when i woke up a little later, i wondered if the phone call had been dreamed or was real? i decided to call the only person i knew who was expecting a baby boy. the voice on the other end of the phone was tired sounding, but excited none-the-less. i smiled at the excitement in their voice, and i instantly remembered the tired excited voice i had when my baby was born. they began to tell me the little boy's stats. i smiled again, remembering my little girl weighing in at 8 lbs. and 10 oz. i congratulated the parent on the other end of the phone, i told them i loved them, and i couldn't wait to meet this little boy, and we hung up.
then i began to think about the little boy. who would he look like? who would he act like? what would his grandparents think about him? would he be tall? what color eyes would he have? would he like school? would he be a writer? how about sports? would he play baseball, football, soccer?
i prayed the same prayer i prayed after my two children were born, i prayed for the special person that would one day fall in love with this little boy, when he became a man. the person the little boy that was born today would end up marrying. i prayed that the little girl who is being raised at this very moment perhaps, was completely loved and well taken care of, by a loving, God worshiping family. i pray that she is a Godly woman one day, who will love this special little boy who was born today, with all of her heart. and that she will take as good care of him later, as his family is taking care of him today.
yes, a little boy was born today, and i love him, even though we may never get to meet. i will pray for him everyday.
bee praying,
