I attended the birth of a baby girl (these days, I only go with family and very close friends). We harmonized and sang - she sang through her contractions. He sang to her while she was pushing. That baby was born into love and songs of the Greatness of G-d. We sang of thanks, psalms and faith. This Sabbath-born baby was born in loving faith.

I cried at this birth- the first tears of joy at birth- since my own, 12 years ago.

Harness the strength, beauty and love in song- birth is beautiful. Birth is powerful. Birth is praisworthy. Fear not, the power harness in music heals and can provide a protective shield around the heart of a laboring woman.
