After my friend Bobbi left, I checked emails to find a message from someone who is almost like a sister to me. She wanted to ask me to be praying for them, as they found out recently they are pregnant. I’m SO excited for her and her family. That makes three people that are near and dear to my heart, that are pregnant at this very moment. I’m SO excited for them all.
My mom and sister-in-law asked me last week if Marcel and I were still trying to have a baby, and I told her that even though we would both love to have a child, that I felt we were getting too old to actually carry a child. Don’t yell and scream at me- I know, I know people do it all the time these days, but I personally feel that for ME, that I’m not sure I’d want to bear a child at almost 42. I would love to be a mother though, and adoption is something that we’ve been considering, but still needs more research.
I would love to have a child, and I think I would be an OK mom, but I’ve never been one to think that if I don’t have a child, that my life is not complete. I’m not sure why I have never had that feeling, but I’ve also never had that – ‘the biological clock is ticking’ feeling. I AM a firm believer that what should happen, will.
In the meantime- I’m thrilled that three people that I know and love are expecting a little bundle of joy. I’m going to be a great auntie 🙂
My Gratitude List for May 8, 2009.
Today I’m Grateful For:
- Great news from ‘home’.
- Delicious, Zero fat – Greek Yogurt
- Paperchase Products, which I love.
- My fluffy dotted pj’s that I’ve kept on all day.
- Soup days, which means no cooking.
It is a true gift to be content with where you are ad with what you are given or not given… That peace is more precious that jewels, my friend. If it happens – well it happens and I know for a fact the two of you would be wonderful parents.

The garden is if in fact is, is within thee and btw in a beautiful Lily, which will be pg with love and with that which follows and if not at least you will be fullfilled in a lesser but fruitful way in love which is reserved for those who are not so blessed as your loves want but at the very least you have that which is provided for those who are denied by men that which God has already Given, though they feel power they have lost all, not only that but that which they still have, but that too will be taken from them as all that they have accumulated unjustly in fleshly worldly lust against others while they leave you with what God has always provided and which None can take from you, and that is more enduring then all but If I will have anything left after God has done his will, I will accept it with Joy and thank him for all he has given that others never saw but which I have seen and Joyed in and Been Thrilled to see Blessings which Few have seen or even immagined and have seen things removed which even have lived and not known that they truly have been removed by God Himself amen, cher, until they have seen His Face in Terror, amen,
