Baby Pictures

Picture
I have a picture of my granddaughter, Madison and I think she is absolutely beautiful. You and I may not share the same perspective. My granddaughter is due to make entrance the end of September. The black and white ultra-sound picture may look unattractive in your eyes. The eyes of my son, daughter-in-law, my wife and I see the beauty of potential in this baby girl. Her parents have a name picked out already - Madison.

God sees even more beauty than we see in the life of each individual. Before you or I were born, God had plans for us and He thought about us often.

Psalms 139:15-18
15 My frame was not hidden from you
    when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
16     your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
    were written in your book
    before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
    How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,
    they would outnumber the grains of sand.
When I awake, I am still with you.

This Saturday, I am joining many others in our community to support our local Pregnancy Resource Center which has helped thousands of individuals and couples over the past 26 years. The Walk for Life is a fundraiser which provides free services to women and men facing an unplanned pregnancy. A recent service is a free obstetrical ultra-sound. When people see their baby’s arms, hands and fingers, any thoughts of ending the pregnancy changes because they see beauty of their baby.

Let the next baby you see remind you that God knew you before you were formed and all His plans for you are good. For more information about the Cambridge Pregnancy Resource Center go to www.cambridgeprc.com.
