Hannah Elizabeth was born yesterday at 1 p.m. I have "a number" of grand children and step-grand children. But this is my first of "being there." Well, not quite there---but in the same city, following by text messages and holding her within 2 hours. She is beautiful---really!
One of the things that made the day so very special was watching my husband. When we entered the room and Hannah was cradled in her mother's arms, his first gesture was to take the mother's hand and pray. The room became quiet. He thanked God for their health, for this beautiful baby--- then cradled Hannah himself. He quietly told her of her Old Testament name--Hannah, a woman of prayer.
The visit became a blessing visit.
A gift to be there.
Do you have unexpected blessings? Be mindful.
Blessings-Penny
