PRE-NATAL
Today's reading: Psalm 21-23

I remember carrying Isaiah the nine months prior to actually meeting him face to face.

I remember the awe I felt as I felt him move for the first time. I recall the changes, amazing changes, he and I were going through on a seemingly daily basis.

I remember the evening ritual Dale had of reading to my stomach and in turn to Isaiah. Some evenings it would be a Bible story. A few times it was the Adventures of Peter Rabbit. The book 'I Love You As Much' was read and re-read.

And I remember seeing Isaiah after being born, red, wrinkly and crying from all the stresses of the birth process and being thrust into a world of loud noises, doctors, nurses and bright lights.

I also remember Dale speaking to Isaiah for the first time. I'll never forget how, at less than five minutes old, Isaiah recognized his Daddy's voice, turned towards him and stopped crying.

"Future generations will also serve him. Our children will hear about the wonders of the Lord. His righteousness will be told to those yet unborn. They will hear about everything he has done." Psalm 22:30-31 NLT

Babies, toddlers, kids and adults need/want/desire to hear about their Creator. It's made into us to know Him, to be in His presence, to be made aware of all that amazes us about Him. Are we all doing our part to tell them? Are you speaking excitedly about your time with God? Are you going on and on about how good He is? Are you unable to remain quiet about His goodness, grace and love for you?
