Prayer

Heaven Sent

Part 6 of a Mother’s Day Series

It’s funny when I try to imagine what God might have said to my children before he sent them from Heaven to me.  (Yes, creative minds think silly things like this all the time. Please assure me I’m not the only one!)

God begins to explain, “Now, the thing about your mother is…ummm she’s a little bit out there sometimes and well…She will no doubt embarrass you from time to time. But, there are lessons that you need to learn from her that you wouldn’t learn from anyone else.  So, just trust me on this one, okay?”

Bethany complains, “But, I don’t have enough information yet. I just feel so unprepared.”

Jacob draws in a deep breath and whines, “Do I have to go?”

Isaac protests, “No, not happening! She seems a bit suspicious to me!”

Ailee tilts her head to the left, “Awe, okay! Does my mother have a dog or a cat or both?”

Moms, here’s to us!  We are a vital part of God’s Plan, whether they love, respect, enjoy, or listen to us at all!  Just kidding!  We know they really do…sometimes, when they need money. Special blessings prayed over those of you who have/had two or more in diapers at once!

Dear Mom,

You are my mother.
God paired you with me.
You are not perfect,
But you wanna be.

I am
Because you are.
Your Godly example,
Has led me this far.

You are stronger
Than you know,
Lifting my burdens,
When my heart is low.

You are more wise
Than you'll admit.
The advice you offer,
Always seems to fit.

You are funny, 
And often naive.
When I doubt myself,
You always believe.

The miles can't outrun
Your love for me,
On Earth or in Heaven,
Through all eternity!

Happy Mother's Day!

For thou has possessed my reins: thou has covered me in my mother’s womb.

Psalm 139:13
