Watching Over My Children

I have a fair amount of resources that I use for training and encouragement for my staff. I was looking through one of the books this morning and found this prayer. It follows:

Heavenly Father,

How great and mysterious are Your ways! You ask us to trust You with that which we love most. How did Moses' mother do it? How did she let her baby go, knowing so many things could go so wrong?
The dangers my children face today are very different, Lord, and yet just as real. Drugs, strangers, household accidents, gangs--even bad baby-sitters!
Thank you that even when my children are out of sight, they are never out of Your sight. Please watch over them in all they do and through every encounter they have with the world.
Thank you that I can surrender my child and place him in the dangerous river of life, knowing that You will be watching over him, not far off but from very nearby.

Amen.


I am so thankful to God for loving and protecting Riley and Owen. He loves them so much.

Here is the principal joke for the day: Why do chicken coops have two doors?
Answer: Because if they had four doors, they'd be chicken sedans.

Have a great day.
