"But where are we going?" I asked my darling as we walked down the long streets, he didn't answer, he just smiled with that, "you'll see" look on his face.
As we came aroung the corner, i saw where we were headed, a little jewlers store with a big christmas sign in the window.
When we reached it, just before we stepped inside,he whispered to me "Its time to get you a chirstmas present."
Once inside i looked around, there were many beautiful jeweled pendants all around in many shapes colours and sizes.
"Oh can i choose one?" I asked him
"But i already had somethinmg in mind"
"But can't i choose one anyway?" i said looking at him pleadingly
"Alright, if it'll make you happy" he replied with a sigh
Quickly i spotted a beautiful emerald pendant, and i decided that it was what i wanted more than anything else, but before i got to it, someone else bought it, I was shattered, but my love came, brushed his hand against my cheek and said,
"There are plenty others, keep looking."
So I did just that and soon i saw another pendant that made the emerald one look dull in comparison, i happily picked it up and my baby fastened it around my neck.
When i went to look in the mirror i was horrified at what i saw, the necklace didn't suit me at all, it drained all the colour from my face and totally swamped by the bright shiny gleam of it.
So i put it back on the shelf, i tried jewel after jewel but none seemed right, finally i turned to him and said
"I give up, you choose for me."
He smiled knowingly and with out saying a word reached down for a small box on the bottonm shelf, he opened it and inside was a clear crystal pendant, it did not look at all special to me, It even had a chip in it.
Quickly i suggested someone else who it might be a better gift for, but he didn't reply, he just held it up to the light and i gasped at what i saw, the light reflected off it and filled the entire shop with the most beatiful rainbows in thi brightest clours i'd ever seen, and because it was chipped it split the light in such a way that there was nowhere in the room that was not covered in amazing rainbows.
Slowly he brought it back down and placed it in my hands, cupping his own around mine, then he, my sweet Jesus, whispered;
"This one, is for you."
dedicated to my other darling :P love u :*

WOAH!!! that was beautiful!!! it is truly amazing, did you get it? i am really impressed but also touched, it holds some really deep truths, sometimes we just want to choose by ourselves and do our way, and the Lord in his infinite mercy and love for us, lets us try it and see for ourselves that it indeed is not the best, till we, at the end, come to Him asking him for his counsel, Healways knows best, and always gives us the best, just the perfect thing for us. it really is amazing, TYJ for beeing like that to us! we don't deserve you nor your love...
it really is beautiful... GBY Bella! ILY! >:D< BTW, if u did get this u should send it to mama maria to include somewhere in a letter, so that everybody can benefit from it.
