Waiting for a Precious Baby boy to Arrive...

Here I am ready to hope into bed ...but I have my bag packed and ready sitting at the foot of my bed...just in case I get the call tonight. My grandson is due any time now, well actually he is over due! They may call me to come to care for the other 3 children if they need to go to the hospital.So I am on call at anytime!
The first 9 months of this pregnancy the wait seemed like a piece of cake compared to the last about 3 weeks. All the signs were there, that he was coming and then nothing. It was another false alarm, We keep waiting and watching. The close it gets the slower time moves!
It is so much the same as the return of our Lord Jesus. We become disenchanted and desensitized...its so near, but like this baby it seems to never really happen. Yet believe me it will! It won't be long now and we will celebrate the new birth...and on the other hand it won't be long and we will celebrate Christs return The signs are here and the time is soon, and very soon.
