This week, baby is the size of an olive. =)
What’s amazing to me is that he/she already has everything that makes up a human body. Measuring at just about an inch, the baby already has fully formed eyes, ear lobes, internal organs, fingers and toes – everything! It tells me that God is a God of details. I can’t imagine trying to make a functioning sculpture that small.
What amazes me more is that the olive-sized little being is merely what we can observe. God alone is aware of this new person’s personality, likes, dislikes, and character – what we cannot see about him or her. That is the stuff that we will spend the rest of our lives trying to discover!
I have been pondering the mystery of God lately. This is one of those instances that brings me into that realm of mystery.
