Alysia, one of my best friends of 11 years just gave birth today to a healthy baby girl. Welcome to the world Amira Charles!
The miracle of birth to me is just one of the many indications that there is a Creator. The time, developmental stages, the end result of two human beings copulating is no accident.
To some the idea of "God" is hard to rationalize. To me, its harder to rationalize that the sweet flavor, succulent juice, and savory aroma of a strawberry (let alone the birth of a child) is the result of a "big bang."
Life events such as these really put things into perspective no matter how much disarray surrounds you. It amplifies the joys of life and brings irrelevance to the negatives.
Births as with deaths are staunch reminders to me that my days are numbered and to make everyone of them count.
So welcome to the world baby girl, and thank you for putting life in perspective for me. I loved you before you took your first breath of air...
