All praises to the One who made it all
and finds it beautiful
Fearfully and
wonderfully and
beautifully made
Psalm 139:14 says "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." The first part of this verse is really popular. I like the second half. "Your works are wonderful, I know that full well."
I love talking about Layla and it makes me happy anytime I can brag about how beautiful I think she was (I first typed 'is', but I realize she's not here). In fact, Bryan and I talked about her a lot on her 2 month milestone. It was nice to think about her together & share our memories. I had a chance to do that with a friend this week, too.
When I think of Layla and remember how she looked, I think she was beautiful. Not many people have seen her whole body. Others may have thought it looked 'funny'. It reminds me that God finds all things beautiful. Everything is created in His image. He thought Layla was perfect, when the doctors see her as a baby with a physical anomaly.
She was His work. I praise Him, His works are wonderful, I know that full well.

Nancy, I see children everyday that the world does not view as normal or beautiful (driving bus for Syble Hopp school). I know without a doubt how very beautiful each one of these children are - no matter what their abilities may be or no matter what their bodies may look like. They are all beautiful in God's eyes and of the eyes of those who know and love each one of them. I was blessed to be a part of Layla's short journey here (and continue to be through you) and am blessed to know soooo many "special" children in my life. God is amazing. If we all could only see through His eyes, what beauty we could all see :)
