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
