A Moment of Blessing

Five more weeks.

And I will meet the child growing inside me.

Five more weeks of feeling kicks and watching my belly grow.

Of excitedly preparing and waiting to hold our baby.

Of reflecting on the goodness of God in every season.

And I am in awe of the blessing that it is.

To feel life moving inside me where loss once was.

To watch the promise of God for my life unfold before my eyes.

To grow in unity and intimacy with my husband as we become parents together.

To have so many new experiences and joys to look forward to.

To have the opportunity to Iove, learn, and experience life as a mother.

To hold, nourish, and sustain another precious life.

How kind the Lord is.

How tender are his mercies.

To bless his children again and again.

And for this, I am thankful.

Five. More. Weeks.

Praying for you,

Jasmine
