meant

Got to tell your story again today, sweet boy.

Reece's sweet old VBS teacher today asked if I planned to have 5 more children.
That was a huge compliment. I told her I was 40. ; )
And then I told her and another mom how very grateful I am to be 40 and pregnant with you. I love telling your story...God's story.

Today, it was meant for someone.
Turns out the other mom (of two children), was struggling to have a 3rd. It had been easy to conceive the other two, and she was in unfamiliar territory. She said she hadn't told many people because they often responded with "well aren't you glad you already have 2?" There just isn't as much sympathy for those struggling with infertility, who already have children.

Sweet boy, she was so encouraged today by your story and by God's grace, timing, love, and blessing.

Lord, I pray for her today. I pray for her journey. I pray she know and feel your presence with her, and that she begin to feel peace about your plans, which are far, far greater than our own. And, Lord, I pray that you bless her in a way that your sweet love be known.

Thank you, Lord for your blessing, for this baby boy, and for another day.
