Do You Want Her?
Just a few days before our second anniversary, Barbara went into labor with our first child. After 24 hours of watching the agony, I nearly passed out. I had to take a short walk, and when I returned, I was just in time to put on my scrubs. When the doctor delivered our daughter, it was a magnificent moment. We were both lost in the wonder and miracle of birth.
At that point, the doctor could have said, "Well, do you want her?" I could have pulled Barbara aside and said, "What do you think? Her head is a little pointed." Of course we didn't do that! Through tears, we received our daughter as God's gift.
One final thought. If you have been given the gift of a child, why don't you thank God for your son or your daughter tonight. Pull him or pull her aside, and give 'em a big hug, and him or her how thankful you are for God's gift.
I'm Dennis Rainey, and that's Real Family Life.
