I beheld God
In the strength of a mother
Who labored long and hard
And in the end released control.
In the love of two parents.
In the tenderness of a father
Who was a tower of strength
And exuded calmness in the face of concern.
In the joy of a sister.
In the beauty of a newborn baby, fearfully and wonderfully made.

What a beautiful tribute to mother, to father, to sibling, to infant – but – mostly – what a beautiful tribute to our Creator. Only He can make Lily and the lily bloom.

Something about a child's birth, miraculous every time…beautiful baby and family. Congratulations!
What a doll!! And I usually don't anticipate such beauty in a newborn. Bless you alllll.
Abby was offered the opportunity for an elective C-section because they anticipated possible problems. But she chose to try "on her own" first, and there were a lot of "little miracles" that occurred during that process. We are all so blessed. Thanks.
