A little gel and an ultrasound machine opened a window for Micah, Adrienne, and I as we  beheld a miracle in process.  First, we saw the four chambered heart beating steadily, the two hemispheres of the brain, the spine, the bones, kidneys, the precious little feet, the- wait!  was that a wave from the delicately formed hand? After 10 minutes of breathtaking visage, we heard the words, “You’re going to have a little girl.”   Through tears I saw Adrienne’s face shining with joy as Micah laid his head down on their clasped hands with relief and reverence!  Her little, perfect profile was breathtaking and I praised the Giver of Life for the fearfully and wonderfully made granddaughter that was being knit together even as we watched.

The texting and phone calls ignited excitement like  wildfire to both sides of our families!  As Micah called Bethany to tell her “It’s a girl Bethie!” I could hear Bethany literally screaming and whooping on the other end of the phone from across the room,

“It’s a girl!  It’s a girl! Oh Micah, I so excited, it’s a girl!” Beth finally got off the phone.

5 seconds later my phone rang in that same Dr.’s office! It was Bethany calling me with the news I already knew!  “MOM! MOM!  Micah and Adi are having a baby girl for ME!!  It’s a girl Mom! It’s a girl!”

Sometimes in life we’re privileged to glimpse eternity. 

  Open Windows transport our gaze beyond our limits

to the riches of His glories.

In Malachi 3:10, God tells us there are windows of heaven that open and pour out blessings we can’t begin to contain or capture.  Blessings like rain, pouring down on us, drenching us with His goodness, flooding us with His grace and mercy.  It’s interesting that it’s the only scripture that says you can “test” or “prove” God.

It says, “Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there is enough provision in my temple. And you can test me in this, says the Lord of Hosts.  See if I will not open you the Windows of Heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive or contain.”

I believe God uses those Windows of Heaven quite frequently! 

I also think I am self – absorbed and earth – absorbed! This makes it difficult to see His open windows of blessing.  But I’m learning to live by the window and look up and out more often, delighting in the miracles and treasures He sends my way!

  I will GIVE you hidden treasures, stored in secret places~ this will be a sign to you that I am the Lord Your God who has called you by your name!  Isaiah 45:3
