Winter Always Ends

Sharing is caring!

I took a stroll around our little yard today. I took in some fresh-squeezed vitamin D, straight from the sun and I breathed fresh Tennessee air. Each breath I took was like someone popping grey balloons full of colorful paint that ran down a canvas making a beautiful piece of art. Almost like waking up from a gloomy dream, I took notice of tiny green buds forming on the trees and hydrangea bushes ready to burst forth in spring's song.

I was reminded that winter always ends. Spring always comes. Even in these dark dreary months of uncontrollable pregnancy sickness, there is hope of beauty...a baby. Even when my soul feels like it's suffocating from being cooped up all winter...spring always comes. If I'll just hold on a little longer, the clouds will clear and the flowers will wake from their slumber.

Winter Always Ends. Spring Always Comes.

*Just an update on my pregnancy--I'm still very sick and if you can tell by the tone of my post, it's really wearing on me. I often wonder why I have this illness during pregnancy when all the others around me seem to have the "perfect" pregnancies filled with ice cream cravings and shopping for tiny clothes. But I am VERY aware that some women would give anything to have hyperemesis if it meant they could give birth to a child. On a positive note, I have felt the baby moving this week! So there's my promise of spring!

May God bless your pregnancy with good health. While expecting my son I suffered through this so I pray the Lord will have mercy and cause it all to settle down soon. We too had enjoyed some good weather and got out to enjoy it. The cold is back now and spring fever is even stronger, nothing compared to your illness. The most wonderful thing about carrying a child is to learn their personality before you ever see their face. It is as if you know them before they even come. As Scriptures says our Lord knew us before He knitted us together in out mother’s womb. Many happy, sunshiny days to you. Mrs. J.

Ah, the title made me hope your sickness was ending. Hang in there! Being outside is such a blessing, even if you're just laying on the porch. :)

Sorry, I can see how that title could've been a little deceiving! I'm so over this Laura. I know you know how it feels!
