Darn pregnancy hormones.
Sometimes pregnancy hormones can be embarrassing. I’m sure you know what I mean. As I was reading my Bible this morning, I heard the movie Elf playing in the other room. Let’s not get sidetracked. That’s not a normal thing for me to be hearing on a weekday morning, but there was a good reason today and it’s not part of this story.
So, I was struggling to focus on what I was reading, but I was losing the struggle. And that’s not even the embarrassing part. The embarrassing part is that I was fighting tears of joy as all the hardened cynics of New York City broke into spontaneous Christmas carols, regaining the Christmas spirit lost in their youth and causing Santa’s defunct sleigh to rise into the air and fly! Gag. And it made me cry, when I really wanted to be feeling this:
Blessed be the Lord,
Who daily loads us with benefits,
The God of our salvation!
Our God is the God of salvation;
And to God the Lord belong escapes from death.
Psalm 68:19-20
Read Amy’s humble post to see why this passage struck a chord with me today.

I found myself crying in Racing Stripes, of all things. At least yours was spiritual!

lol… I can relate to this… With my first, I was in tears in October because I thought the apples were so beautiful in the trees… lol
Have a good pregnancy!
Unfortunately, this also happens to me when I’m not pregnant. I’m thinking “gag”, while wiping my eyes. At least you’ve got an excuse with the hormones! I hope you’re feeling much better now.
Gracious! I have been crying over everything lately. I have done that exact same thing! No kidding.
Recently the tears have come much easier. I know it’s pregnancy, bc 6 weeks ago I didn’t cry over silly Hallmark cards and now I do.
