A New Life

I knelt in prayer the minute a text was delivered from my wife, reading my daughter was close to delivering her baby when she had dilated to where she was going to push. I knew that this would be the hard part.  Especially the strength for her to do so.  Little did I know that this baby would be over nine pounds. And the effort it took her, perhaps beyond her.  Then to see the beauty of them all together, a couple and their child healthy and happy through it all. Then I thought of a scripture my son quoted just the day before; 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made, 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. (New Testament, John 1)
