Finding the Joy in Suffering while Pregnant

Thought of the Day
I'm reading "Your Labor of Love" by Agnes Penny which has given me such a different mindset on the sufferings of pregnancy. She described it as one of the most beautiful things of pregnancy....that's right! the sickness, aches and pains. It's the most beautiful part because you are able to surrender your body to Christ and by these sufferings, you are given the honor and privilege to be able to assist Him in creating new life within you. It's the first part of learning to be self-giving in motherhood. May I always be reminded of this throughout the months ahead!
