A New Day, A New Week

Where does all the time go? Yesterday was so crazy busy for me- but I loved every minute of it! Sharing my passion with mothers- to- be, some new at the game, some not as new- but excited! There is so much to learn about how our bodies are designed for birth, for creating new life! And how we also are designed to continue to sustain the life created in mystery within us. How cool is that? Even with all there is to learn, we can trust that our bodies will do well what they were designed to do.
In all of this, considering how our bodies were designed, wo fearfully and wonderfully, I think again of a lovely woman who is wondering wht her body is doing right now, as she lays in a hospital bed, trusting in doctors to find out for her. She has to trust in medicine, but puts all of her hope in the God Who designed us well- and we will continue to pray for her that this Designer will give wisdom for those who ask.
At the same time, there are those whose bodies are busy knitting babies. For two of my daughters, these are best friends. I know my girls have insight into this Design, knowledge about development and the wonder of it all- but it never ceases to surprise and delight! I look forward to all that God has to share with our family as he designs and creates the grandchildren he has planned for us to have someday. He did a really great job on this first one!
So, back to the original thought of this blog. It is such a blessing to be able to share this master Designer's plan with those whose bodies are busily knitting babies. At work, I am able to teach and share, to pass on the knowledge and mystery of this very thing. What a blessing to be a Lifegiver!

Weekend Wanderings

Sunny Saturday. Saturdays, with habits hard to break, are for cleaning, for renewal. We stayed in bed a little late today but awoke to solid daylight showing a new skiff of snow. Sunshine highlights, a machine to clear the snow, helped along by the shovel. Garbage deleted from the house, bathrooms sparkling, kitchen busy with ideas for meals. I love days like this! Sitting here with some Beethoven in quiet contemplation through new speakers, I take the opportunity to meander through the thoughts I have to share today. My family makes me so proud- in a very humbling kind of way! My adult children are living successful lives, each in a satisfying place or moving toward personal satisfaction through schooling or work. I didn't think much about that when we were raising our kids. We thought about values and chose ones that were important to us, to raise our children by. We chose friends who supported those choices. So much of our time was spent in solidifying those choices, driving th

Christmas Eve

Wonder. Watching a two year old light up, counting angels and cookies. Seeing the delight in an adult child's eyes when the favourite meal is prepared. Anticipating the joy on faces of family when presents are given and shared, when breakfast is made together, when turkey is ready. Hearing voices of family that is away, long phone calls, cards exchanged and letters read. I have noticed that some of my posts are starting with just a word- and I may just keep this up! It helps me to focus on what to write! Wonder is a lovely feeling, right up there with anticipation. I feel awe when I think of Mary, pregnant and single, traveling on a donkey so far from home, to give birth alone (we assume) in a stable. Giving birth is a sacred time, when women receive the gift of motherhood and join with all women of all time in a sisterhood like no other. But did she have her mother there to support her? A chosen midwife? A best friend? A doula? Or was her husband her only support in a time when t

Wednesday's Wonder

More of the love of life today. I have found out I will share my passion with a lovely young lady in the spring. She is becoming passionate about so many of the same things as me. Her momma is a wonderful role model, a mother of many with a love of life, a passion for women and their unique role. She is a good friend, one with whom I can talk about the deepest and most intimate topics knowing she understands, that she cares for the friendships of women and in this, models so well for her own daughters as they become women and wives and mothers. Now her daughters are loving life, the process of becoming 'lifegivers' being firmly planted in their hearts and minds. They are worth much more than rubies! And they are being taught how to care for the home, to care for children and elders, to care for husbands, to garden, to cook and clean- we are missing this so much in today's 'too busy' times. I am so blessed to call her friend ! More opportunities in this day included
