I personally find it amazing how God has set things up, allowing us humans a peek into the Creator's joy, when a single cell from each partner in the marriage combine to bring forth a child that will contain traits and likeness of both mother and father. Kind of like when God said in Genesis "Let us create man in OUR image..." and so mankind has traits of the Trinity within it. And just like my son's son and soon his daughter will at times reflect their mother or their father, so it is with us. At times we reflect certain aspects of God's character and form. Sometimes when Roran (my grandson) turns his head this way or that, or smiles in a certain way, it's like looking at my own son (Rorans father) when he was a baby. It's easy to see that he is the son of my son. And I expect the same will be when my granddaughter makes her appearance in June of this year. At times I am sure she will reflect her mother... and at other times her father. And the joy this will bring that house is akin to the joy our heavenly Father must feel when He sees us reflecting this part or that part of His character. When we act charitably, and love unconditionally; when we give with no thought of benefit or return; when we respond in true righteous indignation when our Father's Name is sullied or misused - all this comes to mind as I look at the picture of my grandson today and anticipate seeing my granddaughter in the very near future.
I am so grateful to the God I bow my knee to that He gives us this gift of seeing our children and then our children's children come into this world. I am in awe and very much in love with this God Who creates... and then lets us share this joy.Joy is a good word. It's the perfect word for how I feel right now.
