Birth and Rebirth

These beautiful babies were born March 10th to a friend of mine . I remember last summer when this friend had agonized over how she would ever care for two babies when she already had a one year old son . God gives us only what He knows we can handle . As time went on and her belly grew and her twins developed inside the comfort of her womb , she came to accept the miracle growing inside of her with a grace and strength beyond her years . The birth is over but the labour is just beginning . Life is about labour .. and love ... and how we all deal with it .
It seems to me that life is forever a birthing process for each and every one of us ... of ideas , of circumstances , of places , of music ....of everything and anything .
The seasons of life are much like the seasons of the year . Spring is our time of rebirth and renewal . We celebrate Easter and Spring . We celebrate our rebirth .
Happy First Easter Jaden and Jasmine .

There is nothing in the world like having boy-and-girl twins, although I may be somewhat biased in making that statement - but our almost-28-month-old babies teach us something new about life every single day.
They simply make our lives better.
Congratulations, Ma's friend! Welcome to the world, Jasmine and Jaden. I pray it will be kind to you.
