"A Mother's Prayer"
Before you close your eyes to sleep
I have a promise still to keep
As I hold you in my arms
I pray your little frame grows strong
And that faith takes hope while you are young
This is my prayer for you
Hold my hand, I'll teach you the way to go
Through the joys, through the tears
The journey of these years
May you trust Him till the end
May you trust Him in the end
This world is not as it should be
But the Savior opens eyes to see
All that's beautiful and true
Oh may His light fill all you are
And the jewel of wisdom crown your heart
This is my prayer for you
Hold my hand, I'll teach you the way to go
Through the joys, through the tears
The journey of these years
He is with us till the end
He is faithful till the end
You'll travel where my arms won't reach
As the road will rise and lead your feet
On a journey of your own
May my mistakes not hinder you
But His grace remain and guide you through
This is my prayer for you
Take His hand and go where He calls you to
And whatever comes, seek Him
With all your heart
This will be my prayer for you
Father hear my ceaseless prayer
Oh keep her in your care
I have a promise still to keep
As I hold you in my arms
I pray your little frame grows strong
And that faith takes hope while you are young
This is my prayer for you
Hold my hand, I'll teach you the way to go
Through the joys, through the tears
The journey of these years
May you trust Him till the end
May you trust Him in the end
This world is not as it should be
But the Savior opens eyes to see
All that's beautiful and true
Oh may His light fill all you are
And the jewel of wisdom crown your heart
This is my prayer for you
Hold my hand, I'll teach you the way to go
Through the joys, through the tears
The journey of these years
He is with us till the end
He is faithful till the end
You'll travel where my arms won't reach
As the road will rise and lead your feet
On a journey of your own
May my mistakes not hinder you
But His grace remain and guide you through
This is my prayer for you
Take His hand and go where He calls you to
And whatever comes, seek Him
With all your heart
This will be my prayer for you
Father hear my ceaseless prayer
Oh keep her in your care

Resistant to Change
Change, transitions, new things, etc. are always very difficult for John Caden. Here's how he responded when he discovered that I had removed the winter blanket from his bed:
He stripped his bed down to the mattress pad, crawled under his bed, and went to sleep.

Happy 2nd Birthday, Hudson!
His birthday treat--a "pup cup" of frozen custard from LoriBell's!
He licked his cup clean!

The End of an Era
After being with us for three years, our beloved vocabulary teacher, "Squawker," announced this week that he had taught Anna and John Caden all the words that he knew and that it was time for him to return to his home in the Amazon Rain Forrest.
Hugs were given and tears were shed. We're quite hopeful that he'll fly back up our way one day and make a surprise visit just to make sure we haven't forgotten what he taught us. ;)

More Thoughts from Ann Voskamp
~ “'Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.' And every milestone moment always forks and you get to choose which road you’ll go — bitter or blessed."
~ "Don’t grieve that it’s gone, wonder that it was."
~ "Laugh that you lived and dance that you dared."
~ "Inhale that it happened — and it was grace."
