Good news !

Everyone around me seems to be either baking one inside their womb , or popping out one these days....

My school time best friend recently give birth to a baby girl.

My neighbor , with whom I go for walks, is expecting a baby girl in a few months.

Another school friend, is carrying...

Other friends keep sharing pics of their babies on facebook/orkut.

The one television soap that I follow, has one of the ladies in it having a baby, and another one expecting one soon.

Everybody keeps asking me...."so when are you giving us the good news?"

Too much baby talk all around me...it makes me want to have one of my own so badly...

 

It must be such a magical feeling to know that another life, from your own flesh and blood, is taking shape inside you...

It is the biggest miracle, the most fascinating phenomenon, and it must feel so special to be a part of a miracle.

 

When a woman is carrying another life in her womb, and is a part of such a miraculous process, does she feel closer to God ?

No wonder, to a woman, then the most important of all relationships, is the relationship with her child. The most important person on earth is the child.

 

Maybe its the hormones, maybe its the biological clock that's ticking away and telling me that its high time I take part in this miracle too....whatever it is, the craving for a baby of my own keeps growing stronger and stronger...each day.

Thus I pray....when the time is right....and when God wills....

Hear and there.
