The phone rang at 2:30 this morning...
With life moving in so many different directions, when the phone rings in the wee hours we have come to expect sad news.
Not today!
My dear friend Meg was in labor. And she wanted me to assist in the coaching and birth of her baby. As a Doula, it is a great joy to experience and witness many different women bring life into this world!
Today was no exception!
Meg and her husband made a wonderful team. Working together, breathing together, holding hands and making the best out of an uncomfortable situation. It kept coming to my mind that this is the reason women grace the earth. To be mothers. It was such a comfort to me, to take my mind through the generations of time...and see mothers of every age. This is what we do. We are mothers, even those who bare no child. It is a mother heart that beats in our chests. It is the tie that binds. It is the knowing smile that is given from woman to woman. Only a woman truly knows the sacrifice involved to nurture and birth a child. To bring souls into this world. To bring life into this generation.
What a gift! Women are God's supreme creation. We bless the earth with joy, love and laughter. With bare feet and sunshine. Hands that lift and hearts that sing. We bear each others burdens. And follow the greatest example ever known to walk the face of the earth. Jesus Christ. Hand in hand with the Savior of the World, women become the lifeline. The link between heaven and earth!
Congratulations Meg!
On a healthy, beautiful baby boy!!!
May the Lord bless you both all the days of your life.
XOXO
Amy

Amy, beautiful words! I can't wait for my turn to be a mom ;)
I didn't know you were Meg's doula. That's awesome.
