Trying to Get Pregnant
A Celtic Prayer for all of us...
Doing a little crafting today since I'm snowed in. I had bought some canvases to make for the nursery (A "If you build it they will come" approach) but we are trying a new approach and turning the office into a real bedroom with DH's great grandparents bed and all ... a reverse psychology approach!
I decided to find a nice prayer for one of the canvases and paint it on and was inspired by a book about St. Nicholas I'm reading. His parents tried for many many years to have children and had him late in life similar to Hannah and other women in the Bible.
I found this beautiful Celtic prayer and had to share...
"Coping with infertility" inspired by the Christian Celtic tradition:
Gracious God, we long for a child and find our hearts shaved of hope
as month after month we go childless.
The love we have to give and share with a child fills us to the brim,
but that love seems thwarted when our longing is not fulfilled.
Look with tenderness on us, O God.
Let the disappointment that hangs over us be lifted by the joy of your touch.
Give us the patience that will re-build hope
as we wait for the fullness of our love in the high calling of parenthood.
We ask this for the sake of your love. Amen
Keep growing preemie ballerina!
