• May. 5, 2008 - A Special Baby Shower

Over the week-end Bethany and I attended a very special baby shower.  Even though we don't know the babies the shower was for, God knows each and every one and is intimately acquainted with them.  A woman in our church had the idea of having a shower for the local pregnancy care center.  They are in constant need of diapers and other baby supplies.  We were given a list of things that were needed along with the invitation.  What fun I had in the baby aisles at Wal-Mart picking out the gifts I would bring.  Sweet memories crowded my mind as I reminisced about our three babies.      At the shower we enjoyed sweet fellowship, refreshments and oohed and awed over all of the baby things.  We each took part in opening up the presents.  The director of the center along with another staff member and volunteer were there and shared their hearts and a little bit about the center and their ministry.  We took some time to pray for the staff and all of the women/girls who come to the center for help.      Bethany (17) asked the director if there was anything she could do to help the pregnancy care center.  They get bags and bags of baby clothes and are in need of someone sorting, cleaning and organizing these clothes.  Bethany is a wonderful organizer and looks forward to volunteering over the summer.  She also plans on having a baby shower for the center in our home.  What a wonderful opportunity to serve a precious and very needed ministry in our area.       My prayer is that this idea will spread and that soon there will be many baby showers for pregnancy care centers all across our country.      One of my friends found these little crocheted baby booties with the verse and all at a garage sale on Saturday.  The director said she would love to have a pair of these to give to each woman who visited the center.
