Most nights I lay in bed and pray for my family. I pray for my husband, for his health and safety. I pray that I am a good wife and mother. I also pray for my girls.
I am laying here tonight and felt the urge to type my prayer out.
God, thank you so much for all the blessings you have given me today. Each laugh and giggle from my precious babies is so beautiful and special. Thank you for their health. Thank you for the bond we share. Thank you for the cuddles I got after doctoring a hurt finger today. I hold those moments so dear to my heart.
Lord, please continue to bless us with health and happiness. We may not have much in earthly possessions but we are truly a happy family! Dancing to oldies and making play dough are memories I hope to have forever.
Help me to raise my girls to love you and respect you by respecting themselves. Help them to be shining examples for you.
Help their father and I to be great parents. Help us to love one another more and more every day. Help them to see the love we have for each other and know that it takes love, commitment and work to make a marriage last (Help us remember that too).
Help me to be like my mother, someone my children can come to with anything because they know I will help them and love them no matter what. Thank you for the example I had with my mother (and grandmother).
Thank you for all that you have given me, Lord. You knew my heart’s desires better than I did. Being a mother is something I wasn’t sure I wanted to be until it happened and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Thank you.
Amen
