You have your fingers and toes. It seems that every parent wants to know the count when the baby is born. Your hair color and eye color are already determined by the combination of your parent’s genes. The color of your skin, the makeup of your organs, and all the other parts that produce the person you are at birth.
It is truly amazing how all these parts are “written down” in your DNA code from the moment of your conception. Each human baby is a marvel of the ability of parents to procreate our species.
As we grow we begin to learn (hopefully taught by our parents) the difference between right and wrong. We grow into the creature that has compassion and love for others. Becoming the man or woman who will continue to affect the lives of themselves and others for the better.
We can thereby understand better the scripture stating in Ecclesiastes 7:1 that” the day of one’s death is better than the day of birth.” Until you have lived all your days who knows what you are going to become or might accomplish? What type of person are you going to be? However, on the day of your death, people can look back over your life course and see: THIS is the person we have now lost. Look at all that was done during his/her life!
All these marvelous possibilities lie before us at our birth. Within us are all the abilities and characteristics to develop so that we can make a meaning contribution to the human society during the many days of our life. What we do with those possibilities and the choices we make during the days of our living will determining the person that others speak about at our death.
We are truly wonderfully made! Let each of us look to future days with the conviction that what we do with OUR life will be beneficial to, not only us, but to all we may come into contact with!
