with God's blessing, no matter how long or short that journey
may be. In choosing the body the Spirit is also choosing the
parents and any other carer the parents might choose to
partake in the child's upbringing. It is without question that
every participant in the child's life, especially the early years,
will manifest the qualities for which they have been chosen.
