Through a babies eyes....

Having a newborn has really been an eye-opener to alot of things. I have seen her grow and develop almost daily. Her eye sight has inproved over time. She can now follow objects side to side and loves looking at lights, not sure how good this is for her though.

About a week ago I started noticing that when she is facing me she doesn't really look at me alot. She tends to look over my shoulder at the wall. She seems to be facinated with the wall even though there's nothing there...no light, no picture or mirror for her to focus on. This all got me thinking. Is there really nothing there or is it that I can't see what is there? Ariana will look over my shoulder and actually follow something with her eyes as if it's moving.

As a christian I firmly believe in the spiritual realm...angels and demons. Ariana's tracking got me thinking. What if we are able to see the spiritual as babies and lose this ability as we grow old. Maybe we begin to question it or just loose focus when we become children. Can she really see her guardian angel?

Dan told me of a time when she was really fussy and looked over his shoulder and calmed right down. This gives me even more evidence that God is always with us and sends his angels to watch over us all the time. God is good all the time. Amen.

I believe that she can see angels. She's one herself! Keep her bathed in prayer. I have 3 guardian angels that are with me all the time. My grandmother saw them and described them to me. I have also dramt of them. I have personally seen about 4 angels. They are real! The bible talks about them quite a bit.

That's cool. I think I remember you telling me about that. It makes you wonder wether we all can at birth and loose it over time though? Anyone have any thoughts?

I've seen angels too, and dreamed about them as well.

as for thoughts on "losing the ability" perhaps it might have something to do with the fact that she hasn't sinned yet...she's probably still extremely close to God in a spirit-to-spirit sense, and if Sin separates us from God and she hasn't sinned yet, then she's still be very close to Him....that has no real biblical basis - simply my opinion.

She may also have a Gift, like the Gift of Sight or something that you're seeing manifest itself at an extremely young age. Again, no real biblical backing, simply a thought.
