On a different note ...I have honestly myself disliked the day for the last two years. I stopped thinking about Him and started thinking about how we lost our first son the day after Easter. And then this year my planned c section is actually tomorrow. Again falling on the day after Easter. It was until yesterday that I never stopped to think of the coincidence. There is a reason our Rainbow baby is coming the day after Easter. (Rainbow baby is a term used for the child born after a loss of a child previous) One of the ladies at church pointed this out to me and I was taken off guard. Well of course this means something! It means that Heavenly Father has not forgotten about me. He has known my struggle for years to conceive a healthy baby after the loss at 20 weeks previously. He has been walking along this journey with us.
When I was first told I had to have my surgery the day after Easter I froze. Now today I am excited to finally hold another son of mine in my arms, and yes even in the day after Easter. Another coincidence is that I will be bringing Seth home on April 9th (pending I am healthy and he is healthy) that's the day we lost Seth back in 2012. That was the day we held our first son, and to be taking home our second son is so special.
So just when things don't seem to go the way you planned please remember to look on the bright side. It's usually not the end and it may just take a wonderful Sister at church to remind you of the blessings. My sons have been able to meet in the Glory of God and play together before my second son came to us. And we will all be reunited one day externally.
