Babies!!!

There is little in life that is more exciting than the birth of a baby! There is something about a new life taking its first gasp of air and letting out that scream, letting everyone know "I'm here!" that warms and excites every heart involved. A dear, dear friend of mine here just gave birth to her first baby, a girl, but it was not a fun nor an exciting delivery. In fact it was riddled with complications; prayer alerts were sent out, and in the end, the baby was delivered via C-section. The happy parents then had to face having the baby whisked away less than 24-hours after her birth to the children's clinic where she is lying in an incubator because of lack of oxygen. Understandably, the parents are nervous, and wondering what will happen....will little Bori be ok? Even with the assurances of the doctors, they still fear the unknown. A new life in jeopardy, in their eyes. Struggling to survive. Many other lives praying and hoping that this little girl will be ok. Amazing, isn't it, how much we realize the value of life at times like these, and how we would do anything to keep this baby girl with us because her life is valuable and precious? May we see every life in the same way, no matter what stage in the life-process that person may be. Every situation causes us to trust in the grace and love of our Lord for life!
