“Because when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the body of his ancestor,” Hebrews 7:10.
The New Living Translation offers: “For although Levi wasn’t born yet, the seed from which he came was in Abraham’s body...”
Inside...the souls of our children, reside the children still to come. The children then still to come. Like nestled dolls, future generations dwell within the child whose eyes I now look into, whose hands I now touch.

Stars in the sky, seeds in the earth.
We parent not one child, or even a few children, but every day, we parent innumerable, countless children. When I raise my voice, frustrated with a child, I speak to generations of children. When I wipe away a tear, comfort, listen, I honor centuries of children. When we meet our children, children we will not live to meet on this earth, are, in very real ways, met, shaped, formed. Parented.~~~~~~~Face of clay, she is.Made of the dust of the ground. But, oh, the seeds within.
... I take her hand and whisper a prayer.God, give grace to tend her well.
