The Lord's Prayer

Our Father, which art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done,
in earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive them that trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
[For thine is the kingdom,
the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever.]
Amen.

Missing Mom

Hey mom, as another mother's day roles around i can't help but miss you. I remember all those other mother's day when i woke you up early with a terrible breakfast, glue covered cards and flowers which were weeds-ha ha, but you were a gracious mom and hugged and kissed me and i knew i made you smile- Now, after so many years of infertility God has given me a precious daughter and you are not here to know her-that breaks my heart! I want you to know I am doing the best I can and Victoria is a happy, healthy and glue covered kid like i was- Thank you for teaching me about what it means to be a mom in a Christ centered family-You were the best mom and if I can be half as good as you, Victoria will grow to trust God and make her mommy terrible breakfasts in bed too, on the day we celebrate and honour moms! This year marks 14 years where I have been motherless, but I know you are with Jesus, so you and I are never alone. Thank you for teaching me how to live well even though you are not here and my prayer is that Victoria will learn from me all the important loving things that she will need to grow to be a Godly mom too that I learned from you. Happy Mother's Day to all!
