Last Saturday my wife helped prepare, and I attended a baby shower for one of our church members. This was my first ever baby shower and I had only a faint clue of what went on at such events. I must say the turn out was great and a handful of men did attend, we even got involved in a few games.
The thing that is most impressive was how the women of our church and the young ladies friends rallied around her, supported her and made this an extremely joyous event for her. The fact that the recipient enjoyed herself caused the joy to radiate to us all. There was no condemnation, every word that was spoken was on a positive and inspiring note. The birth of a child is a joyous and welcome occassion and I was rendered totally breathless how we as people can come together and support one another. I pray that as my days continue, I witness an increase of such love and support from and then towards all of Gods people.
