Day 3-I'm thankful for God's gift of children and our 3 bring absolute JOY to our lives!
All my life, I looked forward to having children and becoming a mother. I can recall when my older sister was pregnant with my niece and I was so close to her! From the moment I felt her kick in my sister's tummy-to the first time I held her in my arms. I felt that unconditional love that you first experience with loving a child. It was the best thing!
Then when I got married and we started to plan for having children of out own, we went through a slight scare because I had a pre-cancerous surgery on my cervix, which my Dr. said made it risky to become pregnant. She wanted us to wait at least a full year before we tried conceiving. She also said there was a slight chance that I may not be able to conceive after the surgery because of possible scar tissue forming. I remember feeling so upset at the thought of not having children! I just couldn't believe that I would ever hear those words and I didn't want to believe it! Well, my husband and I didn't wait as advised. We got pregnant right away and THANKFULLY the entire pregnancy went without issue. We gave birth to a healthy, beautiful, baby boy and all was right in the world!
We went on to have 2 more easy pregnancies and 2 beautiful daughters who are the MOST amazing sisters to each other!
Children are a GIFT from God and we are so THANKFUL for the blessing of our children!
