My Mother's Day Prayer

Dear God,


Today is a very special day for Mothers everywhere, and I want to especially thank you for giving me the privilege of being a Mother.





I thank you for the extras that you've bestowed upon my once-teenage-like body. It simply means that I have had the honor of experiencing the amazing journey of pregnancy! Four times I have felt the beginnings of life growing inside of my womb.

(Yeah, I can't believe I'm posting this picture!)

I thank you for blessing me with endless energy, even at times when I simply feel like I can't put one foot in front of the other! I am able to enjoy fun times with my kids.





I even thank you for times of injury and discomfort. It gives me a clear sense of what my precious little ones are experiencing.

You have blessed me with four special little bundles of joy!

I even thank you for the gray hairs that I relentlessly yank out of my head, it is proof of the stress that I have experienced in the raising of four incredibly determined, inquisitive, and independent individuals.

I think I am thankful for the scary times ... it is then that I have learned the meaning of truly relying on You!

Thank you for Your Ultimate Plan of blessing me with a husband that is an amazing partner in the most rewarding job in this world ... the job of parenting!

Thank you for blessing me beyond measure! I am honored and humbled to be called "Mom"!
