Baby Lambs

Mary’s Monday Musings to Quilt Encouragement

Baby Lambs

            All baby animals evoke the aww factor in us. A baby lamb’s first wobbly attempt to stand makes one want to pick him up. A few days later, he can frolic and charm us with this enthusiastic cavorting. His eagerness to nurse, his bleating endears him to us. Our three generation group was delighted to see several newborns. Even the three year old was pleased to stand and watch these new babies for a long time.

 

I think those tender feelings for a new born animal are planted by God not only to protect the new one, but also to bring splashes of joy to our lives. How much more does He celebrate and care about the birth of a human baby. He is the author of the amazing miracle of maternal and paternal love. Whenever we enjoy the smile of a baby, the giggle of a little one, the movements of a young child, we are experiencing a delightful gift that comes from a loving God. I think He delights in watching each of His children enjoying the gift of life.
