Black Baby, White Mama


"He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young."
- Isaiah 40:11

Sarah let me 'copy' her photo... and what she had to say.
..


"..... God comforted me with the gift of this image. Even in nature, he reminded me, he gives black babies to white mamas. They are both sheep. They are exactly the same on the inside. It just so happens that the wool of one is a different color than the wool of the other. There is nothing weird or unnatural about it. They are a family, just the way that God intended. Lord, make us a family with the child that you have called us to love. Help us to see no difference but the color of our "wool." "

THANK YOU SARAH...

and now go to





Great new design...
