Praise the Lord, on Thursday night at 9:47, my wife gave birth to a healthy boy. He weighed in at 8 lbs, 10.6 oz, and measured 21 inches--our biggest child yet! I thank God for giving my wife a complication-free delivery, even with a breech presentation. Our heavenly Father is so kind and has blessed us in so many ways, it is beyond my comprehension how He shows us such mercies and grace, but a little part of the "why" I do know: "God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you" (Ephesians 4:32). As David showed kindness to Mephibosheth for Jonathan's sake (2 Samuel 9), so God the Father has shown us poor, unworthy sinners grace for Jesus' sake. Apart from Christ, we have no claim to God's kindness; in Christ, we humbly thank Him for all the kindness He shows us and marvel.
Thank You, Lord, for adding another healthy little child to our family. May You receive glory and thanksgiving through his life!
