As I nursed sweet baby George in the wee hours this morning, I found myself stroking his velvet-soft skin and pondering what lies ahead in his future. What will he be? What will he do? How will the world be made better because he’s in it?<\/center>

As I contemplated all these things, my mind drifted to another mother, one cradling a newborn baby nearly two thousand years ago.\u00a0<\/center>

Do you think as Mary held her son, as she meticulously counted his toes and fingers (as all mothers do), that she pondered the places those little feet would someday trod and the miracles those hands would perform? Could she possibly have had any concept as she gazed down at his sweet face the impact that wee creature would have on the future of all mankind?<\/center>
