Oh Baby!

Yesterday we spent the afternoon with a houseful of ladies, showering gifts on a lovely young woman who's belly pronounced her condition. A baby is on its way into a great family!

Wow! A lot of items have changed since I was a young mom. New gadgets for a new generation. Video baby monitors. Portable mobiles. Electric breast pumps. Pampers diapers that are so thin, 88 of them fit in a small package.

Most, are still the same. Precious outfits with baseballs and cars embroidered on the front. Little socks with Winnie the Pooh. Towels and blankets. Stuffed animals and special teddy bears. A Baby book. Baby Powder.

I realized once again that another generation is on its way. I've moved from young mom to mom of grown children to a Fabulous Fifty with a promise of grandchildren someday. (No pressure, kids! ;) )

What a joy to know that God's blessings extend from generation to generation as the truth of Jesus is passed from heart to heart.
