A Mother's Prayer

Dear Lord, It's such a hectic day, With little time to stop and pray, For life's been anything but calm, Since You called me to be a Mom, Running errands, matching socks, Building dreams with matching blocks, Cooking, Cleaning, finding shoes, And other stuff that children lose, Fitting lids on bottled bugs, Wiping tears and giving hugs, A stack of last week's mail to read, So where's the quiet time I need? Yet, when I steal a moment, Lord, Just at the sink or ironing board, To ask the blessings of Your Grace, I see them all in my small one's face, That You have blessed me All the while..... And I stop to kiss that precious smile. Since the arrival of Marion Clare, it has been pretty hard to get my "quiet time" in. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE every second with her. We just work on her schedule. :) I found this poem and it gave me so much encouragement. It pretty much sums up my life. I am so BLESSED. I wouldn't change a thing. :)
