Mary asked, “What’s your birthday wishes, Jesus”~

Mary Magdeline met Jesus in his yard.
 
"Hi ya Jesus. I’m really hungry. My students really were taxing my brain, today."
 
"Hi Mary. My mom will have dinner ready soon."  Jesus knew that Mary wasn’t just referring to physical hunger. She wanted to taste the morsels of God. So he would enlighted her about a few things…
 
"Mary, I knew that you were coming to Nazareth to teach, again. Actually, I set everything in motion." Jesus smiled at Mary’s astonished face.
 
"So, Jesus, you knew how hard the last eleven years have been for me; and how so many times I thought of quitting my job, and coming back here to live again?"
 
"Yes, Mary.  You kept me up many a nite, praying for you."
 
"So Jesus, I was still bringing you to your dad, huh? There’s no one quite like me, huh Jesus?"
 
Jesus heart leapt. His smile confirmed Mary’s intuition.  "Mary, eleven years ago the town wasn’t ready for a women teacher like you. But now it is. The rabbi in town is full of wisdom. And unbeknownst to my mom, I inspired her to talk to the rabbi about a scholarly teacher in you. And in that manner, I’ll have someone that I really need..someone that I will always need for my ministry…to bring the Good News to the entire world.  You will be a great spark towards that achievement, in years to come."
 
Mary did the most natural thing in the world: she took Jesus’s hand. Her eyes shown with such deep love for him.
 
She said, So tell me, Jesus, what do you want for your birthday?"
 
"I want all men to be saved. I want people to love my father will their entire being, with all their strength. I want people to give the gift of love to themselves, so that they can then give the gift to others.  I want all men to rest in me..to rest in the bosom of my dad. I want all men’s heart..all men’s souls…all men’s bodies to be healed! I want to bring paradise, again, to earth. I want people to know the gift of peace that is beyond all understanding. Those are a few of my birthday requests, Mary!"
 
"Wow, Jesus.  I guess that the son of God wants birthday gifts that will bless others with peace love and joy. The birthday boy cares nothing for himself, huh?"
 
"Well, Mary, I think that you are my birthday gift. I think that my birthday desires are your desires. So may I even dare say that you are my perfect birthday gift?"
 
Jesus wore that divine smile that was reserved for Mary!
 
Mary felt like she was about to swoon when Jesus held her.
 
Mary’s mom had been watching the unfolding drama take place, from her kitchen. She was weeping tears of great joy. She knew that just as Mary needed Jesus, Jesus needed Mary to be that confidant, the one who he could lean on, whose sholder would be there for him, for all time. And of course she knew that her son who was such a great actor: had arranged everything, so that they would be together again……
