Picture of the Year

Please read before viewing the picture - it's worth it !

A picture began circulating in November. It should be
" The Picture of the Year", or perhaps, "The Picture of the Decade".
It won't be. In fact, unless you obtained a copy of the
US paper which published it, you probably would never have seen it.
The picture is that of a 21-week-old unborn baby named
Samuel Alexander Armas, who is being operated on
by surgeon named Joseph Bruner.

The baby was diagnosed with spina bifida and would not survive
if removed from his mother's womb. Little Samuel's Mother,
Julie Armas, is an obstetrics nurse in Atlanta. She knew of
Dr. Bruner's remarkable surgical procedure. Practicing at Vanderbilt
University Medical centerin Nashville, he performs
these special operations while the baby is still in the womb.
During the procedure, the doctor removes the uterus via C-section
and makes a small incision to operate on the baby. As Dr. Bruner
completed the surgery on Samuel, the little guy reached his tiny,
but fully developed hand through the incision and firmly
grasped the surgeon's finger. Dr. Bruner was reported as saying
that when his finger was grasped, it was the most emotional moment
of his life and that for an instant during the procedure he was just
frozen and totally immobile.

The photograph captures this amazing event with perfect clarity.
The editors titled the picture,
"Hand of Hope". The text explaining the picture begins,
"The tiny hand of a 21-week-old fetus Samuel Alexander Armas
emerges from the mother's uterus to grasp the finger of Dr. Joseph Bruner
as if thanking the doctor for the gift of life."
Little Samuel's mother said
they "wept for days" when they saw the picture. She said, " The photo reminds
us pregnancy isn't about disabilities or an illness, it's about a little person."

Samuel was born in perfect health, the operation 100 percent successful.

Now see the actual picture, and it is awesome...incredible... and hey, pass it on.
The world needs to see this one!



Don't tell me my God isn't an awesome God !!!
