POUNDING TO GET OUT?

We have given Maddy, age 4, a rudimentary overview of the birds and the bees. Don’t look at us; she asked! But that was months ago. So it took me aback yesterday in the car, when she suddenly piped up:

‘’I have lots of babies in my tummy and they’re just seeds and they’re pounding to get out!!!’’

Hmmm. Maybe my New Year’s Resolution should be to get her an age-appropriate book about where babies come from. On the other hand, having given birth four times, I can attest that ‘’pounding to get out’’ is a rather apt description of childbirth.

The year 2005 is pounding to get out, too. Farewell, 2004. Hello, baby new year. May it be a blessed one for you and yours.

Prayer request: Our three older daughters will be out and about tonight, ringing in the new year. Father, place a special hedge of protection around them and help them make good judgments that are pleasing to You, as they ring in the new year, and always. (Proverbs 16:20)
