The Miracle of Life

My good friends had their first baby tonight. Watching them go through this has brought back the memories of my children being born. What an awesome experience that was. Sometimes I wish I could relive it, just to feel that joy of holding them for the first time again. Looking down into their faces, seeing their foggy little eyes looking back up at me. It's funny, there are babies born every second of the day, but for that moment, you feel as if yours is the only one. Such a miracle. We take it for granted, and say God doesn't perform miralces anymore. My friends have no idea how this little life is going to change them. Nothing is ever the same, nor do you wish it to be. When I try to think back of my life before I had kids...it doesn't seem like much of a life. Everything was about me. Now I am consumed with meeting the needs of these little people who need me so much. God could have chosen many different ways to snap us out of our selfishness. Wasn't he generous to let us learn by loving our children?

I happened across your blog. Welcome to the world of blogging. I have only been doing it a short time myself, but I find it a good way to organize my thoughts and have adult conversations while being surrounded by kids all day :)

Peace,
