Blessings from Heaven

I am sure all of us have seen a photo like this at one time or another. Each person looking closer to see if they can tell exactly what it is. Usually being dumbfounded until the mother points out the tiny head, the little thumb in the mouth, slender body, and small feet that just moments before were all a blur. For those of us who have been there, we know how precious this fuzzy image really is. With this picture you finally get confirmation of the life that is developing inside your womb. My baby sister sent me this image yesterday on my cell after her ultrasound. It brought tears to my eyes. You see last year, April 16th 2008, she gave birth to her second child that was stillborn. No one could understand it, but we had to say goodbye to our beautiful angel, Baby Jocelynn Anne-Marie. I admired my sister and brother-n-law for their strength and how they held on to their faith at such a devastating time in their lives. So when my sister informed me that she was expecting again just a few short weeks ago, I was ecstatic at the news. I thank God for blessing my sister with another child, I pray that he will continue to watch over her and keep his hand on this miracle from Heaven.
