Being a Parent

Today some friends of ours is having a baby. It just got me thinking how lucky we are to have kids and how I felt the day they were both born. I started going through their baby books and I found this prayer that someone gave to me when Laynie was born and I thought I would share it. The Parent's Prayer
Dear God,
Thank you for my little one,
I know we will have lots of fun.
Help me to be firm and wise
and see things through my child's eyes.
Give me courage and patience too
so I'll know the right things to do.
Please show me what I need to know
so I can help my child grow.
Thank you for this life you've shared
trusting me to take great care.
Help me please to always see
the blessing you have given me!

Here is to all the parents out there. God made us very lucky people to get a chance to love our children and watch them grow up
