A Mother's Prayer

Oh give me patience when tiny hands
Tug at me with their small demands.
And give me gentle and smiling eyes;
Keep my lips from sharp replies.
And let not fatigue, confusion or noise
Keep me from sharing my child's new found joys.
And most of all, help me to look above
When at times I think I have no love.
For You have promised to bear my load
As these precious lives unfold.

A Gift of Life


I'm a mother again and it fills me with great joy seeing this new life grow inside me and now she's out into this world. I thank God for His loving grace and mercy, and for watching over me through my pregnancy and delivery. 

Her name is Natalie \n(a)-ta-lie\ is pronounced NAT-a-lee. Latin origin, and its meaning is "birthday". Refers to the birthday of Christ, or Christmas.
