It's been heart warming and inspiring watching the documentary of the first Duggar Grandbaby. It's about an hour long and broken into 6, 10-minute sections on YouTube. It's a must see. It touches me: one, because we love the Duggar family and Lord has ministered to us by their example. Two, because my wife and I are fairly new first-time grandparents whose child and spouse continued following the Lord (and who also did a home birth as was the case with this first Duggar grandchild). Three, because sweet Mary Ann was a home birth baby for us. First one after 6 children in either a midwifery clinic or hospital.
In the video, you learn how the two young people met and fell in love. You learn about their marriage and the starting of their new life as one person together in the Lord. You next discover the pregnancy along with them and get to attend the baby shower. In good time, they go into labor and that wonderful first grandchild is born! A brief follow up a few days later serves as a nice closing touch. I re-lived it all again two-fold just watching. What a mighty God we serve! He Himself is our heritage and our legacy. I'm so thankful to serve Jesus Christ.
Thank you also Rachel and Thomas for your love for the Lord and your example in your relationship, and now as parents. Thank you for little William (and we thank God even more, of course! with you all).
The picture above is of the now two grandbabies and it makes me wonder when we might be expecting our next grandbaby . . .
I don't want to keep the joy of the video all to myself. Here's the link so you can watch it too:
