Home Birth & Life Decisions!

My grandson was born at home. My middle son (his uncle) was, too. It was the easiest and best birth of the three I had. I wanted my first one at home, but got talked out of it. With my last one, we could not afford it and I was much older. My hospital experience with the first was not good...for him or me. With the last one it was pretty good. Things had really changed over the course of 19 years!

One thing I regret with both my first and last was them breaking my water. That threw me into hard labor...fast. My labor with my middle son was barely noticeable. Well, that is a bit of an understatement, but it was NOTHING like the other two. In fact, the first stage of labor I barely felt at all. The second stage was not very long at all before he came out. It was difficult getting him out, but the whole thing overall was very manageable, unlike the other two.

If I had remembered the first one, I would not have opted for breaking water with the last one. The thing is, my doctor had to go out of town for one day. I was afraid that would be the day I went into labor and I did NOT want some doctor I had no relationship with to attend the birth of my son. So, I opted to go in and have labor induced. I had a choice between Friday and Monday. I opted for Friday. I have wondered, if I had opted for Monday instead, if I might have gone into labor naturally. Oh, well. No way to tell now.

There can be many decisions we make in life that we later question. Would it have made a difference? I don't know. It really does not matter now. He is here and he is healthy!

There is one decision, though, that I have made that I do not wonder about. That is the decision to serve Yahweh God. Although I have struggled with doubts now and then, it has always been shortlived. I have never regretted choosing to love and serve Him...choosing to be adopted into His family. He has proven Himself faithful to me over and over, even when I could not see it at the time. He has brought me through some really tough things in life...things I just could not have survived without His help.

Yep, I think home birth, if you can do it, is great. I also think spiritual birth into Yahweh's family is great. With natural birth, we cannot always plan the day or time or place; but with spiritual birth, it can be whenever and wherever you choose, so long as it is before death.

From our little RV on the Hillside to you wherever you are...I hope that you are a part of Yahweh's family. If you are not, I hope that you will give it serious consideration. The blessings that come in that relationship are incredible. His love is incomparable.

The flip side of that love is His judgment. Because of His great love for us He cannot allow the wrong things we do to go unpunished...and all of us have done wrong things. That is why He sent His Son, Yeshua, to take that punishment for those who come into His family. If you accept Yahweh and His Son, you will be a part of His family forever...into eternity.

Think about it...seriously...won't you? He loves you so much and wants you in His family. It does not matter who you are or what you have done. If you want to accept Him as your Creator and the Lord of your life, He is ready with open arms for you.
