Finding Contentment in the “State of Sitting on the Nest” and Thankful for Yarn
Oh, yes . . . I’m in need of contentment . . . this pregnancy stage gets lengthy and one becomes weary of the journey long before the journey’s end. Some days I don’t mind it to much,other days like the last couple I came through that had a few health complications just make me think that “I don’t ever want to be pregnant again!” . . . but then it eases, and God sustains and when baby comes he\she is the dearest little thing and it is worth all the pain and sacrifice.
The thought came to me this afternoon that I am like a duck sittin’ on a nest . . . I long to get up and enjoy the freedom of not being “tied down” and “tired out” by my pregnant body, but that’s not an option. I’m in this state and I’m am trying to learn to be content in it . . . and at times it’s quite a hard lesson.
So yesterday even though the temp felt quite warm I pulled out the yarn . . . God gives us such beautiful gifts and one of them is the colors and textures and fun one can have with yarn. I’m not sure what I’m gonna make, right now I’m untangling some dark green wool yarn I got for a bargain at the last rummage sale I stopped at. Today I searched for a basket to hold my treasures close by my “nest” . . . I think that sitting on the nest and sitting on the couch are almost synonymous at least in my stage of the game.
