June 26 - Morgan is 17

Today marks the 17th anniversary of the day Todd and I became parents. Yes, Morgan is 17 years old already.

There is nothing in the world that can compare to the day a woman becomes a mother for the first time. It is an emotional high, filled with excitement and fear. The day we left the hospital and drove away with our new baby. We looked at each other and said, “ Wow, they let us leave with her! What do we do now?” There have been plenty days that we have asked ourselves as parents, “What do we do now?” The most important thing that we have learned we can do for our children is to pray for them daily.

Parents prayer
Lord you have given me these children to watch over and care for.
Grant them your safety and your protection against all the schemes and temptations of the devil.
Grant them the wisdom to get through life.
Grant them the security of knowing that they rest firmly in your grasp.
Thank you for giving me these children.
All these things I pray in your name Amen.
