A couple months ago, I was marveling at how big my daughter has grown and how much we share in common. Because she's here, I often have a perceptive, artistic little lady in the house as a companion, and I am so grateful for that. I was remembering the day I found out I was pregnant with her and thinking that I had no idea what a gift I was being given. I decided that if I ever were pregnant again, I would at least have a clue that I was richly blessed.
Except right after that, I found out that I actually was pregnant, and I am not feeling richly blessed. Intellectually, I'd agree that I am, but emotionally, I'm not there yet. Mostly, I just feel exhausted.
Maybe this is part of being human. We often can't keep up with our blessings.
"We often can't keep up with our blessings"
ReplyDeleteA profound truth. Thanks.
God bless thee and strengthen thee, and send thee the help thee needs now while thee's feeling sick and weary, in all thee has to do. God rest His hand on thee and carry thee. xx
