Reflection

This pregnancy has been slightly more challenging than my last.  In addition to my issues with weight gain, acne, and backache, I have recently had to worry about health concerns with my baby girl.  I have to say there is nothing more terrifying, and at the same time, more humbling.  On this Ash Wednesday, as I begin to prepare my heart for the death and resurrection of Christ, I am also opening my heart and mind to the gift and miracle that I have already been given and will receive with my children.  It’s pretty amazing when you have a perfectly healthy child born to you – I look at Liam and just can’t believe I was chosen to be his mama!  He’s absolutely amazing – and each day I marvel at how smart and loving he is.   I am excited about this Lenten season of sacrifice and reflection.  Christ gave the ultimate sacrifice… reflection on this can really put into perspective what in life is truly important.
