I took my kids to our county fair last night. We looked at lots of animals, but we also spent some time at the police tent. They had a station to get your kids' fingerprints taken, with a packet to send home for you to add a strand of their hair and file it all away in case of a tragedy. It was a morbid thought, but no one was in line, the kids thought it looked like fun and they gave away free t-shirts for all of the kids who did it. So, we did-- all 40 fingerprints of my kids are now recorded (it was a little bit of a process). :) But, as I held Joey on my lap and the lady officer took Joey's prints, it crossed my mind how absolutely amazing fingerprints are-- or should I say the God who created them is! I asked the officer if she had ever thought of how incredible it was that EVERY SINGLE person who has EVER existed EVERYWHERE has different fingerprints! None will EVER match! The more I think of this, the more it completely boggles my mind!!! A sense of satisfaction came over me as I thought of this-- knowing that this is truly another sign that God loves EACH of us with an INDIVIDUAL love, and that He designed and created each of us! We are one of His great works who He spent time and care creating us. I don't think we'll come close to comprehending it this side of heaven.
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Matthew 10:29-31
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. Psalm 139:13
