GOD'S GIFT ( The Face We Never Forgot - Elisa)
It was just past midnight, when Elisa Voight Willard woke up with a start. Once again, she had dream about that mysterious house in the mountain, which the door she never managed to open. This night however, it wasn't the dream that woke her up, but the cries from her 4-year old son John Curtis, who got scared by the thunders and bolts that cut the sky. Besides that, she was worried, her husband Curtis was still on the hospital, to his nightshift and he was going to be caught by the rain.
Taking a deep breath, as John Curtis continue to call for her, Elisa get out the bed and head to her son's room, just to find him hiding under the covers, in fear of the thunders.
''Mommy!'' he called and with a smile, Elisa take the covers away and pick him up.
''There's my boy'' she smiled ''What's the matter, sweetie?'' she asked quietly, sitting with him, at the rocking chair and carries his hair, as he hides his little face on her nightgown.
''Mommy, I'm scared!' he cried. As the rain continued to shake the shutters and thunder Elisa was like a rock as she slowly began to rock with the movements.
"It's okay my baby boy" Elisa cooed kissing him gently on the forehead. "It's god rocking you to sleep." She said said as she could feel John Curtis's tears falling against her chest. "The rain is his lullaby. The Lightning is his nightlight. But you'll see soon enough his precious gift of all."
Mommy, tell me a story'' he asked and Elisa smiled, still rocking him back and forth.
''Alright…'' she started as she rock her son back to sleep, while remembering the strange dream she had that night ''Right there, up in the mountain, there is a small house and inside it, theres a happy family, just like us… Every time its rain, they get themselves together to hear it fall down, as they know, that the rain is a gift from God, with the rain, they had water on the river and trees, to protect them from the sun, after a day of work'' she said
''Mama, you had been on a mountain already?'' John Curtis asked ''You really like mountains''
''Yes I do'' she said ''But I never had been in one'' she said as she started to sing a nice lullaby, for her son to sleep.

Two hours later, the rain had stop and Curtis made his way safely back home. Once arriving there then, he noticed the bedside light from John Curtis room on.
Curious, he tiptoed approached the room, just to spot both his wife and son sleeping peacefully on the rocking chair. With a smile then, he turn off the light and close the door, letting his family sleep peacefully after that awfully, storm.
