Since moving to Jordan I am constantly (honestly just about daily) asked about when I am having a baby. Children are considered a huge blessing. It's exciting for me to see some of my friends getting pregnant and having babies now.
I first sat down and chatted with Hanady over a cup of coffee and a chocolate chip cookie. She told me her beautiful story of how she met her husband, the excitement of having a new baby, and the many work hours she puts in while pregnant. It was easy to be struck by her sweetness, kindness, and sincerity. I was honored to throw a little celebration for her. Can't wait to meet her beautiful baby girl in a couple of months!
Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him. Psalm 127:3
