The
Story Behind Mary's Dream
Mary's Dream began one evening in 1996. My husband and I had just moved our youngest son Mark to a bedroom downstairs. He said he was afraid so I started looking around his room for a stuffed animal. But none were to be found. I reached over and took a statue of Jesus that Mark had by his bed. I told him not to be afraid because Jesus is always with him and he could pray to Jesus to overcome his fears. I placed it on his pillow and covered up Mark and Jesus with a blanket. It seemed so natural and it put Mark at ease. I then said "Gee Mark, I am sorry he is not soft." I couldn't believe what I had just said! Just minutes before I was looking for a stuffed animal to comfort him! That is how the idea for a soft Jesus doll was born. Mark still has a Jesus Doll on his bed. It reminds him to say his prayers every night. I have received many wonderful stories from people who have purchased my dolls even in the early stages of its development. These stories encouraged me to keep going because sometimes the road seems so hard. Thank you Lord, family and friends. Without you, "My Loving Jesus Doll®" wouldn't have happened!
