＜p＞＜strong＞SHORT STORY＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞This story tells of my 12-year journey with infertility, and my faith and hope that God will bless me with a child. It was during the 80s when we did not have the reproductive specialists we have now.＜/strong＞ Adding to this was the fact that I was in my 30s, and care for pregnant women in their late 30s was very new.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Read how my hope shattered when I suffered a miscarriage and the embarrassment I felt when the doctor treated my loss like it was just another day's event.＜/strong＞ My loss happened at the very point when we should have received blessed news confirming my pregnancy and the fact that I was six weeks along.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞I let go of my dream and accepted my fate. But that is not the end of my story.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞"I changed my prayer from the Hannah prayer, because she did not have any children. God blessed me with at least one child. I thanked God for the blessing He sent me and prayed for those who were struggling to conceive their first child, like Hannah. I looked at my initial prayers and associating myself with Hannah as a little selfish. I changed my focus and expressed my gratitude for the child I already had, and not what I did not. Practicing gratefulness helped me move past the grief, and in its place, I felt peace and joy."＜/em＞＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
