My wife's is in her 2nd trimester of pregnancy. Today was a special day. I felt our baby moving in her womb for the first time! Feeling this very subtle, almost rhythmic movement felt weird, awesome, crazy, and scary all together in one. A very stupid thought, but there is something living in there!!!! WOWZERS!
Recently, our Men's Group started reading the Gospels. Thinking about our baby, I just realized how incredible it was that God began His journey on Earth in the womb of a woman. That Mary and Joseph may have also experienced the excitement of their miraculous son moving for the first time. I wonder if Mary and Joseph fully understood the Angel's message, Elizabeth's prophetic worship, or the gathering of shepherds and wise men at the birth of the Christ. Having a baby from a virgin mother should have been incredible enough!
Indeed, I am humbled. My God loved the world so much to step down from His glory, majesty, and power to come into the world by starting life in a human being's womb for 9 months.
May God grant our baby good health and grant our baby Christ-like parents to lead and shepherd his/her life to know Jesus Christ and his life, death, and resurrection.
