Wish Came True

Rebecca always wanted to have a sister. She wanted her sister would have the same birthday as her. “So we would be twins!” she said with a smile, as if she had a sister already. She was 3~4 years old at that time.

Mommy wanted to have another girl, too. Rebecca was so sweet. Mommy wanted to have another baby just like her. Her heart rejoiced when she thought of two girls running around in the house and playing together. The desire to have another baby got stronger with time. She can’t stop feeling jealous every time she saw a pregnant woman. “Why it is not me?” She asked that question in her mind, but didn’t tell anyone.

Rebecca couldn’t wait any longer. She cried and questioned why she didn’t have a sister yet.

Daddy wanted Rebecca and Mommy to be happy. Their wish was his, too.

God is the one who makes wish come true. So Daddy, Mommy and Rebecca prayed and asked God to give them a baby at His time.

They prayed at dinner time and at bed time.

They prayed at home and at church.

They prayed insistently.

God answered their prayers and gave them a baby girl, who was named Gabriella (with Nick name Gabby). God chose Gabby's birth date one day before Rebecca’s 5th birthday. They would never be twins. Rebecca knew that at the first moment she saw Gabby in the hospital, who was wrapped in a receiving blanket. She didn't care. She had a sister anyway, and they would celebrate birthdays at the same time.

Their wish came true. Daddy, Mommy and Rebecca felt thankful for Gabby. They lived happily ever after.
