Thank God

One week ago, my sister had an ultrasound.

She's pregnant. With twins.

They weren't sure if the sacs had something viable inside them.

But today she heard a heartbeat. And then another. Two babies.

She's completely stunned. For 10 days they didn't know if the pregnancy was strong; she had some spotting. But today, they're reeling from the news. They'll have 4 children under the age of 4.

This story reminds me of Hannah and gives me joy to know that God remembered. My sister lost her first two pregnancies at 8 weeks and 11 weeks. She grieved them and left them in God's Almighty hands. And today, her infertility is becoming a blip on the timeline of life.

God remembered.
