Auguste's...I think this story is multifaceted. Auguste's birth gave hope to the hopeless, strengthened or rekindled the faith of many, demonstrated the power of prayer, reminded us of our duty as parents to fight for our children, both in the womb and out, to see the generous hearts of others, the list could go on for pages. God will show you what to do with the miraculous story, after all, He wrote it, and He has a plan for it!

Apparently I was not only attached exxxtreeeemely low but was also placenta previa. They told her to go home to bed and wait for the miscarriage. Having 3 other kids at home ages 3-7 she said she knew that bed rest was NOT going to happen. So she modified her routine (no lifting etc) and prayed the rest of the 9 months out. 4 days to her due date her water broke, and I was born my c-section which almost took her life. <br />My parents told me all the time - and often that I was meant to be here, for God had a plan for me as he had carried me through the pregnancy and saved my Mom. (of course I didn't know the surgery part until I was MUCH older since they didn't want me to think I'd almost killed my Mom!) So - as the child who grew up knowing she was a "miracle baby" I say tell it often and let him know how amazing his arrival is and clearly God has great plans for him!Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12651263361626842089noreply@blogger.com
