Children - Our hope for Tomorrow!
Watched TV on amazing medical stories tonite... Having babies is really such a daunting experience... The show featured a little girl with mutated chromosomes resulting in smaller than dwarf features. She's like really tiny! her body alone is as as big as the palm of the doctor - and she's already 3 years old! And there was another boy who when given birth to, his intestines were outside of his body. Well, the boy had to undergo surgery immediately after birth, and surgeries after that and he's alive and healthy now, and normal.
reminds of me bio class in SAC, when ms wee told us the shocking facts that genes mutation is a very easy and only by chance occasion. Therefore meaning to say that chances of having a normal baby vs a not normal baby is just 50-50! That being, classifying babies as "normal" like the regular u and me, and "not normal" like being blind, deaf, dwarf, retarded. But the world's statistics shows that the normal population is sooo much more than the not normal population, and all this, we owe to God's Grace and Mercy.
reminds me also of friends i've known who cannot have kids due to various reasons, and friends who have kids that they don't want to have. reminds me of who unmarried pple who daydream abt the names of their future children, and pple who claim that they rather have dogs than children.
I think to be able to conceive is already such an amazing blessing, but to give birth to a normal child is lots and lots of abounding blessings! To my young mind (yes, i think im still quite young), having a children is too much to bear! It's daunting, man.... But one day, when im ready, i wanna bravely embrace it!
