Does an expiration date count?



Today was supposed to be THE day. My daughter Haley is due today with our first grandchild. We've had it planned for months that she would deliver on or before her due date because both Haley and I are "on-time" kind of people. Usually even a bit early. Why wouldn't our dear Samantha Grace follow suit? There was even a full moon this past week-end. We reasoned that the gravitational pull would do its work and we'd all have our "special delivery" right on time. Haley exclaimed earlier today that she's reached her "expiration" date and she's had enough. Ohhh how that girl makes me laugh! I don't think that Samantha will grow moldy if she takes a few more days but I do think her mother may if she doesn't make an appearance pretty soon. Jordan, Haley's husband, is just as bad. He wants to "get this show on the road" because he just can't wait to be a Dad. Isn't it funny how God is never in a hurry? This is His little masterpiece that's being knit together in a secret place. All the wishing in the world isn't going to make Samantha appear any sooner than God deems His Timing. Well...Haley and I may be doing our beach walk together this week afterall...
