| She felt surprised, then honored, and priviliged that she would be the first one to tell the world that a new baby was born.
And such a special
baby. She sensed great things were about to
happen, when she went to the people that were camping
in the open fields. |

It was almost a shame to wake
them up and confront them with the freezing cold of
this clear winter night.
She had to smile when she
saw them waking up. one by one. They were in complete
amazement, got hold of each other, and some
faces even showed fear. |
|
"Don't be afraid", she said.
"I know you don't often see angels. Let alone guardian
angels. But I'm not something to be afraid of. I'm the
bringer of joy."
The last cloud faded away and
the moon and the stars seemed to shine brighter far more
brighter than other nights. |
|
"I bring you, the happy
message that a little child is born. And I'm sorry to say, but I need your help. The little boy is born under such poor conditions... He and his parents need all the help they can get. Please forget all the differences with others and join forces." | |
The people looked at each other. How could she ask this? They had been sleeping in the fields for some weeks now and no one cared. They had even been told to leave the streets of the little village when they went there to buy what they needed. Just because they looked different, belonged to another religion, or for some other reason. | |
The angel watched all these people and knew they were about to make the most important choice of their lives. Now she knew why God send her, the guardian angel of the new soul. People have far too much hatred, are far too unforgiving. | |
"So you can't put your differences aside", she said, "for a little baby? You can't even loosen yourselves from those unwanted emotions - those you dislike in others -, when Gods sends an angel to ask you to do so?" | |
The silence was swept over the fields by the wind.
"Is suspence and distrust, harted and war far more important than what you all say your religion teaches you?"
Clouds covered the stars and far away behind the mountains thunder was heard, sounding low and bold. | |
Finally a young woman stood up. She held a little bundle in her arms. Her young voice sounded clear and high. "I will go and share what I have. It is not much. But the other mother will know that she is not alone and has friends." | | All where silent.
"Where do I have to go, to find a baby like mine?", she asked.
The guardian angel smiled. "I'll guide you, with the light of the Star. And other angels will come to guide your people." |
|
And so it happened long ago. ... And so it can happen even now. We need not stick to pain nor let us be led into war. For we all have peace in our hearts and love and compassion. Like that young mother that walked through the fields. | |
