Witnessing the birth of a newborn, no matter how often I experience it, is beautiful! I was blessed to do this a couple of days ago; the birthing of our 11th grandchild....I am still marveling at God's creativity when he put the birthing process in motion at the beginning of time. It is so awesome.
I am with my youngest daughter as she and her household transition into adding another tiny being to their little family circle. I loved the tears and joy on the faces of the parents at the birth of their second little girl. I was observing it as the tears surfaced for me as well. And then, the wonder on the faces of the two little people who later opened their hearts to the new baby sister!! I couldn't capture it on camera.... it just wasn't possible!!
When this process is referred to as "The Miracle of Birth", it is aptly named. It is truly nothing short of a miracle!! It is beautiful.....a wonderful masterpiece of God.
I am holding tiny hands and feet, stroking gorgeous, abundant, black hair, and feeling sweet, little breaths of new life on my cheek. I am feeling God's presence in the presence of this precious bundle of wonder!
Apparently, the people who can destroy life before it has a chance to start, have never experienced this miracle in the way God planned it to be!
New life comforts in a world of sorrow. I am having a hard time releasing myself from this enchanted little circle. My husband and other family members are in another part of the country feeling stressed at deadlines and unplanned hindrances in life. I am at peace with stroking a small cheek and smelling baby lotion!!!
Thank you Lord for the beauty of the present. Soon enough, I'll join the world where we move to a different beat. It's not that there aren't momentous and good times there as well, but nothing compares to this Miracle I have been so blessed to be a part of in this last week.
I love that I am starting memories with this new little person and I pray God to grant me many years of loving her!! And my crown is sparkling with another jewel!
