Muckboots n' Aprons: Labor and Delivery

Ever Lived Someplace You Didn't Like?

"Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon. Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce. Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not seek decrease. But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on it's behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare."
Jeremiah 29: 4-7

Aren't we exiles on the earth? Maybe we are exiles in our daily life, the physical, mental, or spiritual place we are living presently...

Labor and Delivery

Since 6:30 this morning I have been with my daughter as she labors with her first baby and our first grand child.
Labor is called labor for a reason and we are still here, exhausted. Bless her heart she has been strong and brave.
God is good and children are a blessing, but in this fallen world we still have to fight tooth and nail for our babies right from the start.
Labor is called labor for a reason.
