A Mother's Prayer



My sweet baby on loan from above

no better treasure could I more love

I stand here beside your bed as I pray

I lay my hand on your head and I say:

May you grow up to serve Him

all of your days

May He lead you and guide you in all of your ways

May He bless your future with friendships that last

May you cherish your youth and not grow up too fast

I stare in wonder at your tiny frame

Just to think God knows you by name

He knows every hair on your head

He knows your thoughts before they are said

May God grant you peace in the midst of a storm

May God give you strength even when you’re forlorn

May you answer the door when Jesus comes knocking

May wisdom guide when your mouth is talkin’

May discretion protect you and keep you pure

May you never stumble or fall for a lure

May your heart remain humble to the very end

May uprightness and truth be what you defend

May the world not ensnare or change who you are

May the light that's within you shine like the stars

May angels surround you body, spirit, mind

May favor and peace be yours to find

May rejection and pain never reach you

May your spirit grow bold for what you’re called to

As you rest in God’s care I will rest too Knowing that Jesus is watching over you. Amen

Update on a few Things

Let's see. What's going on with us? June officially started Bill back to FO, which, honestly will be a very nice change of pace for our family. He will be gone 2 nights a week and home 5 nights a week. WOW! A real hubby huh? I can't wait. I in return have started working more. Liam is getting more and more independent and I really don't feel as guilty leaving him anymore. So, I am working 4 days a week with Wednesdays off. Jen and Brandon both start new jobs in June. If you want to find out more on that you can visit their blog. They are in San Fran right now celebrating. :) They both deserve it and we are all so happy for them. This oil spill in the Gulf makes me want to vomit every time I see it on the news or read about it on line. All the families and wild life that has been affected by this is sickening. I am so sad about it. I pray that god has a plan and will take care of it all. On a different note, we are planning a trip to New York in July and also hope to make it to St. Augustine to visit Bill's Dad and Deb later this month. Liam will be 20 months old in a couple of weeks. We are working on the potty training thing. It's been fun and he seems very willing to learn. It's so cute to see him doing new things. It's hard to beleive he's not a baby anymore. We have so much fun with him. He's such a happy boy and he picks up on things really fast. We are so lucky to be his parents. I hope one day he knows how proud we are of him and how lucky we feel that he is ours!

Some pics of the poor pelicans that are stained with oil. I could cry. Seriously, my heart is breaking over this oil spill.
