A Mother's Prayer

First of all, Happy Mother's Day to all my "blogging buddies". Here are some images for the day.

No matter how old your "babies" are, today is a day to remember...

















All God's creatures...



God Bless all of you...today and everyday!

"Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward."
-Psalm 127:3 {KJV}

AMEN!





I miss my "baby", but am very proud of the woman she has become! I love her and all my other "daughters" very much!





This song is called, "A Mother's Prayer" by Celine Dion. I cry everytime I hear it! I know all mothers can relate, whether you have a daughter, a son or many of each! (I know my Mother prayed the same for me. She "entered her rest" 30 years ago next month. I still miss you, Mommy...)
