LOOKING AT A MIRACLE

What a beautifully, awesome and wonderful day the Lord blessed me with yesterday. I just have to share my thoughts with you today or my heart will explode with the wonder of it all!!

Jill, Mark and little Nathan will have a new member of the family to join them in June. She had an appointment with her doctor yesterday and invited me to come along to view the sonogram with her. Since all my girls were born before something like this was ever heard of, I jumped at the chance!! When Chad was born (my first grandchild) I saw a "photo" of a sonogram and of all the other grand children since but, I had never seen a "live" test performed until yesterday.

My heart was in my throat as soon as the nurse started running the scanner over Jill's little tummy. There on the big screen I witnessed the miracle of that little baby that God was building for us. It was as if I was looking right into that little face, my heart melted!! Then, the baby started reaching out those little hands, and stretching out those little legs and then there was that tiny heart going "thump, thump, thump" right in front of my eyes. (Who could ever doubt the truth of a life even at this early stage of development)? I could have stayed there and watch those moments unfold all afternoon; it was hard to leave and turn that machine off again. I just wanted to reach out and hold this precious gift in my arms. But, alas, God's plan takes nine months and I must wait. I am so thankful to know that no matter what tomorrow may hold, I have already seen this little baby; the baby God has chosen to bless our family with and the baby that we all have already begun to love.

How amazing it was to witness such a beautiful picture of God at work. Thank you Jill for allowing me this moment and thank you, Lord, for numbering my days so that I might behold this moment. Life is precious and each life He creates is truly a masterpiece. I have seen first hand---"The Miracle of His Love".

I love you guys,
Judy
