Just Beginning

I have done a couple of blog entries with "in the womb" images of a child anticipated by a couple in the congregation. The waiting is over, and Isabelle, pictured above, is the finished product. Happily, mom and baby are healthy and whole. Dad is beaming.

Of course Isabelle is not finished, rather, just beginning. This is a sunny moment of hopes and expectations for her parents. My hope is that she can be nurtured within our Christian community. As she learns to walk and talk she can also develop a relationship with the God who created her and with those whose love of Christ can help her grow strong in faith.

Congratulation Chris and Shawna!
