A Mother's Day Prayer
Thank you, Lord, for Your special gift of mothers; for the example of Your unconditional love they share with their children. Thank you for the mother who lets her child know without a doubt he or she is loved; and for the child who returns that love. Lord, today we pray You will protect and quide mothers everywhere; that You will grant them Your wisdom in loving and teaching their children. Today, may children everywhere remember the warm caresses and whispers in the night; the tears dried and Band-aids, the peach cobbler, and the laughter. Thank you for the mothers who played with us, taught us, nurtured us, fed us, listened to us and tried to understand us. Today, may we remember Mom's beauty when we were young; and her loveliness discovered as we aged. Lord, today draw especially close the mothers who are alone, for whatever reason; and grant them Your comfort, Your pleasure, Your peace. Today as we honor, celebrate or simply reflect on the woman who gave us birth, or who adopted us into her heart, we thank You, Lord for life and for Mom! In Jesus Name, Amen.
Thank you, Lord, for the blessing of being a mother. Thank you, Lord, for the blessing of having wonderful, Godly mothers raise both Todd and I!
My cup over floweth with joy and thanksgiving for this special day to celebrate both being a mom and having a mom!
From the bottom of our hearts, and to each of our Mothers...We love you!
Love,
Todd & Leah

I posted that poem too - I loved it! Do you know who wrote it? I felt bad not giving credit where credit is due. But, it was too good not to share.
Happy Mother's Day to you! Maggie is so blessed to have you as her Mama. What a wonderful example of a godly woman she has to look up to! :)
