I just had someone I know celebrating because her unmarried daughter had a baby yesterday.
"Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who turn darkness to light and light to darkness, who replace bitter with sweet and sweet with bitter."
In this day and age - the fact that the baby saw the light of day, is a
very good day!
It means somebody opted for that baby to be born, instead of being aborted.
We don't know the full story behind that celebratory childbirth.
It could be that perhaps, indeed, there is something to celebrate about.
I can only speculate for
a special reason to be celebratory:
The Prodigal Son!
Maybe, the mother's prayer to God has been answered!
This is a turning point for the errant daughter, maybe she came to Christ.
Or, maybe she saw her error and had asked for forgiveness and repented.
How can we forget the adulteress that was about to be stoned?
Maybe, the fractured parent-daughter relationship is healed - and with God - they will support one another in raising the innocent child.
Lol. For all we know, maybe God has something extra-big planned for this child!
