Love for Family & Friends

Throughout the pregnancy so far, we've been reading a devotional my mom got me called Your Pregnancy Devotional: 280 Days of Prayer and Inspiration by Pamela Fierro & Suzie Chafin. The daily readings are short, and as I read through them it's funny how recently, they seem to line up more and more with how I've been feeling. Anyways, I liked today's and thought I'd share it with everyone on here.

Day 153

Unspoken Words

"...Paul sent for the disciples and, after encouraging them, said good-bye and set out for Macedonia. He traveled through that area, speaking many words of encouragement to the people..."

Acts 20:1-2

Within every relationship, there is a finite window of opportunity. When the window is open, we have the opportunity to tell that person how we feel, expressing how much we love them and what they have meant to us. At some point the window will close. Whether through death, divorce, or distance, eventually there will come a time when the window closes, shutting off the opportunity to speak those important words. 

Every day God puts people into your life that you value, whether precious friends or family members. Who are those special people in your life right now, the ones sharing in this special season of pregnancy? Who are the people who will play an important role in the life of this child? Have you told them lately what they mean to you, what a blessing they have been to you? At some point, the window of opportunity will close and you will be unable to share with them. Today, while your windows are open,  tell the ones in your life what they mean to you, how thankful you are for them, and how much you love them. Don't live a life of unspoken words.

We are blessed to have awesome families and close friends that have been there supporting us for the last 22 weeks. We are grateful for each one of them and thankful for the roles they've played in our lives through the pregnancy thus far, and for the impact we know they'll continue to have on our family throughout the rest of the pregnancy and once Baby C is here. ♥ We love you and I don't know what we'd do without you! You know who you are!

Changing subjects real quick before the post comes to an end, I wanted to share this video I made with my new PlaySport. You can see and feel Baby C from the outside now.  :)  Only three more days until we get to see him/her on the inside!!!
