A good friend gave birth to her first baby yesterday and I'm so happy for her!! I got to hold the beautiful girl only hours after she was born and it was as if the gloomy cloud that has been following me this week suddenly lifted. Seriously, it's been a crazy week, but holding this little girl completely melted my cold and stubborn heart.
Thank God for babies. Despite all of our brokenness as humans, each new child gives us an opportunity to turn it all around. It's as if, with each infant He brings into this world, God is winking at us and saying, "all is not lost. There is still hope."
I was just so inspired that I had to express it in some way...check out this new poem - hot off the presses :)
Baby Sasha Saves the World
BY Susan Baba
Just when you think he has tired of us
our ceaseless complaining
our needless lies
our insatiable appetite for all that shines
the anger we throw around so carelessly
the half-baked love we offer up with similar ease
just when you think he has tired of it all
wrung his hands of all our failures
and left us to bring about our own demise
he opens a woman's womb again
thrusts a crying and desperate newborn
into the world's waiting hands
reminds us that all is not quite lost yet
there is still hope.
