My New Years Wish for us all!
No one asks for IF because that would just be insane. However, IF has made me a stronger woman and one who is much more conscious of the dreaded question "When are you having children?" I used to cringe when I heard people ask this of others.
There are too many women left on the IF boards and each day another crosses over from TTC. This saddens me greatly.
My wish for the new year is that there would be no need for this board. That those who are cycling now, get there BFP! That each of you have a healthy and happy 9 months! That each of you get to hold that miracle.
Each of you are so strong and deteremined! May 2009 be the year of the miracle for us all!
I know many of us beleive in the power of prayer, so I have included the Prayer to St. Gerard and Hanah's Prayer.
Prayer to St. Gerard
O good St. Gerard,
powerful intercessor before God
and Wonder-worker of our day,
I call on you and seek your help.
You who on earth did always fulfil God's design,
help me to do the Holy Will of God.
Beseech the Master of Life,
from whom all paternity proceeded,
to make me fruitful in offspring,
that I may raise up children to God in this life
and heirs to the Kingdom of His glory
in the world to come. Amen.
Hannah's Prayer from Berakhot 31b
Master of the Universe, Have you created anything in vain?
Our eyes you made for seeing and our ears for hearing, our
mouths for speaking, our noses for smelling, our hands for
working.
And our breasts.
Did you not also create our breasts to suckle a babe?
Grant me a child, O Lord, that he may be nourished from me.
O Lord, you reign over all the hosts, the angels above and
the mortals below. The angels above do not propagate.
They do not multiply.
They do not die.
Mortals below are fruitful,
And multiply,
And die.
If I am an angel,
then let me live forever.
but if I am mortal,
Then grant me a child
So I can do my part
In perpetuating humankind.
To a Very Fertile 2009!
