Time with others seems to heal

Tonight we were able to spend some time with our close friends and their small families. We have a group of friends that get together ever month to do something. It's so great and we love when we are all able to hang out. The other two couples we hang out with both have two little ones all under four. They are adorable and we absolutely love them.
We're so blessed to have such amazing friends who are so supportive of our situation. Not that they wouldn't be or have done anything rude or insensitive in the past it's just a huge relief to have people in your life that may not understand fully what you're experiencing but are so loving and considerate. They don't get awkward when we talk about it, they don't avoid topics like pregnancy or their plans to have another baby. It's just so nice that they treat us like we're normal. Life isn't on hold because we're infertile. Life is just taking a different route. We'll get there when it's time to get there.
We especially appreciate that they trust us with their children. Sometimes I can't help but have thoughts and feelings about God not being able to trust me with His children and thats why we're infertile. It doesn't make logical sense but they are real feelings and emotions. But, to know that your close friends and family would trust you with their little ones helps heal the heartache you feel knowing you may not have your know. It helps push away those thoughts and feelings that eat away at you. Those negative feelings that would consume you if you let them.
We love spending time with our friends and their kids. Their sweet little spirits are so uplifting. They give us hope. For some people its really hard to be around  the people they're close to and their babies but for us its such a blessing. We love their energy, their curiosity, their creativity. In fact one of the two year olds was sitting in my lap drawing on a piece of paper and my heart melted. He was so proud of himself.
It makes me so excited for my own family. We're so grateful for the friends we have been blessed with. They truly are a God send.
