Wonderfully Made

It was over 70 degrees yesterday. This is winter? I love NC! I spent most of the day supervising my DI team, so missed out on much fun with the gorgeous day. But there was a very wonderful drama swirling on Facebook that I watched all day. Every few minutes, a Facebook friend posted pictures of a newborn baby, all dressed in her pink adorable finery, with a little pink headband on her full head of dark hair. What made it particularly compelling was this was a baby that was scheduled to be aborted in May. My Facebook friend, a sidewalk pro-life counselor, talked the mother into choosing life. And one of the most touching photos was of the new mama, gazing rapturously into the eyes of her beautiful new daughter. I could not get enough of looking at that picture, the joy and love in the eyes of the mother, the adoring gaze of the newborn as she looked deeply into her mother's eyes. The choices we make matter so much, so much more than we sometimes understand.

Psalm 22:30-31 (NIV)
Posterity will serve him; future generations will be told about the Lord. [31] They will proclaim his righteousness, declaring to a people yet unborn: He has done it!

Psalm 139:14-16 (NIV)
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. [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.
