Thank You Lord
I wish to thank you Lord
For allowing me to be a mother
I accept these precious gifts you’ve
bestowed upon me wholeheartedly
I pledge to raise these miracles to
reflect your light
I promise to cherish them
I will love them unconditionally
I will take them by the hand and
guide them through life
I will teach them right from
wrong
I will share with them patience,
kindness, gentleness, joy, and
laughter
I will show them compassion,
understanding, thoughtfulness, and
gentleness
I will shine upon them faith, truth,
and prayer
I will pick them up when they fall
I will dry their eyes when they cry
I will comfort them when they are
sick
I will calm them down when they
have fears
I will instruct them that it is
because of YOU that they have
life
Amen
