Day 28- A moment you remember being completely happy in and a description of why you believe you were. What is your definition of happiness?
My definition of happiness? Resting in the will of my Lord and Savior and completely putting my will far from me.
The happiest moment of my life, with the exception of becoming a believer, was the day my daughter was born. Indeed it was exciting to discover I was pregnant. And it was wonderful to go with a home birth. It is something for which I will always be grateful.
I remember wanting a little girl so badly, but I basically resigned myself to having a boy. You know how it is, mommies. You would be happy either way as long as the child is healthy, but...
I remember my sense of relief as I pushed this child from my wound. I remember them trying to tell me to look in the mirror so I could see my baby's head right before she popped out. Nope! I had one focus. I wanted to see my baby!
Once this child was born, I heaved a sigh of relief. I honestly didn't think about the sex of the child for that moment. I remember the midwife telling my then husband, "Do you want to tell you wife what she had?" I could hear the smile in his voice--one of the only times I ever knew him to be happy--and I was certain he was going to tell me that it was a boy. When he said we had a girl, I hollered and hugged my mom. I remember crying out something like that is what I had really wanted!
So this is the little one who made me so very happy:
