The Greatest Gift

As i lay down on the couch, i really did not know what to expect.
I closed my eyes and hoped for the best.
"Let it beat God..let it beat", i prayed
Then he started, the screen far from my view.
Can i see i asked?
"Sure" he said, "when i'm done looking for it"
I held my breath and waited then he said it...
"It's a boy!"
I turned my head to see the screen and there it was.
The smile came naturally, as did the sigh that came out almost loudly
I couldn't have asked for a greater gift this Christmas and birthday.
The joy of having a child grow inside me and depend on me for its life
Ten fingers...all intact, a four-chambered heart, valves beating in tandem
The the movements...it almost seemed like a dance.
I pinched myself and took a deep breath.
It's all real. It's happening to me!
My miracle the greatest gift i could ask for.
A year ago on Christmas day, i lost a precious little seed...
a year on, i have more than a seed and the kick i just felt is more than enough proof.
Thank you Jesus for this beautiful gift!!!
Forever grateful!
