A Mother's Prayer

This is the prayer my mother prepared for our family shower last week. Alas, she forgot to bring it, but it is too lovely to leave be.


Dear Heavenly Father,

Today we come to you with thanksgiving for all the ways you have led our families

  • for the blessings of children

  • for the gift of faith to believe in You and your ways

  • for love which flows from person to person and family to family

  • for hope for Your future goodness to us all, but especially to Jamie and Suzanne as they wait for their family: Andy and Juliana.


Be with all those who affect these children's release and travels. Bring them safely here, that we may all -- with one heart and voice -- praise You for Your care, protection and wisdom in letting them be Family with us.

In the name of Jesus our Savior and Lord

What a beautiful prayer from your mother! Thanks it is encouraging. We are 'new to the adoption world' - just about to jump in for two girls from Russia. Until we are further along and get blogging, thanks for sharing and showing your courage! MMT
