A Word Of Encouragement

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

Do you believe in “Love at First Sight”?  I do!  It is God’s nature to love his children; likewise, it is our nature to love our children and grandchildren when we are living as His children. Therefore, it was inevitable and natural for me to love my children and grandchildren “at first sight”.  Seeing you, touching you, and holding you for the first time established within me a firm desire to love, protect, and to do things for and with you that possibly only a dad or a granddad can.  

The miracle of birth is too often trivialized because we fail to see God’s hand in the process. We assume to understand without reverence and to explain divine events by our own limited intellect, missing out on the joy of including God in the celebration of the gift of life. How else can I explain the fact that prior to birth I could not visualize a world that included you yet moments after birth could not comprehend life without you? 

-David Johnson
