From Mundane To Marvelous

As I progressed through the first trimester of pregnancy, I discerned that the baby-forming process promised a whole bunch of discomfort: sausage ankles, midnight heartburn and unceasing urges to visit restrooms and refrigerators. I had three choices:

• I could pass the next nine months whining and miserable.
• I could keep my mouth shut and simply survive.
• I could rejoice in God's gift growing inside me.

By choosing to replace negative complaints with positive praise, my life moved from mundane to marvelous, and I learned a valuable lesson from the experience.
