Life is Beautiful

Life is beautiful. It amazing seeing a baby be born and knowing that he/she is fresh from the presence of our Heavenly Father.

Just a few hours ago a friend gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. She is going to be beautiful. But not just because her parents are adorable, but because she is a child of God.

He loves her and knows her needs. He placed in a family that will take care of her and love her. And she will give her parents the love and support that they need. God knows everything and He plans things. He knows every child that has been and that will be born. That is amazing.

I am so excited to know that someday I will have a chance to take part in that. Someday I will be a mom and experience that special bond. The bond of life. Receiving a child that Heavenly Father intended for me and my husband. I really don't care by what means children may come into the life of my future husband and I. If I am able to carry my own children for nine months, great. If I am unable to carry my own children, I already have a testimony that God will put the right people together to make a family.

I have an idea of how hard it can be to carry a child as well as to give a child up for adoption. I work in a daycare and I've worked with a few pregnant ladies. I've heard the ups and downs, the joys and worries. I've worked with infants. I have no fairy tale idea of how raising kids works, anymore. I used to. But then I opened my eyes and I see things more clearly.
I've had a friend give up her child for adoption. It was a hard decision and I know she spent lots of time thinking and praying about what would be best for her baby. It was hard. I admire her for the choices she made for her child.

I don't even know where I'm going with this anymore.
Well, life is great. I'm excited to know that someday I'll get my chance to bring another life into the world. :]
