I'm sorry, Mayflower- I didn't read properly. Of course no PMs as that is the BEST and most RESPECTFUL to spouses. Of course, we can always talk on here.
(I think so too.
Though you and Hidden In Him are wonderful brothers in Christ. I am so grateful for both of you. So if you still want to write, let's just write here if you are on here more? I can share at CB when the story is done.

"You need not worry" the royal princess said to the gardener. "She's not ready herself to live in this home being prepared for her." She showed the place to her. "It will be your perfect home because your heavenly Father will make it in a way that you will enjoy. In heaven, everything is customized for you and you alone ... you will feel most at home here. I wanted you to see this place the Lord prepares for those who love and obey Him."
She let Elaynah look around the place and discover the wonder of it all ...
Elaynah looked around. There were flowers of every type around. There was no way she could choose. Some of these varieties she had never seen before.The sweet fragrance along with being surrounded with feelings of peace and safety brought her to tears. "What is that box?" She asked? It seemed like a wooden rectangular box made out of the smoothest wood.
The princess went over to the box; it was on the larger side, it didn't just fit in someone's hand. She kneeled before it and unlocked the box, but didn't open it. It seemed very full ...
"These are your rewards ... but while your Heavenly Father would love for you to see them now, I think Jesus would love to give them to you. I will take one out though ... one to give you now ... for proof that you really did visit her." The princess gave her a smaller wooden box. "Open it with someone special ... now, I must bring you back and you must not tell David what you have seen. What he needs right now will not be shown to him here. It will be shown to him in the upper room where the kids sleep and play and celebrate ... and *you* will be leading them." She [

Elaynah fingered the box trembling, and stuck it in her pocket along with the envelope from the room. She took one last glimpse of the house being prepared for her as the princess lead her away from the house and back to the room where David and the kids were at.
She just sat there staring at David, her eyes sparkling with the hope of what she had just seen.
The room seemed to quiet down and become a normal looking room; Elaynah, David, and all the kids were in the room. It seemed to be a normal play area now and it looked nothing like it had before.
Gabriela said "What's it like in an orphanage? I need to decide if I want to be in one." She smiled, but was still protective of her younger brother, Ricky.
David mentioned "Well, maybe this is supposed to be a house for orphans? At least, that's the way I felt when I first came in."
"Just think of it as a temporary resting stop. For kids as sweet as you, you won't be there long... But if you decide to, ours is on a ranch. We have horses and a playground...most importantly, people to talk to." Elaynah smiled assuringly at Gabriella. She fingered the box in her hand.
"And you know... This was given to me as a special reward, but I want to give it to you as a gift..." Elaynah said. "Just a reminder to always have hope and to go forward boldly, because you are never alone."
