When GOD creates in His image, it is beyond expression.
Yesterday, under the auspicious nomenclature of 5-10-10, My second born received from his first father his second born. - Beyond expression!
During the explosion of unbridled praise in heaven, Micah and Emily quietly and humbly accepted the heavenly charge of raising God's 6lb 11oz creation on earth, and submitting to His wise nurture and admonition, committed themselves to teaching her all that The King has revealed. I am assured she has been thoroughly inspected and certified to have all the requisite digits and appendages; in other words, perfect in every way. She is without an official name at this point, but God has a name for her that no one knows except Himself. For now, I am calling her what her mother intimated to me "Kalos koritsaki", beautiful baby girl.
In the eighteenth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus is teaching his disciples the meaning of greatness and uses as his lesson's object, a little child. We may not immediately think of a tiny baby as a symbolic representation of "greatness"; until you hold one that is, and an overwhelming sense of greatness fills every nook of your inner-being. I have not yet touched her greatness; my rough old hands have yet to cradle her pristine head. Even though I have not felt the excited beating of her perfect new little heart against my own chest, I sense her God-given life deep within me and our hearts are knit together with heavenly thread. I know we shall be great friends in play, co-comforters in pain, intimate dreamers of possibilities, and joint heirs in eternity. I can hardly wait.
In the same teaching on the meaning of greatness, Jesus reminds his disciples to not think lightly of these great ones just because they happen to be the smallest members of the human race. Their greatness is secured in the fact that for each there is an Angelic sponsor who stands in the presence of the Holy GOD Creator of heaven and earth by whom they have been personally commissioned. He speaks to his mighty angelic warriors by saying something like "You have a new job. Your responsibility is to stand before me, look into my face, and advocate for a newly formed creature in whom I have placed the reflection of My own image". Pretty great!.
We truly appreciate all who stood with Micah and Emily through their pregnancy and rejoice with you as they receive the reward of your laboring in prayer.
Welcome my sweet granddaughter. My Father has GREAT plans for you.
