little bear whispered.
“Yes my little one, God talked to her and let her
know how much I would love your kisses, your hugs and everything
about you! He let her know that I would tell you about His love. She
knew too, how much you would love to be my most
precious and valuable gift from heaven!
She knows that God is love and that His ways are
perfect even when we do not understand them, so because of her love for
you, she was ok with God’s plan.”
“Should I love her too Mommy?”
“Yes Little bear, you have a big heart and you
should have a special place for her in it. She is very special too,
because God chose her as your birth Mommy,” Mommy bear said.
“Will I meet her some day Mommy?” Little bear
asked.
“With God all things are possible Little bear, you
need to pray and wait for the perfect time.”
While looking down, Little bear asked with a sad
voice … Mommy, do you love me although I don’t look like you or
Daddy?
Lovingly, Mommy bear rubbed his head and said …
“Don’t be silly my little one, you know that to me love is not about
looks. My love for you is a special feeling that comes from my heart
and it made my face light up since the first second I had you in my
arms.”
Mommy bear continued saying … “You are a handsome
Little bear and I wouldn’t change anything about you my little
angel!”
Little bear kissed Mommy bear on her cheek and
said … “Mommy, although I do not remember living in heaven and
looking through the little window you told me about, I am sure I
chose you as my forever Mommy, because you are the best Mommy any
Little bear could ever wish for.”
Mommy bear wept and hugged Little bear with all
her strength and said …
“God gave us each other for a reason, and He does
not make mistakes. Through our family He is just showing an example
of His love, It doesn’t matter where we come from or how we look. He
wants us to love each other because He loves us all the same.”
Then she said … “My little one, I love you with
all my heart and do not ever forget that you are my most precious
and valuable gift from heaven!”
While drying Mommy bear’s tears and twinkling his
eyes, Little bear said …
“Mommy, you are my special gift from heaven too, and I will always love
to hear you say that I am your most precious and valuable gift from
heaven!”
They hugged and laughed. “It is getting late,
we better find Daddy bear,” Mommy bear said.
When Little bear saw Daddy bear fishing on the
dock, he ran toward him as fast as he could and showered him with
huge kisses and hugs, suddenly he stopped! And with a tender look in
his eyes and soft voice he asked … Daddy why do you love me?”
