Life

The other day our 19 month old grandson, Aiden looked at his Mom's pregnant belly and asked, "What's that?"
Last night I got to feel the baby move. How delightful. How precious. How thought provoking... Wasn't it just a short time ago Evelyn lay on the operating table having a C section for the second time? I heard the nurse say, "Blood pressure dropping." Evelyn moaned as she started to pass out. I squeezed her hand and said, "Where's my baby girl?" At that moment the doctor lifted a healthy child from Evelyn's womb, and one of the nurses asked, "How'd you know she was girl, Dad?" (We didn't have any pre-testing done.) Ev's blood pressure stabilized and in a few moments I was holding Stephanie.
The first six months of her little life she cried a lot, but from the day she learned to crawl she became one of the happiest, most delightful children I've ever met.

(NLT)Psalm 127:3-5
Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him. [4] Children born to a young man are like arrows in a warrior's hands. [5] How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them! He will not be put to shame when he confronts his accusers at the city gates.

I thank Yahweh for my children. They are a blessing from Him.
