The cute cake!
On Saturday, I helped my close friend host a baby shower for her first little bundle of joy and this little guy is one of the fortunate. From the moment the parents found out they were expecting they were head-over-heels in love with the tiny creature growing slowly inside. I always marvel at how wise God is... Every pregnant mother (and father) have to wait over nine months to receive their babe. During this time they prepare for the great change that is happening and will forever continue once the baby arrives. 
Creative grandma made the fruit baby.
Waiting... I don't think many people enjoy the waiting process. Especially, American society, we want it and we want it now! But parents have no choice they must wait before their baby is strong enough to enter the world. Throughout the pregnancy they learn about the birth process, attend classes, decide who will be present at the birth, pack the overnight bag, prepare the nursery, etc. The whole waiting process is a time full of hope.
Who's that baby (SMILE)
I think most of our prayers are like small pregnancies- we must wait for God to answer them; but, unlike pregnancies prayers that require waiting can be very hopeless times. Unless we look at our unanswered prayers as moments of preparation. We might not be able to change the process, but we sure can change our thoughts about the wait and in doing so save our peace of mind.
