What this life is about?

James 1:27
Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

Welcome to Love

Hi everyone, I am writing this to tell everyone that my niece, Jessica is in labor with a baby girl right now. It is exciting times and has really made me think about the miracle that we call life. Life is so fragile as we have seen in the past couple of months. It can be taken so quickly by any number of things. Earthquakes, floods, malice of other human beings, things we can’t even imagine. The Bible says that it is God who gives and takes away life. “Sovereignty is what I love to ascribe to God.” , is a quote from Jonathan Edwards after he finished wrestling with the hand of God in his life. All this to say, I am in awe of this thing that we call life. “Thing” is not a good word for it I guess. Ha ha!

Psalm 139 is what I am mostly thinking about today. That God knows what He has done in Jess’ womb. Stella has been fearfully and wonderfully made in Jess’ womb. When she comes into the world, she will be welcomed to love of her family. But, she was loved so much before that by God…
