Day 1 – I’m Here!
At the moment the father’s sperm and mother’s egg unite, a new and unrepeatable human being comes into existence, complete with her own unique set of DNA. Although she is only one cell, everything about this little person is already present: eye color, blood type, the height she will grow to be, hair color – everything! She will play a role in her family and her community – a role only she can play. Nothing is added after conception to make her a complete human being. She already exists; all she needs is nourishment, a safe, warm environment, and most of all – love. Her parents don’t even know she exists yet. Pray for them to safely bring their baby to birth so she can fulfill the mission God has for her.
Did you know there is a flash of light when a baby is conceived? Some people think it’s a chemical reaction; others think it’s God inserting the child’s soul. (“…through him was life, and this life was the light of the human race” – John 1:4) What do you think?
