So, Buddy has been asking - a lot lately - if I am pregnant yet. I have to keep telling him "no, honey. Mom and dad are waiting just a little bit so the babies can get a little older and mom can lose some weight to make sure she has a healthy pregnancy." Of course, we always add the "but you never know what God has planned for us...." Well, apparently that is not good enough for him... Two nights ago, during family prayers, when it came to his turn, after saying what he was thankful for, he decided to ask God for another baby brother....
O boy!
Well, with no sustainable income for 12 months and me being seriously overweight, and having a 2 year old and an 11 month old.... I am certainly not going to say no to whatever God has planned for me BUT I really am hoping that He does not have another blessing of the baby type planned for any time withing the next 12-18 months.... I am so very thankful NFP is 99% effective - for postponing pregnancy as well as for couples trying to achieve pregnancy....
Saint Michael, your heart was filled with great charity for God and man.
Our Lord returned your love and allowed you to exchange mystically your heart with His.
Pray for all whose hearts are afflicted with illness, fear, or loneliness.
Teach us to be resigned to God's will in all the trials and sicknesses.
Help us to live as you lived - to do good now and for eternity.
Amen
