Dear God, Bless All Mothers...
Dear God, Bless All Mothers...
In this intense nine months, when mothers-to-be are realizing that their life is about to change forever, bless them God, because they feel alternately elated and alarmed. Help each mother-in-waiting to understand that she has been carefully chosen, by both you and by her baby, to guide it through its early years on planet Earth. Let her know that she will never be alone in the process. Help her to remember that her baby is your own perfect creation, just as she, herself, is your own perfect creation. Thank you God, for making each of your creations uniquely perfect in its own way. Amen. - Lauren McLaughlin Prayer by Lauren McLaughlin is from "Honoring Motherhood: Prayers, Ceremonies & Blessings " - Edited with Introductions by Lynn L. Caruso. (c) 2008.
