Thank you, thank you, thank you, Denise! You 'rock' the gift of human life - each precious one, and she and He who bring Life and Love into focus.

Babies are magnets! I've noticed this when bringing a new baby to meet someone. Even when you're out in public, complete strangers will coo at your babies. I think God sent Jesus to us as a baby because He knew it would be easy to accept Him in that way: we would not be intimidated by Him (for instance, if He came as an adult male) but inexplicably drawn to Him. Who is not smitten by an adorable baby?

A new soul - housed in a precious wee babe and created by God - is always a blessing to this world!

I should be cleaning the kitchen. First, I need to stop smiling and tearing up after reading this.

Not my first post of yours, Denise, that I am printing to keep for always. Thank you for blessing us with your writing. I will think of mama Mary's generosity and eagerness to share her darling with the world next time anyone asks to hold my baby!

Just like you, "I never had babies around me." and I never got the baby sitting jobs either because other girls were considered before because they are older or came from large families

But it is so beautiful to thing about "holding Jesus"

thank you
