Baby Emma's arrival... 16 Dec 2004

I have a new niece ! Baby Emma arrived on 16 Dec 2004.

I visited her and her parents (my cousin and cousin-in-law) at their house about 8 days later on Christmas Eve. Baby Emma was lying sleeping in her baby cot when i arrived. So peaceful, so pretty and smell so nice...i looked at her... i look at her little hand, her fingers and small little foot and toes... and i nearly cried.

Whenever i see a small little baby, i always feel very emotional coz i am very amazed at how God can create a small little baby as such, so delicately, with the cute little eyes, nose, mouth, cheeks, hands, legs... etc etc... and HE did all that while the baby is still in the mother's womb ! It's just so awesome and totally intriguing.

As i sat there next to the baby cot watching intently on baby Emma as she sleeps on peacefully, i'm reminded of what God says in the bible, "He who watches over us will not slumber".. and that God knows exactly the number of hair on our head... that Jesus said He will never leave us nor forsake us...

Then my cousin (daddy) came over and he too sat in the chair just next to the baby cot and looked at his baby... he told me that everytime after work, no matter how tired, he will sit down there in the chair, next to the baby cot, and just look at his baby as she sleeps on. If my cousin, who is a mere man does that, how much more does God, the creator of the heaven and the earth does that ? I'm sure He watches over each and everyone of us like that too and as He is not human but God, He is NEVER tired !! He watches us from day one when we were born, lying on the baby cot till we are as big as now... and though we are big now, when we think we know it all, God's eyes never leaves us.. we are FOREVER the apple of His eyes, precious in His sight !

I thank God for reminding me of His wonderful love for me. This is indeed the best Christmas present ! Praise Jesus !
