Have you ever looked at the eyes of an infant and wondered what they might be thinking. That tiny body has gone through the trauma of childbirth. He was intricately formed in his mom’s body, knit perfectly together by the Creator of the universe. His brain has been ticking for some time now, so thoughts must be running through that developing mind. He might be wondering where he is, who he is, who are these new faces? As his eyes develop along with his other senses, he is able to feel who is holding him, feeding him, singing to him, changing his diapers and talking sweetly to him.
I recently became a great grandmother. I can’t begin to tell you how much I love this newborn. He has captured my heart. Both my husband and I realize the value of this precious child and pray that he will be surrounded by those who love him, support him, encourage and inspire him. Looking at those tiny fingers and toes, I am amazed by God’s handiwork. So many of the sounds he makes along with silly faces and smiles are caused by a little gas, hunger or discomfort. It may seem funny, but this is kind of what we look like as we approach our final days. We spend most of our days in the comfort of a chair or bed. We sometimes must wear diapers. We rely on others to take care of us. Our sight begins to fail. All those marvelous parts created so long ago, are breaking down now and we have come full circle. Now we wonder what is being said to us. We can’t control our balance or ability to move. We can no longer communicate as we once did. Things are devolving from infancy to old age., but a new life awaits. Until that day, we can make each day and every moment a new beginning.
“WHAT IS THE WORLD TO ME?“ by Kathy Boecher
Has life become just another commodity with little value?
Has humanity so quickly forgotten the price that was paid for it?
Have we come full circle in our quest for peace? History repeating itself?
Each day on this planet is as a thousand years to the One who made it.
He alone has the answers to the human condition and how to heal it.
Still, we try to figure things out for ourselves. We try, but fail.
We make the same mistakes over and over and it almost seems our lives are futile.
Instead, why not turn to Him in the first place?
But we think we know better. We abort babies, we use fists to solve problems, we pull the plug on life.
We are all guilty if we stand by and allow this to continue.
We are as one pulling the trigger and taking a life if we say nothing.
We must stop the madness that will eventually consume this great country of ours.
We could easily self-implode and our enemies are aware of that.
May God be with America in this time of our great distress and show mercy on us.

Time changes everything, or does it? Quite the thought-provoking question. We’re all born with the same amount of time available to us. Added to that is energy. It’s how we use the energy within the time that’s ticking away, that results in change. The person who sits at home watching soap operas, while praying for a job, probably won’t get the same result as one who prays and actively searches for a job.

One of the reasons our country is so close to dying is because we don’t care enough about children. The Democratic Party, the party that tells us how much they care for the children, has given caring for the children lip service, but their big issue now is abortion.
Both men and women vote more conservatively if they marry and stick together, and they have children. And why do they stick together? Well, the fact they know their children need them both has something to do with it.
