New Years Eve

December 31

Four grandparents wait in the hospital for the birth of a granddaughter. I’m sure this baby, weeks overdue, will be here before years end for I had prayed for that and heard a clear ‘yes.’

Midnight—no baby! The message had been so clear. Did I misunderstand?

At 12:15 the new father reports baby is here. I ask when was she born? “ He says apologetically, “I’ve been busy cleaning her up, it was 11:45."

“Therefore know that the Lord your God, He is the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments.”
(Deuteronomy 7:9)
