"Every Baby is Born on His Birthday!"
something to ponder

A number of years ago, a little boy whose mommy had just had a baby came up to me and declared, "Miss Kristin, did you know that every baby is born on his birthday!?!" That was the first time I had ever put any thought to it, but YES, it is TRUE! Every baby is born on his or her birthday! How
profound! In this day and age when people think they can handle things better than God, I think it is important to remember that our loving Creator God who knit each of us together in our mother's womb, who has numbered every hair on our heads, who knew each day that we would live before we had lived even one, and who sees the end from the beginning, knows the very best date for our babies to be born! We can trust Him!!!

Love and Blessings,
Kristin
