         (Dad to a young mother:) Honey, you're one of my girls, and I'm so proud of you for taking up the challenge of motherhood and for growing into this new time of your life, this exciting time of becoming a mother and caring for a new life in this world.
         I've always said that mothers are the greatest heroes! They're at the top of the list because of their sacrifice and their willingness to give their lives to their children. It's a wonderful calling and a wonderful challenge. I'm so proud of you for taking it so well, and for being so happy and excited about it!
         You're a real good example to a lot of our other young people who are becoming mothers and who are going through battles about it, wondering how it's going to affect them and whether it's going to destroy their usefulness for the Lord. To the contrary! They only become more used, because the Lord can not only use them by themselves, but He can use them through their children as well. So instead of decreasing their usefulness, it doubles their usefulness for the Lord!
         I'm real proud of you, and I'm really happy for you! The Lord has shown His love for you in giving you that child. It's a token of His love. Each one is specially prepared up Here in Heaven. It's not just a random thing where a name is picked out of a hat and that child goes and becomes a child of that mother, but each one is very specially selected for each mother. Each child is specially selected according to your needs and according to what the Lord wants to give you--how He wants to bless you and honor you. And the Lord has honored you and blessed you with a very special child!
         The Lord is really proud of you for your faithfulness to Him and how you're loving Him, loving His Word, being a sample to others, and for your loyalty to Him. The Lord sees all these things and He's very proud of you. He loves you very much, and I love you, too!
         I'll be coming by and visiting you and your little one from time to time, checking up on you, making sure you're okay, and making sure your little one's okay. So if you see me or you feel me around, don't be too surprised, okay? I love you, Honey!
