New Birth

Abijah - ə-BIE-jə (English) "my father is YAHWEH"

"Littlest Sis" became "Big Sis."

Flood waters receded, the interstate opened, and Marshal brought me to my sister's door in the hours before Abijah's birth. I thank the Loving Hand who enabled me to witness the final arduous labor and this mom and baby's strength to embrace and ravenously hold on to life. I thank the Loving Hand that hovers, shelters, protects, touches at the right place into our finite flesh, at the right time, directing our steps, even as we plan, according to His plan in His Omniscience and Omnipotence. What a peace to have faith in an All-Knowing, All-Powerful LORD. And what a beautiful baby we have at home suckling on a resting mom!
