We talk a lot in the LDS church about different gifts that each of us has been given.
Some are given the gift of faith. Others the gift of humor. And on and on. But each of us has at least one gift.
I think that being a happy pregnant woman is a gift.
I'm not kidding! I've been thinking about it the last few days. I have realized that I am terrible at being pregnant. I whine, I make faces, I groan, I pout, etc.
I told this to D and he said "well, not every pregnancy is like yours." True, but regardless, I am still terrible at being pregnant. I could find the good. I could choose to be happy. "Come what may and love it" - yeah, I have been really bad at that the last 33 weeks. I just can't seem to get over feeling miserable!
Clearly, my gift is not the gift of being a happy pregnant woman. :)
And I'm totally jealous of the women who have that gift.

BUT you do have the gift of sharing your experiences with people (like me) who are reminded constantly that there are so many things to be thankful for.
ReplyDeleteThank you for using/sharing your gift!
