The unexpected

The first snowflakes of the season fell here in Terre Haute today. All Terre Hautians are in an uproar taking sides: either you're for the snow or against it.

I am for it. I figure if it's going to be cold there might as well be snow. I never cease to be excited for a new blanket of snow.

Another unexpected thing today: I felt that pang. The pang in my heart that reminds me I'm meant to be a mother.....one day. Not today. But one day, Lord willing.

I feel God here with me as that pang resounds in my heart. He knows. And that means everything to me.

I trust Him with the pain of the pang and look at the children who ARE in my life with renewed appreciation and love.

So many families in my life are soon to be blessed with a baby soon (at least 5 that I can think of) and I can't help but look at God with wonder 1) because He can make a person come from another and 2) that He gives me the opportunity to look to Him as I live alongside those who are recieving while I am not receiving.

So I look to Him and I count the endless blessings which He has put in my life. I can wait.
