" Shhhh.......shhhhh, I think I heard a baby crying......listen." And, sure enough it was.
"IT'S A GIRL !!" her dad shouted, as he flung open the double doors to the delivery room, and smiled from ear to ear. "She's here and they are cleaning her up and weighing her now. She is beautiful and she and her mother are doing great.
We were standing outside those doors; the five of us; Daughter# 1, her
husband and #1 son along with this new little baby girl's granddad and
me..........Grandparents to a wonderful little boy and now the arrival
of a precious little girl.
This wasn't Daughter# 2's first trip to the hospital. Being her first child, apparently she thought Braxton-Hicks pains were the beginning of labor. So, Daughter #1 and her family had driven all the way from Tulsa in order not to miss the event only to find out it was a false alarm. Thank goodness, their second trip over wasn't in vane because that baby girl was here.
Later we gathered in Daughter #2's hospital room and each one of us took turns holding that little bundle of joy. And, my heart was filled to overflowing again with the goodness of our God. Yes, God had blessed us once again with a precious life.
This past week, our Daughter #2, who had given birth to her first child 26 years before, became a first time grandmother. And, that beautiful granddaughter, the one whom our family was waiting outside the delivery room for the sound of a first cry, gave birth to an 8 lb 6oz beautiful baby boy that she and her husband named Oliver James Devlin.
Yes, time moves on.............So many happy moments in our lives and very few disappointments. God has showered us with so many blessings and we thank Him every day.
Have you taken time to thank God for the showers of blessings He has given you?
"I will make my people and their homes around my hill a blessing. And, there shall be showers, showers of blessings for I will not shut off the rains but send them in their season" Ezekiel 34:26 Living Bible (TLB)
