An unexpected path, an invaluable perspective
When our son was born, we prayed for a healthy baby with 10 fingers and 10 toes. Our prayers were answered. Three years later, those same prayers were said for baby number two. And, once again, our prayers were answered. Baby number two was also born with 10 fingers and 10 toes.
