Who Is She?

     I think I have been the recipient of a tender mercy. I had a dream early this morning and I have thought about it all day long, and I think I know who she is.
     In my dream, we were just finishing Sacrament Meeting and were getting up to leave. I saw a young couple with a baby girl and asked to hold her. I knew it was a girl. This is unusual because I never ask to hold someone's baby, thinking that a mother and her baby are a single unit and I would never separate them. They hand the baby to me. Someone behind me gets my attention, someone gets the attention of the young parents. As I turn around again, the parents have moved on and out of the chapel.
     Next, I am in the car, still with the baby. I am feeling a bond with her, though she makes no noise and is too young to smile. Jay asks me to get him a hamburger on the way home. (This is very unusual for two reasons: he doesnt like hamburgers and we dont buy anything on Sundays) The thought crosses my mind that I really need to find those parents and give them their baby. They are going to be panicking! I could find myself in a lot of trouble. First of all, I took their baby out of the church, second, I took her into my car, and thirdly, I dont have a car seat. But I keep going. I am not driving so I cant turn the car around, the driver is determined to keep going. I am beginning to really bond with this baby. I feel a calmness with her. I feel overpowering love from her.
     Who is this lovely baby? She is very tiny, maybe only three or four pounds, only about 12 inches long. She has lots of black hair, her eyes havent found their color yet.
     I knew within a few minutes of waking up who she is. We are expecting a new granddaughter in January. I will miss her birth. She took time out of her busy schedule to come to me. She gave me a message of calmness and love for me. I dont know her name yet, but I know she is ready. I feel that she was able to come to me for a short moment before going into her body for her journey to earth.
     Welcome, little one. I love you.
