Fleeting Time

Time is fleeting.  It passes by us so quickly and pregnancy is no different especially if you have other young ones at home and a family to take care of.  One minute you find out your expecting , before you know it your in your second trimester soon after you begin to "show", then your in your third trimester and before you ever have a chance to think your holding a little miracle in your arms. And I am not going into how fast time flies from that moment on but time does fly especially when we are so busy.
Once we have our baby some thing happens to the brain and fortunate for some yet unfortunate for others, you forget almost completely how it was to be pregnant.  Now if you had a bad pregnancy, were sick and miserable this is part of Gods way of saving you from holding anger and animosity against your sweet baby when it is born.  You know that has to be a picture from God about how Christ loves us.  Before we were born again we sinned and we hurt God by many things we said , did and the choices we made.  We did not live our life for God, obey him or show respect to him for the things he's done for we knew not.  However God knew he died for us and he wanted us to be a part of his family.  Now imagine the hurt we caused to him but his word says "he remembers not our sins" once we give our life to him and we are born again God through the blood of Jesus washes away our sin.  They are seen no more. We can live a knew life for our savior loved by our savior and that is awesome.
So the glorious parrrallel to our pregnancy is the pregnancy may or may not be uncomfortable to you,but what ever the case when you look into your newborns eyes it will all be washed away and you will start a new day where you will never be the same again. similarly our sins and choices that once hurt God he washes away and when we become a new creature in Christ our lives will never be the same again.

Let's pray:
Father God, Thankyou that like a pregnancy you do not remember all the times I have hurt you.  Thankyou that you are a loving God who does not hold our wrongs against us. Thankyou for all the things you can show us through pregnancy and help us to see exactly what you want and desire to show us.  Open our spirit and heart to your plan for this child's life and for me.  Thankyou for giving me another child to look foward to and help us to be the parents and mothers that you would have us to be.
