The weight that you carry around of your growing child is heavy, but also there is another type of weight… the heaviest you’ll ever know. Knowing that the tiny little person that is growing in there will depend on you for everything, and everything that you do will shape their life… now THAT is heavy. The worry that you have of whether or not you will make the right decisions, protect them from things and people that can hurt them, give them the guidance that they need while the freedoms to make mistakes and grow from them; that is heavy. The responsibility of showing them God’s blessings and teaching them how to have a close relationship with Him, that is heavy.
Like I said, pregnancy (and subsequently parenting) is heavy… like you’ve never known before.
How true! I can feel the weight!
It is a weight that I will NEVER forget!
