Babies! A total gift from God that fills me with unexplainable wonder and awe. Each new life I hear about, each pregnant woman I see, each baby I snuggle in my arms--these things fill me with deep joy! Babies are a reminder that life is a gift and of utmost worth. As I grow older, I come to understand more and more what a gift having a baby is, and what a responsibility as well. I recently have found out about two dear friends around my own age who are due to have a baby this summer. A new life to raise and teach all about life holds heavy responsibility. A rather humbling thought to consider and exciting possibility to consider if God blesses me with such a gift someday, and always to set a godly example to the young ones in my life....
"Little fingers curled 'round mine
A perfect heart beats right in time
Brand new eyes look all around
As tiny ears hear every sound
And like the artist creates his masterpiece from nothing
So this child came to be
From the love of two came a whole new entity
And that's what amazes me"
