For you and your children:

MOTHER'S DAILY PRAYER
© Robert C Burnham

God, grant me this day to do as I should
To watch over my children as a good mother would
To keep them from harm and show them I care
To be there to comfort and to chase away fear
To teach them to play and to laugh right out loud
To teach them to stand tall under darkened clouds
To love them and hold them as only I can
To show them I am proud to be their mother and friend
To walk with them - to stop with them - smell the flowers so dear
To stand beside them, to guide them, to keep them forever near
To talk with them and to listen to what they have to say
To make them understand that my love will never stray

God, grant me this evening to do what is right
To kneel with my children as I bid them goodnight
To show them my love is still there while they sleep
To tell them about you and that we're all yours to keep
To answer their questions most honest and true
To give them the knowledge that will see them through
To provide one final hug as they lay down to sleep
To remain strong in their eyes so they need not weep
To kiss their soft faces and to sing them a song
To leave them no doubt that with me they belong
To count each one a blessing when the day is done
I guess what I am praying is to let me be their Mom

If you ever come back and start posting, I want to be your friend. I've read some and like what I'm reading.

Congrats on your Kudzu article, Joy. I hope you are continuing with writing for them and that you are getting paid!!

Thanks for wanting to be my friend in Christ!

Joy I know where there's going to be a baby girl put up for adoption in NYC. It's due July 17..If interested email me It's a white baby and the Judge we went through for our kids adoption said he would let us adopt all the kids we wanted because Johns a pediatric Dr. Let me know and we'll see about it for you.

Joy the children are all ok exceptp for Lakelyn. Unless God intervienes she is terminal. Shes had the 4t brain surgery, the heart,kidney and lung transplant but she's also had strokes. She's quad parpaplelgic now. We lost one of our kids we were going to adopt. She jumped from a window and died from brain injury. Johns neice passed and left a 7 yr old girl and a one year old girl so naturely we have them. His Sister had adopted a baby who was a Sister to Lakelyn . She died from a blood clot about two months ago and had us named as the God Parents. So now we have a 15 month old son and a nine month old Daughter.Our adoption court is at 4;00 pm today and this will be final. Thank God..It's been a slow process but now it's a much less thing to worry about.. (((Hugs)))))

Just stopping by to let you know I was thinking about you. I sure hoe everything is ok, you and your family are in our prayers
