I am sitting in the cool of the morning. My only company is God and His creations. There is a hawk flying around. He catches the stiff breeze and glides so smoothly! I know what he's doing--he's laughing and playing in the wind. This moment is his gift from God to enjoy. He isn't hunting; he's dancing and praising his Creator.
Two hummingbirds dart over to me, quickly stop and then off they go, playing tag and praising God.
The tall trees dance for Him, and the sound of their leaves rustling are nature's hallelujah! And I am compelled to join them, so I lift my arms in worship, and with tears of surrender and love, give thanks and sing, 'How Great Thou Art!'
Oh how He loves us! If you have eyes, see! If you have ears, hear! All creation knows the Lord!

Week 12, Day 4 - Your Face
Dear Child of Mine,
You look much more like you will six months from now. You have a chin and a nose and a facial profile. You can suck your thumb and get hiccups! I wonder who you look like, your father or me. I have to smile when I imagine everything God is doing with you, how He is making you whole, and more like Him and me every day. It amazes me when I acknowledge how little you are, too small to even feel yet, and still so much like me! I love you. I praise God for His mighty miracle within me. He is a loving and caring Father.
Dear Father God,
You have formed my baby's face! I see how small she is, perhaps about the length of my ring finger, yet she is living, crying, hiccupping, moving around, and looks like she will when she is born! When my baby is born and I look in her face, I will see the face of God looking back at me because You are her Creator. I will try to remember always to see You in her. I love You so much, Father, and wonder, do I have Your eyes? In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
"As for me, I will see your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness." Psalm 17:15
