My friend just gave birth to her 3rd baby. I was so privileged and honored to be able to be at the birth. There is nothing like a baby being born, to get you to remember what life is all about. For just one moment, a first breath is taken, a first cry is heard, and a new life has begun. “We fancy that God can only manage His world with battalions, when all the while He is doing it by beautiful babies. When a wrong wants righting, or a truth wants preaching, or a continent wants opening, God sends a baby into the world … perhaps in a simple home and of some obscure mother. And then God puts the idea into the mother’s heart, and she puts it into the baby’s mind. And then God waits. The greatest forces in the world are not the earthquakes and the thunderbolts. The greatest forces in the world are babies.”

It is such an intense and beautiful thing to see.
At those moments no one can deny that there is a God and that he has a plan.
That's cool that you got to be there.
that quote made me cry!!!
not that it's a bad thing... :)
Oh wow that is so awesome! Makes me excited to have my own.
I am sorry that we did not get together before I left. But we should for sure get back together when I am down in August.
Keep in touch.
