New Life

Growing up on a farm, you come to appreciate new life at an early age. Whether it is a baby calf being born, tadpoles swimming along the banks of the pond, or baby birds in the spring. There is always something being born on a farm! We had a dairy farm when I was younger. The babies ranged from calves, to kittens, to baby rats, to moths! We had them all as pets at one time or another! I think that is why I appreciate life so much! That and the knowledge of my Creator God! Knowing that it takes an Almighty God to orchestrate all the things that take place for any form of new life to come about!
Today I saw God's grace at work and felt His hands around my family, holding us up and helping us along! Today Dad got his liver transplant! He was given a new life today! I am so thankful for the miracle that transpired today! But, I am also much more aware of the miracles that have taken place over the past year and a half to get him to this point! God opened windows, when it seemed the doors were shut! He is so good! I thank God for my Daddy's new life! I pray that it will be a long one, lived for HIM! May God bless you and your family!
