HaShem's great compassion is revealed through the creation of the embryo in the mother's womb. Miraculously, out of one drop, a child is formed with a holy soul. This is like a person who gives his friend a silver basket to watch. When he comes to retrieve the basket, his friend gives him a golden basket in its stead. Surely he will express heartfelt thanks to his friend!
The miracle of our existence is one of the greatest miracles of HaShem. We owe great thanks to HaShem for creating us into a living, intelligent human being.
Shabbos is the time to contemplate and thank HaShem for miraculously and mercifully creating you. (Based on the commentary of Yalkut Meom Loaz to Parshas Tazriya)
