A long, long time ago there was a Mommy and a Daddy. The Mommy and the Daddy loved each other more that anything in the world. In fact, they loved each other so much that their lovin' cups were over flowing. The love from their lovin' cup was over flowing everywhere. It flowed out of their hearts, onto the floor, out the front door and into the street! Everywhere they went, everyone knew that Mommy and Daddy had a lot of love.
The Mommy and Daddy decided that they needed to share some of their love. They decided to ask God if they could have a baby. God said, "yes" and put a baby in the Mommy's tummy. That baby was born and the Mommy and Daddy named him Bit. The Mommy and Daddy loved Bit so much. He was a sweet, wonderful little boy and had a great big heart. Bit had a big heart like his Mommy and Daddy. Now, the Graham family had a new problem. Instead of having two loving cups that were overflowing- out of their hearts, onto the floor, out the front door and into the street; The Grahams had three loving cups. There was love spilling EVERYWHERE!!! No one could catch all of the love that was surrounding them.
So this time, Mommy, Daddy and Bit decided to talk to God again and ask Him for another person to love. This time, God said that the baby would not come from the Mommy's tummy and they wouldn't go get him from a hospital. Instead, God would pick a special baby. One that had a great big lovin' cup to fill. The baby that needed it's cup filled the most. God would send that baby to them with one of his angels. So, the Graham's waited and waited. They waited for what seemed like forever. Finally, one day they got a telephone call asking if they wanted a baby. The Mommy knew in her heart that this was the baby that God had planned for their family and soon their lovin' cups would stop spilling over. So, she said, "Yes!!"
That night, God sent his angel to the Graham's home. The angel told the family that she was bringing the family the baby to love, but she didn't know how long that the baby would get to stay. The angel said, "More that anything, this baby needs love right now. But, if God decides that another family needs this baby more, I will have to take him there." The angel brought the baby to their home and nothing else, no clothes, no bottles, no toys- the baby had none of the things that other babies had waiting for them when they came home from the hospital. That was ok, because the next week when she came to check on the baby she realized that the baby, who the family called Biscuit, had clothes and toys. She also realized that his lovin' cup was very, very full. In fact, she realized that the entire Graham family's lovin' cup was perfectly full. Love had stopped spilling everywhere. This news made her very happy. Though the Grahams were very scared that Biscuit could be taken away, they continued to love Biscuit as if he were already theirs- which is what God knew that he needed.
A long, long time passed and God finally told the angel that it was time to make official, on Earth, what Heaven already knew. God said, that the angel's job was done, everyone's lovin' cups were perfect, and it was time to talk to the Judge.
When the day came to talk to the Judge, Bit talked to the Judge. He told the Judge about everyone's lovin' cups over flowing before God sent Biscuit. He explained that now our family's lovin' cups were perfectly filled and he wanted Biscuit to be his little brother forever. The Judge listened carefully to everything that Bit said and after careful consideration said, "Yes!!" So, the family went home, without worry that they would ever be separated. Their lovin' cups were perfectly filled and everyone got refills any time they needed them. That is how the Graham went from two overflowing to a family of four perfectly filled lovin' cups.
The End... or is it just the beginning?? :)
