The female body. . . what a phenomenom!

I think that most of the time, as women, we are not all that impressed with our bodies. We are critical of every bump and curve. We examine every angle and constantly long to look like someone else. Well yesterday, my big sister ( I guess technically I should say older sister since she is substantially smaller then me) gave birth to her third child.

Whenever someone you know has a baby, you stop and think for a minute about the miracle of life. This time I have been consumed with thoughts of the the miracle of the female body.

My 5'1" sister gave birth to a 9lb baby. That is ridiculous! Ridiculous that her body can even carry a baby that large, let alone deliver it. I am in absolute shock. The fact that our bodies were made to be able to do something like that is unfathomable to me. And it gave me a little perspective on the purpose of these bodies we've been given. They are not given to us to perfect. They are give to us to experience all the wonderful things this life has to offer. And I think everyone would agree that the experience of carrying a child inside of you, and bring that child into the world with a body of their own is one that cannot be matched. I'm so grateful that I am female and that I've been blessed, twice, with that incomparable experience.
