Aria’s Dream
On the first day God created Heaven and Earth. God chose Heaven as his home and made it a beautiful paradise. God then created the Cherubs. These beautiful birdlike creatures have wings to help them watch over land and sea. The Cherubs continually praise, love and guard over God to show their delight.
Among this chosen group of Angels is Aria. Aria loved her home. She especially enjoyed flying through the myriad of green spaces, the vineyards that graced the mountains with her gossamer wings that glimmered in the sunlight. There were many gardens with flowers of all colors and varieties. As the rains would come Aria would marvel how they would perk up.
As flocks of birds sang peaceful tunes orchestrated by Angels, Aria’s melodious voice could be heard throughout the Kingdom.
Rivers house fish of all sizes… from the tiniest to the largest. They loved Aria and would jump with joy when she would visit.
She also watched as the animals roamed the forests enjoying Heaven’s gifts and glory.
But Aria had a dream. She desperately ached to experience life on Earth. Aria continued to be faithful, served God and prayed patiently for her dream to come true. Aria would often go to God and plead to become human. God would tell Aria that the time for her had not yet come, and she must allow be patient. Patience was not an attribute that Aria possessed.

Each day souls entered the Kingdom of Heaven. They came from every tribe and nation. Here they would find eternal rest. The Cherubs and Angels were there to welcome them and to provide comfort and peace as they transitioned into their new life.
Each soul is given a choice to go on to their Heavenly reward or to be a Guardian Angel to stay and watch over those left behind to make sure they grow in …faith, hope and love.! Humans, we can often feel their presence.
When that is accomplished, these souls join their loved ones that passed before and were anxiously waiting to be reunited.
Aria enjoyed watching humans interacting. She would often follow some throughout their lives. Aria longed to experience life as she would hear from the Angels tell of their experiences on Earth.
Aria awoke one morning, and she heard a strange sound. It was the sound of two
heartbeats. She felt for her wings and found they replaced with arms. She jumped for joy in her mother’s womb. Then she heard a voice crying in pain. Her mother was giving birth. Aria cried for joy as she took her first breath as a human. Her parents were overjoyed and decided to name their new baby, Aria.
Aria’s dream had come true.
