Little Ones, Lovingkindness

It seems as if the Lord is bringing forth new life in so many families around us. What a joy! What a reminder of His blessings! I want to especially rejoice in the births of Marlowe and Connar.
And we are continuing to wait (not for long, though!) with Heather and Aliza. Just a few more months, and more babies will be born (including those to non-blogging friends!)
“As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you.”
The Lord reveals an aspect of His nature to us both in word and in the examples we see in His creation.
May the mothers and children around us be the living illustrations of God’s goodness, faithfulness, and lovingkindness; and may we look to the God of all comfort in our everyday needs.

Praise the Lord for new life!
Hi Tulip Girl!
Thanks for your comments! It’s funny because your post (and the beautiful art) really touch me too! I wrote a song about a year ago (but just finished and recorded last night), a song essentially about your last two paragraphs! It was inspired by seeing my little sisters expecting and that catechism concept of creation (and babies!) declaring God’s character and workmanship.
“The heavens declare the glory of God, the skies proclaim His workmanship”.
I’ll send you the lyrics if I can find your email!
~Blessings~

What a GORGEOUS painting. And all these babies! You are all in a conspiracy to make me have a third aren’t you?!
God’s blessing for each of these beautiful new lives.
