What is real?
The things I touch and handle?
The things I can see?
All that is physical around me
that can be measured and counted?
What about the sweet smell of a newborn baby?
I don’t remember a feeling more real than that!
With sweat and pain
exhaustion and labor obliviated by her
delicious cry!
She is alive!
All is well!
What relief and joy!
Love happens in an instant…for real!
My husand and I smile and see what “we” have accomplished…
Yet we know it is really a miracle.
Only GOD could do this.
Bring two cells together from our passion and in nine months,
make a complex human being
who is able to breathe and live and love!
It truly is a miracle!
Our Creator GOD…
He is wise.
He is good!
Then real life begins…

you are so right denise:) btw, i didn’t mention, my “model” is my 2nd daughter with our first grandchild…a girl, when she was born almost 9 yrs. ago:) i wanted a photo with a mucky little baby, but none of them really worked and i’ve always loved this one.
So beautiful, Martha. The miracle of new life is awe-inspiring. And the instant-love, that ignites our hearts the moment we see and touch and hear the tiny babe, that kind of love can only be from above. And it is so very, very real.
Yes, this is real! So beautiful! Thank you!
thanks for stopping by jennifer:)
I love how you describe the process of God creating a miracle in you and the pleasure and realness of labor, creating a child with “passion” and yes He is so good. Blessing to you.
