A mother's prayer

May you always be
a strong arm to the weak;
and may you always be
a comfort to the crying;
a smile to the lonely,
a blessing to the grieving;
and may you always be
a haven for the anxious.

May your life be full of Jesus
and His love;
may you be God-driven by the
Father and the Spirit;
and may you be His hands
and smile
and be His arms of comfort.
And may you always be
His blessing to the world.
Amen.
