I watched a “19 Kids and Counting” episode yesterday that’s given me new perspective on life.  It was about the mom who was pregnant with her 20th child and she went to her 18-week ultrasound appointment to find out if it was a boy or girl but then the u/s tech told them the baby did not have a heartbeat.  They were devastated, of course, and it was so sad to watch.  But on the other hand, it was neat to see how the family banded together through their grief and supported one another.  (That’s kind of like this site, huh?)  Anyway, seeing how much emphasis and importance they gave that little baby’s life when it had not even made its entrance into this world made me think about the significance of my own… Because if that unborn child can mean so much to that family, how much does my own life mean to the people I have in my world that love me?  It helps to think about that when I’m feeling low, helpless, hopeless, worthless…
