Baby Collages

As we were seated in the Doctor's office for the initial consult, collages of baby pictures decorated the walls. These little blessings were given a chance to live because their fathers had a change of heart and had their vasectomies reversed in the procedure room down the hall. A smile brightens Dr. Stanton's face as we admire the chubby cheeks of 100s of babies welcomed into repentant Christian homes by the grace of God. Dr. Stanton performs these reversals as a ministry. The only fee collected is for the facilities. He is the father of 8 boys himself.

During the years we were avoiding conception via vasectomy (I call these the winter years), I have often wondered if we allowed God to give us more children, who would they be, what would they look like and what would we name them. Many who practice birth control will admit they do this. There is always this little place in your mind where you dream of what might be.

I was missing blessings who would never exist because of my choices. Once upon a time I rejected the children of whom I dreamed--NO MORE!!

Seeing those collages confirmed what we were doing was right. We were correcting our wrong by re-setting our bodies to receive life God had designed us to produce.
