Day 8 – Babies
Day 8
Babies
30 Days of Thanks
I know I’ve already said I’m thankful for children but I have to give special thanks for babies because guess who is going to be a nana again next June? Yep, I am!
The little munchkin pictured here is going to be a big sister. If you read the front and back of her shirt you can see how they announced the new baby.
I searched for some quotes that were about babies and found several that spoke about the joy of a new baby.
If one feels the need of something grand, something infinite,
something that makes one feel aware of God,
one need not go far to find it.
I think that I see something deeper,
more infinite, more eternal than the ocean
in the expression of the eyes of a little baby
when it wakes in the morning and coos or laughs
because it sees the sun shining on its cradle.
-Vincent van Gogh
Babies are a link between angels and man.

Making the decision to have a child is momentous.
It is to decide forever to have your heart
go walking around outside your body.
-Elizabeth Stone
A baby has a special way of adding joy in every single day.

A new baby is like the beginning of all things-
wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities.
-Eda J. Le Shan
Thank you Lord for the blessings of babies!
It has been 6 years since a newborn counted in our family. And infant are always a reason to give thanks and be joyful. They represent all that is good in humanity and the promises of God.
Infants also give me comfort and courage in facing the end of my life. If something so beautiful and so fragile comes from the arms of heaven then I can live with courage and hope in the knowledge that I return to that same place of love and promise when my body and soul weary of this life.
