SPECIAL DELIVERY
“I will give... my flesh for the life of the world.” – John 6:51
Today
is my son’s birthday. Other mothers would agree with me that it’s an
amazing feeling to be able to deliver a gift from God and to know that
this new life can change the world, mine at the very least.
It’s
a cliché but it’s true: when you see your baby for the first time, the
feeling is indescribable. All I could think of was how I’d do everything
to make my son happy.
He
has taught me a lot, too. I’ve learned to be more patient, and
oftentimes he makes me see things from a different perspective.
Our
children are blessings indeed. That is why it saddens me to hear news
of abortion or abandoned newborns. For mothers-to-be, especially those
who did not plan for the life that they carry in their wombs, do not
think that your child will be a burden.
True,
they can test your patience most of the time, but the happiness and
love they give back is priceless. And who knows, your child may be an
eminent leader of our nation or a great icon who will inspire
generations to come. Mae Ignacio(maemi04@aim.com)

REFLECTION:
Are
you worried about having a baby? Lift up your worries to God and look
forward to special moments with your child. You will be all right.
Lord, thank You for giving us the gift of life. May we guide our children that they may become blessings to others.
St. Pedro de San Jose Betancur, pray for us.
