Raise This Child

I have formed this little child

you hold within your heart.

My mercy and My goodness

have been there from the start.

The face, the hands, the smile -

I shaped all that you see.

Take this gift I've given you

and raise this child for me.

My sister gave me a frame for Christmas for each of the kids with this poem on it and their pictures. Each time I read it, I get chills thinking about the fact that these are His children and that the Lord chose me, above all women, to be their Mama and to raise them in His name.

What an honor!!!
