Women were made to be Strong and Immovable

This angel baby is literally seconds old in this photo.  I experienced my first home birth as my sister and her husband welcomed little Micah into the world.  Wow ~ Women were made to be strong and immovable.  If I didn't truly understand it after the births of my own children, I see it clearly now.  As my sister labored, I had visions of the generations of women who have come before us.  Women who sacrificed everything to bring precious children into this world.  Pioneer women who gave birth and buried children along the trail side.  And women today, who continue to choose to bring children into this world.  
As stated in The Family: A Proclamation to the World, "Children are an heritage of the Lord" (Psalms 127:3).  
Welcome, little Micah!
