Death is a mystery. We never fully comprehend it. At some point after the funeral we need to go off by ourselves for a time of silence because we are in the presence of mystery. Words will not answer the questions in our hearts. Another encounter with mystery occurs under joyful circumstances with the birth of a child.
Parents can relate to the mystery of the moment.
A child that was not there is conceived and grow in the mother's womb for nine months and then comes into our lives. I remember the birth of my niece as a mystery. This new baby girl entered our life and words could not describe the moment. An incredible scene from nature, the death of a loved one, the birth of a baby, all encounters with God. A Britany Spears song is not awesome, nor is a supreme pizza.
