A Baby Changes Everything
A Baby Changes Everything is a song released at Christmastime in 2008 by country music singer Faith Hill. It’s catchy little tune is the tale of a pregnant teenage girl faced with the uncertainty of her future and coming to terms with the fact that her life is about to change.
In the bridge of the song, it’s revealed that the teenaged girl and baby in question are in fact the Virgin Mary and the baby Jesus. And change this incarnate one did bring into the world!
Unsure of the identity or character of the God of the universe? Just check out his Son. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Through his becoming flesh, we now are able to tangibly feel and touch and see the love of a Father for his children.
On July 30th, God delivered into our world the blessing of a new baby granddaughter, Jimmie Kathleen Mustain. Our son Chad, and daughter-in-law Heather, are grateful and first time parents. As they are learning daily, a baby changes everything. At present her needs outweigh their own. She is dependent on their love and care, minute by minute.
The birth of a child provides us many insights into life and God. He is a loving parent. He hopes and dreams and believes in our future potential. We as His children are dependent on his love and care, minute by minute.
Jimmie Kathleen you are a gift from God! We pray and dream and believe in the life that God has given you. Go and change the world!
“Then he [Jesus] placed a little child among them; and taking the child in his arms he said to them, ‘Anyone who welcomes a little child like this in my name is welcoming me, and anyone who welcomes me is welcoming my Father who sent me!’” Mark 9:36-37
