The person I chose to focus on is my unborn baby. It was great and scary at the same time, I imagine his tiny face and little hands, I imagine holding him, massaging him and playing the piano for him. Thinking about the joy he has already brought us gave me a sense of peace. However, somewhere through the exercise, I was a little scrared…. scared of failing to be best I should be for him, asking myself, what if I mess up, It's so much to do, wow I am going to a mother… And I had to STOP. That's when my focus shifted form to God asking him the sound mind that I needed because I know I cannot to it alone.

Samie,
ReplyDeleteThinking loving kindness thoughts toward your unborn child is one of the beautiful activities you can engage in at anytime during your day. Learning to love them, show them your love, and nurture them even before birth is a wonderful focus. We all fear if we will be a good parent or if we will cause our children to suffer. Learning to not let the fear stop you is important. Do the best you can, and know that you are doing your best, and your child will also know. Being a mother is one of the biggest responsibilities you will even take on, but also one of the biggest blessings you will ever get! You Will be a Wonderful Mother.
Happy Mothers Day!
