The gift of life

Wow! This is an eight week gestation baby [found on google images]. I had the honour of attending a new mum's ultra sound this week. It was scheduled early to confirm the expected date, which turns out to be close to ANZAC day. I suggested the names of digger, or poppy, but I don't think that they will be chosen.lol

The youngster [kiddo] honoured us with a waving around of arms and legs, and it's tiny heart was clearly beating [rapidly as they do at this stage]. How wonderful is the miracle of new life!


on another note....... Today I have been trying to grasp an understanding of why a life ended so tragically on the weekend. A man in his late thirties, died as a result of a motorbike accident. His widow is expecting their first child. Amongst my grasping, my mind was filled with the lyrics of 'seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness', and in my heart I knew that it was o.k. to not understand, and that knowledge, gave me some peace.
