Beautiful Feet

I’m writing again for 5 minutes… without thinking, editing, etc…. here I go again!  Join me?  It’s not that scary.  Linking up over @ The Gypsy Mom.


This week’s prompt is BEAUTY…

Beautiful Body

Writing about beauty seems kind of silly when you are 37 1/2 weeks pregnant.  Everyone else thinks you are beautiful, but all I can see right now is the end in sight {you know, when I’ll get my body back}. 

Beautiful Gifts

After having 2 other children, I know that my body will never return to me… you know, the one before kids.  But I wouldn’t give it up for the world!

To hold that baby in my arms is the best gift I could receive after 9 months of carrying this precious, beautiful creation.

Beautiful Friends

Last night I went out with some girlfriends.  We stuffed our faces with authentic Mexican food… and no one judged our poor choice of portion size and bad manners.

Beautiful Fun


Then we went for pedicures… and we laughed and laughed and laughed until we almost peed our pants.  {okay, maybe I did just a bit, but I’m 9 months pregnant!}  

One lady in the salon was talking on the phone and said that there were 4 drunk ladies getting pedicures.  Funny to think that when you see friends having a good time, they must be drunk.  We were drunk purely on laughs and enjoying our wonderful Christian sisters in the Lord.

Beautiful Feet

I love having shiny new pretty feet all ready for labor… but I also remember one thing… God’s Word and how it say my feet are beautiful if I spread His good news.  


Do you have beautiful feet today?

Isaiah 52:7
 7 How lovely on the mountains
Are the feet of him who brings good news,
Who announces peace
And brings good news of happiness,
Who announces salvation,
And says to Zion, “Your God reigns!” 



STOP

Thanks for visiting!

  2. I’m on my way to get a pedicure as soon as I get the kiddies dressed and dropped off at my mother-in-law’s! I remember going out with a friend when we were both about 30 weeks or so pregnant and something set us off into what seemed endless laughter in the restaurant. I had to get up and leave the table for a while!

    Love the good times!

    smoooches,

    I loved being pregnant! It was so special to conceive a child and watch the evidence of its growth. I never felt beautiful, but I gloried in the beauty of being a part of creation.

  24. Oh Traci – what a beautiful beautiful post! I LOVE those girlfriend times, and have had a few of those moments when someone must have thought we were drunk. AAAHHH – how good for the soul those precious times are. SO thankful you got to share in that memory-making time together. You are such an inspiration and darling. Praying for a smooth delivery and healthy baby. Cannot wait to see photos of your heavenly gift. Love you Sister. XO

  28. Great job on the word Beauty! I’ve had people say I was drunk before just from having fun with other Christian friends. Guess the world doesn’t understand that much fun!!!
