My heart is aching today...especially today. Not sure why. There are so many people I love--family, friends, neighbors--who want, every living moment, to bring a baby into their home. I don't understand why, when there are so many unwanted babies in this world...why it is so difficult for those who want to get. I try to wrap my head around it. I try to make my heart understand it. It never works.
I understand our imperfect bodies. I understand that disappointment. I do not understand babies being aborted, abandoned, & dumped in garbage cans, when thousands...surely millions...of people in this world ache, in a way I could never understand...to hold, to have, to love a baby who belongs to them.
good things...

so interesting you posted this today for i have been obsessed of this very same thought for the past couple weeks. i have someone very close to me who confides in me often, quietly & secretly about her heartache. after each time we converse and she has pours her soul out, all i can do is wonder this very same thing. it just breaks my heart. i love her dearly. the more we talk, the harder i pray.
Thank you for the way you word things.... we have been blessed with two babies but have struggled for five years now for another... it is heart breaking for us to try to explain to our children why we don't have more children when they ask for another brother or sister (we always thought we'd have 5 to 7 kids and not deal with infertility)... I have too many dear friends who have not been able to conceive at all and my heart goes out to them so much...
It sure makes ya wonder sometimes doesn't it.
I never thought in a million years I would only have 2 little one's at 34.
I CHERRISH them. Even when they are naughty.
All I can say is, "ditto"!
