Mother's Prayer

How special to take the thoughts and concerns

of my own grown-up babies to my Father,

to whom I call Parent, Daddy, my Maker;

concerns for my sons You placed in my arms so long ago

 while I was a child myself. 

Forever grateful for the Gift of these babies

who have never stopped filling my heart,

birthed to me by Your design. 

What a wonderful inspiring prize they have been

as I watch them grow,

even to becoming grandparents themselves,

and how it has better developed my own knowledge of

Love from above. 

My oldest child holds keys

to the smiles of those he works around,

in constant servitude which brings such delight

as he views their pride of his work,

so happy to give. 

Always with the attitude of how

Good You are to him. 

Such a grateful heart.

My middle child giving me adopted children

 and enlarging my love strings

to be tied to the gracious world of

beyond children from my own womb.

His gigantic heart sees right from wrong,

peace verses stress,

and truly operates as the middle man

between so many situations

to bring balance and peace to hearts. 

I watch those who know him

see a unique tenderness as he calls upon God

for his life and family. 

My youngest a strong warrior

standing as a tower

for his children given to him as treasures,

like I do. 

Moving in the Life given him

with little ones in constant mind.  

Power of a strong man

but the heart of a soft daddy. 

His direction solid with eyes of steel.

Three boys Given to me

as a continuance of my own life! 

Your choices for me

as each of my boys have such Special Assignments

from Your above intelligent Foresight

and matchless Love. 

Oh the miracles I see as an overwhelmed receiver

of their love

from such miraculously enjoyable treasures;

treasures placed with me. 

Why me? 

These sort of splendid favors

are hard to understand

how I was granted such inheritance. 

I read yesterday how

Mary, Jesus’ mother,

was so surprised

when an angel by Your Request

 came to her

to tell her she would bare a Son. 

 How excited she was

as well as concerned

for her role in this amazing event.

  She pondered this call

as she accepted

Your Pleasure be done within her

and no doubt watched

it play out in her life

with eyes of love

and devotion to her Given son. 

I understand her great excitement

as I too find such joy in the Gift of sons. 

How I relate when Mary felt

such loss

and worry

when Jesus remained in the temple

while her and Joseph returned home

after traveling to Jerusalem

for the Feast of Passover

and could not find their son, Jesus,

in their party

for He had stay back

to speak with the temple scholars

to both ask questions and give His own Answers. 

When they finally found Him,

He was so at ease to tell His mother

that He was about His Father’s business. 

Oh Father, Daddy to my given and myself;

I find myself in this state of loss and worry

over my three treasures

and know only to come to You with these concerns

and run in search as Mary did. 

And when I do run to find them,

to find them at Your Temple as I do

puts my soul at ease.

For as I am put in remembrance

that they have

the dwelling of Your Sweet Spirit within them

and that Your Spirit

is greater than anything in this world,

I am put to ease of heart. 

My God

let the Mind of Christ be strong in their hearts

as You Dwell and Move them to the Knowledge of Your Love

 as they mature by walking out

Your Call within them. 

Stand them tall in Your Knowledge

and

Perfection of Your Love. 

As they stand

in the Temple of the Most High God,

Answer the curiosities

they hold of Your Kingdom

so they may declare

to the scholars of this world

Your Glory and Your Love’s Purpose. 

Carry out today and tomorrow’s Wisdom

over their own desires

as You so kindly did

when I ask

for things less than Your Greatness. 

Move the mountains

that tries to blind them from Your future

and the future of their children given

that far exceeds any desire

we might carry of our own flesh. 

Oh to hear they bring You Pleasure

as they have brought me. 

Thank You

for escorting me through the caring of such treasures. 

I know Your Eyes are in constant watch

and I see Your Favor upon them

as they grow in Your Wisdom

and find the favor of men

as their lives become closer and closer

lined up with Your Walk Designed for them. 

In humility I have this confidence

because

I cannot credit these treasures

as my work

but simply because

Your Work is/was/and forever will be

done through Christ who Dwells within us. 

Cause Your Love to be

Abundant in them,

just as Your Son’s work was accomplished

let my sons Work Through You

be done

with the Tremendous Power

of Jesus Blood

over their numbered days,

held Tight by the Sweet Holy Spirit.

I remain in Your Arms

and bring my children

in Jesus Christ’s Holy Name.
