Baby Love

A tiny flicker of life, precious in His sight. A heart and a soul, while still dividing cells. A miracle.

Today my heart jumped as I saw the flutter of my new baby's heartbeat. Such a fragile, tiny life but such a huge miracle. Never commonplace, always a creation beyond conprehension, priceless beyond the earth's greatest treasures.

Today my heart expanded to include this newest part of our family, a most welcome and wanted addition. With a first baby, it's surreal; with the third, it's love at first sight.

The wonder of a new baby never ceases, every step of the way. What will it be? Who will it look like? Who are you? Whatever the answer to those questions, a few truths: you are fearfully and wonderfully made, you were planned in Heaven long before on earth, you are precious in His sight.

Little Baby, grow. Little Baby, thrive. Little Baby, love.
