Infertility

Verse...  "But the angel said to him "Do not be afraid.".  Luke 1:13 NIV


Thought for today.  The verse above was when the angel was telling Zechariah that his wife was expecting a child and she was advanced years (she was thought barren).  But I think the message applies to us as well.  "Do not be afraid"...  God knows the plan for you life..  We have been studying this verse at church and I just felt the need to share it this morning.

Poem.... This poem was written about infertility but I believe it applies to us as well.  Because we still have the longing for the baby.  I hope you enjoy.  I found this online author unknown...

Our infertility cannot be seen


But we feel it everyday

The hurt the anguish and despair

Doesn’t go away



We are grieving all the time

For something we never had

I never thought that was possible

To lose something that was never there – to feel so sad



We hate to feel this way

We hate to cry these tears

We hate to wonder how long this will take

Will it be months or years?



It kills us to see other families

It’s a reminder of what we aren’t

We should smile for them and be happy

But we just can’t



It hurts us to listen to parents

Saying a crying baby is the pits

We should be so lucky to have a crying baby

We wouldn’t mind a bit



We would sit and admire our baby

This amazing thing that we created

We would embrace this baby with so much love

And talk about how long for this we had waited



We wouldn’t mind the dirty nappies

Or the many sleepless nights

We would just be grateful to have our bundle

That we would hold so tight



We wouldn’t complain about feeding

Or having our lives turned upside down

Nothing could get rid of our smiles

From having our baby around



We hope the wait is over soon

And that our baby will be here

Then the day will come

That we can finally shed happy tears
