Little Person awoke to his surprise he was at the house he lived. He was in his bedroom. He was stunned. He rubbed his eyes and thought was all that I went through a dream?
He looked down and there was his note book and his ancient book that spoke to him.
He rose and went quickly down the hall and shouted, I’ m here. No answer.
Anybody here?
There was no answer.
He ran through the whole house and ran out the front door and then ran through the back door. Yelling all the way, hello? No one was there.
There was not a radio or a sound.
Little Person was wondering where everyone was.
He sat down on the couch. Then jumped up and ran up to his room and grabbed his notebook. Then he ran his fingers through his ancient book.
He knew by grabbing his books that what happened to him in meeting the Holy One was real. He was disoriented being back without any mention of it from the Holy One.
He started to cry because he did not want to leave that special place. He asked if he did anything wrong. He asked, where are You Lord, my King?
Then Little Person was wiping his eyes and he thought he heard a horse whinny and snort. He thought no that can’t be right, I must have just wanted to hear a horse as I blew my nose.
Then he heard it again. He dropped everything. He tore around the corner of his room and flew down the hall. Little Person proceeded to slide down the banister and flew out the front door.
His parents were there with a horse tethered in his dad’s hand. They sang out Happy Birthday to Little Person.
He was so shocked that time stood still. His mouth dropped open and might even hit the ground with astonishment.
All Little Person could see was the gray, (white), mare snorting and stamping her hooves with excitement too.
His parents’ faces were beaming with excitement too. They waited patiently for Little Person to come back to earth and receive his gift.
Little Person thoughts spoke to his King- Lord, you planned this from the start. You knew my birthday was here when I forgot…… You again answered my prayers.
How great You are….. You do things beyond what I think or can even imagine. You gave me a horse- even a white one! Thank You and thank You. You are the Greatest!
Son, spoke as his parents tried to get him back to earth, this mare is for your birthday. You did such a good job with the horses at the barn. We were told by Peter how hard you worked to help the horses for the handicap. Peter heard of this special mare needing a good home. We knew you wanted one. She is trained just for you. Happy Birthday son!
His face was hidden by all his teeth showing based on his smile that went from ear to ear. He said- Wow, thank you guys. You are the best parents ever!
He asked, what is her name?
They answered, Aaliyah.
He approached her with his arm extended.
He thought he misunderstood her name and asked again, what is her name?
His dad said, Aaliyah.
He tried to pronounce it correctly but couldn’t.
He came close to her and laid his hand on her strong neck.
She brushed her nose against him and snorted.
He started to walk her to the back yard.
They said son, no, she cannot stay with us.
Peter will board her at the stables. You can ride your bike anytime to see her. Peter will help you learn to ride her. Aaliyah will get to know you, too.
Tears were in his eyes on how this was all happening. The Holy One answered his prayers through his parents. He had not even told them what had happened yet.
They did not even seem to miss him for all the days he was gone. But his attention was toward this beautiful mare and covered in the awesomeness of God.
They loaded Aaliyah into the trailer. They all got into the truck and headed to the stables.
He asked if they could stop and get some carrots for the mare.
He never did find out what the name of Aaliyah meant for many days even to years…… He was busy just trying to remember how to spell and pronounce it.
Aaliyah’s name meant to arise or ascend. The Holy One picked her just for him. He did not know how planned his God was in every day living, but He was learning how great is His love.
The days turned to years. When Little Person rode Aaliyah, he was covered in the grace of God. He was taught on their adventures many mighty things from the Holy One.
Little Person started to share all his adventures with his family and they thought he had just a very vivid imagination. They did not believe him.
They said, child, you must stop eating pizza before you sleep. They forgot they never had pizza in the house…… He just would shake his head and ask God to let them see Him….. Please, Lord.
They blamed all his supernatural spiritual adventures in God on the natural and never took in to account, that God was wanting an active part in their mundane lives…… He wanted to get in their lives to reveal how special they are to Him……. Their lives were not to be living from natural but with Him the supernatural is to become their natural…… They were to learn their lives are not to be mundane but superior and exciting in all things because of I AM. I AM is here knocking.
He shared of His King dying on the cross for all of us but they said, yes, child, we know….. But they did not want to make his King their own…..
They seemed to want Him to stay at a distance.
Little Person could not understand his family’s lack of interest.
He even told them that he had asked him for a white horse to ride and He answered Little Person. They did not see what He did.
He remembered that Holy One told him that same thought.
So Little Person started to pray as he rode his white horse.
He prayed for the right words to speak that would bring the awareness of Holy One to his family.
He kept rereading all that happened to him during that special event with Holy One. He studied his ancient book and learned many things.
But as he learned, he never forgot Holy One. He saw His smile in all his days.
He grew older physically but felt as a baby in the way of Holy One.
He rode off beyond the boundaries one day. He was not sure where he was, but kept going in the freedom he was enjoying.
As Little Person stopped at a river to water his mare. He heard a noise and was startled as Aaliyah spooked. He was thankful to God that her hooves did not land on his foot!
He turned and saw a familiar sight, Old Man was there.
Little Person was so excited he ran and left the mare behind. He jumped and almost knocked down Old Man with his embrace.
The mare faithfully followed as she trotted to nudge Old Man with her nose. She whinnied and snorted. She was as excited as Little Person to see Old Man.
Old Man chuckled and embraced both of His affectionate friends.
Little Person asked, where have You been? I have missed You. Sir, why have you come? I am so glad to see You again.
Old Man smiled and hugged both of them and turned to the river to get a drink too.
Then he gestured for them to follow Him to a huge rock. Little Person wondered where the rock came from. All around were fields of wheat and an occasional tree for shade.
Old Man sighed as He sat on the rock and Little Person sat next to Him.
Little Person knew to wait on Old Man to speak at His pace. He got up and released the bit on the mare so she could graze on the grass.
Little Person noticed that every movement Old Man made, the mare would turn her ear to Him and adjust her gaze and stance to watch Him.
Little Person wondered how they knew each other. He started to ask Old Man but, Old Man started to speak.
Our King’s people are looking away from Him these days. They are looking at everything and even men to fix the dark conditions of your day.
Look at all the wheat before you child. Should the harvest come and be cultivated to be put in barns that house people who do not listen or even know His voice?
My Sheep hear My voice……But those who do are a made a mockery instead of the normal way of Christ’s followers. This should not be……Can you follow God and mammon or baal?
Will not what the heart follow speak from the heart and hear only what the heart wants to hear?
Is it not written, the just shall live by faith?
Little Person just sat with his mouth opened having no answer to His question. He was not sure he even understood to answer.
He thought is this what they say is a rhetorical question?
Old Man wiped the sweat from His brow and sighed as He put His hands on His thighs. He turned and smiled at Little Person.
He spoke, Our King sees your diligence on your studies and keeping your ear to Him. Do not be discouraged on not all understanding, just keep praying for their opening the door of their heart to His.
Sir, did I do something wrong to have to come back here? I have wondered why I was not told that I was coming back to my home.
Old Man smiled, child, were you not surprised?…..Afterall, it was your birthday……He wanted to show you there is no break between time and eternity……..
Oh yes, I was, said Little Person, I was just stunned to back home so quickly……..
Old Man spoke, but Aaliyah was a greater stunning. Hmmmm, yes?
Little Person smiled and said, yes Sir.
Do not accept the limitations of man. You shall follow Him to places that are wide and deep beyond all you can see. Stay close to Him. You are well loved and blessed.
I see the mare is taking good care of you and you of her.
Just as Little Person was going to ask Old Man how they knew each other…..
Old Man spoke again……..Little Person turned to watch Him as did the mare……..
Chapter to follow, God willing.
Turn to Holy One. He is the only Answer.
Hear Him today.
SELAH!!
