William Letginlal Haokip: First Birthday

A moment to Remember: The birth of my son

Today (the 1st of October 2008) my son is completing 365 days under the dust and the wind of this planet. He came to this world on Monday at 3:30 pm, October 1, 2007. He weights 3.8 Kg and looks like none other than His creator. At his birth his mother longs for her beloved husband to be around for emotional support to ease the pain, but her dreams and desires grow dim as her husband was miles and miles away from home. The many people around her could give little comfort; their presence hardly mean anything. Her tears drop falls like a cascade, yet no one in the room could read that tears except the triune God. The Almighty God heard the cried, He came and touched the fading mother who was lying unconsciously, and she gave birth to a healthy young baby boy.

On October 1, 2007, the lunch at Sermapore College was over; the dining hall was empty, as most of the students having filled their stomach were in their room for afternoon nap. But there was one faithful man who was on his knee inside MSQ 113. He was earnestly pleading for God’s gracious hand to be upon his wife and the unborn child. His prayer was answered and instantly his cell phone rang, he picks up and answered the phone; it was the voice of his mother-law who was filled with excitement exclaims “Congratulation! Mr. Paul, you have a baby boy”. And that man knew no bound, and he was back on his knee again and keep thanking God again and again for prayer answered. I said …The Lord’s is faithful all the time.

Glory to His name….Amen
