Foster James Hooton breathed his first today at 9:46 pm. Weighing 8lb, 8ozs and measuring 21½ inches, he is the latest little thing to turn my world upside down.
I sit looking into his sweet little face struggling to figure out the world outside his protective womb, and I wonder. What will this face become, what future awaits him. Will he be handsome? Winsome? Kind? Oh God, the joy that rushes in on me, along with tears in my eyes.
My head nods, “ah yes—the deed in the pot.” My mind continues to mull the text for tomorrow’s service, perhaps all the more since I never made it to the church for coffee and prayer.
Though we go through times of pain, though we travail, and labor, still our Sovereign Lord holds out a future. Thank you.
