He already Has

My Baby is here! On April 2^nd God rustled her soft cocoon and said it’s time, precious gift. Now it is time. The Baby that use to lie within me now lays in my arms. This is something I cannot get over. I thought that maybe after two or three kids I would have become numb to the miracle of birth. But I am just in aw with the whole process, even more so than I used to be.  With each one, I feel more and more blessed and I cannot get past the feeling of,” My cup runneth over”. I would have taken my baby in any shape or form.  So I feel even more blessed when I see all those little parts so perfectly made down to the smallest vein. I read Psalm 139 many times during my pregnancy. I knew this to be true about my baby girl and one day I hope she will know this for herself. “For You formed my inward parts: You wove me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;” (Psalm 139:13-14)

 I find myself staring at all her little features.

I’m amazed by the curvature of her ear.

 the creases on her fingers

The plumpness of her lips

Her feathery eye lashes

And even her crooked toe, it’s perfect.

(What happens when you use up every last minute in the womb?

You run out of room for your pinkie toe!)

A lot of times people see a blessing as a lot of money, a new car, a big house, good health, or a life of leisure. Sometimes even what may at first appear to be a curse works out to be a blessing. God blesses different people in different ways. But many times in the Bible it states children as being gifts, rewards, or blessings. A lot of people would not consider five children as a blessing. Actually, I think I ran into most of these people during my pregnancy. With their eyes wide and jaws dropped all they could think of was,” why would someone want five kids?”. One lady, when hearing that all of these children were indeed mine responded, “God bless you”. So I responded, “He already has”. Most days when I wake up in the morning to my five children I don’t always see them as blessings. But one thing my children have taught me is while we sit around wondering when God is going to bless us we just need to remember “ He already has”.
