Beautifully & Wonderfully Made

Years ago a couple at our church gave birth to a healthy baby girl who had webbed toes. As she grew up her parents informed her that by simple surgery she could have the webs removed. She declined saying that if that was the way God created her she did not want the surgery. Eventually she married. They hoped to have children of their own but as that did not happen they began to consider the lengthy process of adoption. And then a nearby teenager became pregnant out of wedlock. She asked them to adopt the baby she was expecting. They gladly agreed.

The day of birth arrived. At the hospital the husband and wife were present for the delivery. The husband was even invited to cut the umbilical cord. Shortly before the delivery, the husband and wife were informed that sometimes in the family line a defect occurred. The healthy baby was born with webbed feet!
