God of Wonders

I can't help but be awed by the miracle of life.

Today I received news that Young Married Couple had had their baby boy. Flashing in my inbox was the following new mail:

Young Married Couple had a beautiful baby boy last night.

His name is Baby Hank.
He weighs 3lbs 12oz – 17.5 inches long

Both Hank and Mommy are doing well.

Mommy went into labor last night and Baby Hank was born around 4AM this morning. Unfortunately, they needed to deliver Hank via a C-section operation. Praise God for His protective hand taking care of them both last night.

Hank is breathing on his own and Mommy’s platelet count is up this morning (50,000 yesterday ->75,000 today) without any other intervention last night to raise that count.

Thank you for the prayers that have been offered on behalf of this sweet family. Please keep them in your prayers today during this important time of development for Hank and healing for Mommy.

Just 3 weeks ago, we'd heard the news about her body's struggle with platelets/white blood cells. Now, baby Hank is here, 7 weeks premature - miraculously hale and breathing on his own, and Mommy is not bleeding to death, as doctors had previously predicted when talking of delivery prior to a platelet count of 100,000.

Our God is an awesome God...
