Bye, O Baby Bunting

Our sweet Gabbi carrying "baby bunting"

"Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from Him." (Psalm 127:3)

     As the timer ticks down for our little bunting-in-the-oven to be fully done, I thought about the old English nursery rhyme my grandmother sang to me while we rocked long days ago:

Bye, O baby bunting

Daddy's gone a-hunting,

Gone to get a rabbit skin

To wrap my baby bunting in.

      The term "bunting" is a term of endearment; and very soon, this Memaw will get yet another bundle of joy to lullaby and kiss and hold and snuggle and rock and rock and rock!

         James 1:17 says, "Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights." Have you thanked God for your precious "gifts" today?
