I’ve been slacking on my Sunday Prayer lately, but this week I’ve got a prayer that was sent to me from my cousins.  It was a prayer they sent over for mother’s day, and I meant to post it up last week, but weekends lately have been somewhat crazy.

What made me really want to share this post is that my cousins recently lost their mother, so this was their first mother’s day with out their mom and their father (who also passed away years ago).

I am thankful that they thought of me during this mother’s day, even though I know that it was a day that they would be hurting much.  I’m very glad to have cousins like this in my life.

I hope that you enjoy the prayer as much as I did.

A Mother’s Day Prayer

I [we] thank you, Creator of us all, from my [our] mother[s].

I thank you that she gave me life and nurtured me all those years.

She gave me my faith, helping me to know you and to know Jesus and his ways.

She taught me how to love and how to sacrifice for others.

She taught me that it was okay tor cry and that I should always tell the truth.

Bless her with the graces she needs and which you want to give her today.

Help her to feel precious in your eyes today and to know taht I love her.

Give her strength and courage, compassion and peace.

Bless her this day with your love.

Amen.
