The little kicking baby is now at 21 weeks (same age as that VERY tiny one who survived in Miami who was in all the newspapers this week). Apparently it can now hear what I'm saying so I am taking the opportunity in Lent to read it Psalm 139 every morning. According to the books I have it is good to keep reading it the same thing so that it finds it familiar when it (finally) comes out.
Anyhow, even if it does nothing for the baby, it's certainly doing plenty for me.
"For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be. "
I find that all pretty incredible actually. God knows all about our little baby before we even see it, and has all sorts of exciting plans for her or him. Amazing.
