DAY 14 OF THANKFULNESS: NEW BABIES

Let me introduce you to one of the newest little fellers to enter the world. This is my friend Ang's precious, little boy who I asked y'all to pray for last week in an earlier post. Isn't he so sweet? And those lips! Oh my!

There is just something so amazing about new babies. Their innocent beauty and softness makes up for all the poopy diapers, late nights, and spit ups.

Every child born into the world is a new thought of God, an ever-fresh and radiant possibility. Kate Douglas Wiggin

So I send my congratulations to my friend and her family. God has sent them a priceless blessing and for this I am thankful.

I'm also thankful for two other precious, little ones soon to enter the world and ask you to pray for them as well. Two of the missionary families in Swaziland are expecting their first babies. Would you please pray for safety and good health for the mommies and their baby girls? Kriek is actually due just about any day now. Also pray for provision of finances, strength, and help as they begin a new chapter in their lives of serving God in Africa...as new parents.
