Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
From Sheridan Voysey, Writer and broadcaster:
Call me a slow learner, but it鈥檚 only recently that I鈥檝e come to realise what a miracle conception is. One sperm out of millions meets one egg out of thousands to produce us. And before that, our parents. And before that, their parents. One different sperm, one different egg in generations of ancestry, and you and I wouldn鈥檛 be here. I got reflecting on this after meeting a guy named Paul one morning, who proudly mentioned that his fourth child, a little girl, was due any day. I thought of that little girl and it struck me that even then, unborn, she was already a someone鈥攁 daughter, sister and grandchild because of the fabric of relationships she was woven into.听
It was only when I asked Paul how the pregnancy had been that his face sank a little. He said, 鈥淎ctually, it鈥檚 been stressful. The signs are pointing to our little girl having Down syndrome. That鈥檚 been hard to face, but the real stress has come from medical staff who鈥檝e treated us with disdain for keeping her, saying we should try again for a 鈥榥ormal鈥 child.鈥 A 鈥榥ormal鈥 child? That little girl would soon be born, be given the name Phoebe, and bring joy, personality and talent into the world. She is made in God鈥檚 image, reflecting his nature, and is, according to scripture, 鈥榝earfully and wonderfully鈥 made, having been knit together by God鈥檚 own hands. Whatever her challenges, this says to me little Phoebe is sacred.听
I was sharing this story at a conference for childless couples last week鈥攁n audience of men and women wondering what to do with their lives now they may not become parents. A woman approached me afterwards in tears, saying, 鈥淚 needed to hear about Phoebe. I鈥檝e been so focussed on becoming a mother I鈥檝e forgotten I鈥檓 already a daughter, sister and friend. I鈥檝e felt worthless being childless; I needed to hear I鈥檓 fearfully and wonderfully made.鈥 One sperm, one egg, one unrepeatable existence. I believe what鈥檚 true of Phoebe is true of all of us: Matchless, full of personality and talent, a son, daughter, brother, friend. Crafted by the hands of God, we are fearfully and wonderfully made.
