As I was laying in bed last night it occurred to me how grateful I am to be a mother. I feel so lucky that I didn't have trouble getting pregnant, staying pregnant, or giving birth. I don't know why this is given to some people who don't deserve it, and withheld from some beautiful women (many that i know and am close to) who deserve it beyond measure. There is a woman I know who has a mothers heart, but has had several miscarriages and has not been given that gift in this life. Cecily just adores her. It makes me melt to see C.J. yell her name and run to her in the hall at church, but it also makes me hurt to think of her pain. The sunshine in all of this is that I know God is just, and that He will give her blessings beyond measure either in this life or in the next. It's also good for me to realize what a tremendous responsibility and gift I have from Heavenly Father. I have an amazing little girl.
Wendy, do you tell people on your other blog about this blog! It's a great idea writing down the things you are grateful for.
ReplyDeleteYou are a doll of a sister. I like this blog too! I need to remember to put it on my sidebar. I'm glad you have your little CJ. She is so lucky to have you as a mommy and I love to see how much you two are alike!
