Pregnancy came at an undesirable time, recalls Laura.

        It came at the wrong time, and brought several risks along with it.

        She already had problems with her health and family and was also unemployed.

        Her first impulse was abortion. She took a tea that was meant to cause miscarriage, but instead of solving the problem, it made her even weaker.

        After recovering, she started looking for people who could take out the so-called problem for mothers who do not wish to take pregnancy to an end.

        But at that exact day, the doctor was ill and did not go to work..

        Laura went back home, with thousands of thoughts going through her mind.

        During the night, she had difficulty in falling asleep and when she finally did she dreamt about a handsome young man who was asking her something, but on the next morning, she could not define what it was.

        During the whole day, she kept that image in her mind, and it was so strong that she hardly remembered she was pregnant.

        On the following night, she dreamt again about the same young man, and woke up with a pleasant sensation, and a sweet thank you came into her mind.

        It was as if she could see his lips pronouncing those thankful words, and at the same time, an indefinite peace irradiated from his heart.

        She gave up the abortion and faced everything, got over all risks and came out victorious…

        Today, 23 years later, she listens to her handsome son making a speech in front of the crowd at his graduation ceremony:

        …I want to thank my mother specially, who fed my body and Spirit, giving me not only food, but also affection, companion, love and, above all, life.

        And looking straight into her eyes he pronounced in an unmistakable voice: Thank you!

        She had no doubts. That was the same sweet and pleasant thank you she heard in her dream 23 years ago…

        A woman who denies her womb to the son that God entrusts her, denies herself the opportunity to hear the happy song of an unprotected child asking her for kindness and security.

        She misses the opportunity to give birth to a Spirit asking for evolution, begging her for the chance to reincarnate, so that they can overcome the difficulties together and narrow their links of friendship and affection.

        If you are a woman and find yourself in Laura’s position, look at her example and allow yourself to be a mother.

        Allow yourself to feel, in a few months from now, the thankfulness in that little face asking you for the heat of your arms and the chance to live.

        Give yourself the most precious jewel on Earth that will adorn your neck: the child’s little fragile arms in a tender hug telling you:

        Thank you mommy, for allowing me to be born and grow up and to be part of this world, denied to so many sons of God.

        We will all be born again one day…

        If we keep denying the opportunity of reincarnation to Spirits we have committed with before birth, we might be denying ourselves the chance of having a mother or a father of our owns in the future.

        Think about it!
