You are indeed Beautiful!

This was posted on a forum that I read almost daily and it almost put me in tears. I don't know if I'm the only one, but I often struggle with my self-image when I'm pregnant. Especially the last part of it, I just always felt so huge and ugly. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't get comfortable...those that have been pregnant know what I mean! Anyway, although I'm not pregnant anymore I wanted to post this for those that are and read my blog (I know of a few of you) to encourage you to remember that you are indeed beautiful:-)


"You are carrying and creating a new life. A whole new person is coming into being to plant flowers, sing songs, and praise God. Inside your belly, tiny little hands and feet are forming. They will build skyscrapers, receive the Body of Christ, hold the hands of your grandchildren. A brain is growing that will wonder at the mysteries of this world, write poetry, meditate on Christ. Little eyes are developing. They will cry bitter tears, close in angelic sleep and gaze upon hte faces of your great grandchidren. The problem is that you look in the mirror and see only your reflection. If you look carefully past yourself, you will see down the years and realize how you are spreading joy through the generations of your family. You are indeed very beautiful."
