You know a baby is small when you have to fold down a "preemie" diaper. That's our newest grandbaby, 4 lb. 7 oz. Inga Jane. (She's our 3rd granddaughter in seven months.) Born in her 34th week on December 30, she's still in NICU. Our daughter Tabitha has been camping out beside Inga's incubator twelve hours a day for two weeks. Inga is eating better, gaining strength, and growing little by little. She seems content in her own little world that is roughly the size of a laundry basket. It's the only world she's ever known. But there's a much bigger world out there, and her eyes will see it soon enough.
We all sometimes forget that our tiny "worlds" are not all there is. We each live in a world made up of our circle, our business, our problems, our needs. I was reminded of that just a moment ago as I read about the earthquake in Haiti. I won't even bother to mention what I considered my "problems" yesterday.
There is also another world out there, and some have no awareness of its existence. The Bible calls it Heaven. Mainstream science has no interest in, nor means of, exploring it. To skeptics, it is merely a myth, an attempt to escape reality. And many of us who are aware of this world frequently live like we forget that it exists. But it does exist, and our eyes will see it soon enough.
