Humbled by my beautiful life

Walking our babies - September 2005
Still waiting for a baby.  Still waiting for the phone to ring.  Still answering "I don't know" when my children ask when "their baby" is coming.  Still wondering why the wait has been the length of two pregnancies.  Still worrying about it to my husband. Still wondering why in the midst of the wait, our nursery and everything in it burned.

However, I wouldn't trade it.  Because I'm...

Still grateful for the three "babies" I have.  Still thankful that the phone rang three times to announce their arrivals.  Still believe that our 4th child is out there growing somewhere and finding its way to us.   Still loving my husband and his devotion.  Still blessed that I have an able body and was able to help my three children escape our burning house.

Need inspiration today?  Here it is!
