Hebrews 13: 2 And do
not forget to show entertain strangers, for by doing so some people have
entertained angels without knowing it.
Anyway, the car moved on and I could see a man driving and
someone else in the passenger seat. They didn’t quite drive at the speed limit
and I found myself wondering if the passenger inside this car had just had
surgery, a long stay in the hospital, or whatever since the driver was
obviously being very careful in his driving manners.
Then I saw it. A little upside down U-shaped handle in the
back seat. Hmmm, it’s been a long time since I’ve had an infant car seat in my
vehicle, but that certainly looked like the top of one. As we stopped at a
light, I got close enough to see there was younger man driving the car, and a
woman sitting in the back seat. They were talking animatedly about something or
someone. I knew for sure then, they were bringing their baby home from the
hospital, probably for the first time! There is something that new parents give
off, a kind of happy force field even outside a car and says, “Hey, we have
good news! A brand new baby in our car and boy are we nervous.” As they approached the next intersection, the
car slowed down and very carefully and made a right turn. I began to laugh as I
recognized the over cautiousness of a brand new dad. It brought tears to my eyes. What a beautiful
sight.
Silently I congratulated this new family, going home for the
first time all together. What joy they would experience in their small family
now and all the firsts that a brand new baby brings. I wished them happiness
and civility in their lives as they grow their family and teach their child
about the world. God bless them!
