Christmas at the Rainbow Bridge
As the midnight hour approaches on Christmas Eve, a tremendous
celebration begins. If you listen closely you will hear the exuberant sound of
Bridgekids preparing for the remarkable moment that comes but once a year.
Puppies romp through the tall green grass, chasing butterflies and rolling over
and over until fits of giggles bring them to a tumbling stop. The volume
increases as kittens, cats, tigers and lions purr in pure delight while the
wings of snow white doves gently caress the air. The babbling brook that runs
beneath Rainbow Bridge overflows onto the edge of mossy banks and fins of
treasured aquatic life quiver in anticipation of this most joyous event. Nestled
in the midst of this happy choir of Bridgekids are the littlest angel tots
staring in awe at the majestic Christmas tree adorned with flowing strands of
angel hair. Effervescent, twinkling stars seesaw elegantly from the sky and land
in glorious harmony upon the stoic limbs of Heaven's most perfect Christmas
tree. Swaying to and fro in nearby rocking chairs are grandmothers,
grandfathers, parents, aunts, uncles and loved ones. The sound of their
whispered lullabies permeate the air as they sing to tiny angel babies resting
quietly in their arms.
Like magic the clock approaches midnight and a great stirring is heard in the
distance. Each Bridgekid stops and listens, knowing the time is near, and they
choose a fleecy cloud on which to snuggle. The roar of purrs drops to barely an
audible hum, the babbling brook ripples hypnotically and the flutter of downy
feathered wings fall silent. Heaven's spirited toddlers climb expectantly upon
the laps of angels while babies coo in tranquil unison.
Amidst the warm glow of candle light which rises from the earth below, the arms
of the Bridge Keeper envelop the heavens and into the precious hands of each
child and in front of each animal a holy gift is placed. With grand exuberance
the ribbons are removed and left to fly on a tender breeze where they dissolve
into showers of angel dust. As the golden lids of these heavenly gifts are
raised, an amazing aura fills the sky, reaching down to the very core of the
earth. Ascending from each and every box is the greatest gift of all unending,
unconditional, all-encompassing love. This blessed love gently wraps itself
around the cherished souls of heaven, warming their hearts with beacons of
radiant light and bringing forth from angels an exquisite chorus.
As the clock strikes midnight the distance between heaven and earth is vanished.
It is at this very moment on Christmas Eve that the Bridge Keeper, His children,
angels and Bridgekids send a message to their earthly loved ones on the wings of
this unbridled love.
Listening carefully with an open heart we will hear the familiar voice of our
own angel whisper softly into our ear their Christmas message; "Let me
share with you this love of mine, always and forever. When you need me know that
I am here. I have not left you for I am in your heart where I belong. Our love
is eternal as is the brilliant glow of candlelight, which illuminates the path
to the heavens and Rainbow Bridge. I wait patiently as do you for our inevitable
and glorious reunion. I love you, I love you, I love you."
