“For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be.” (Psalm 139:13-16 NIV)
A birth brings new possibilities into the world. In this sense, birth is the polar opposite of death, which is the end of possibilities [on this side of heaven]. A birth opens up not only one possibility but a multitude of them… With birth, a new life is launched into the world -- a life filled with possibilities. A newborn baby is filled with potential that will later be realized. As a person grows, possibilities become realities. Birth is the beginning of possibility.
-- Robert Martin Walker in “Prepare Him Room”
