Me: A day spent with the children.

Prodigal: Yes, and it is great!

This is from the book How Can I Find You, God? by Marjorie Holmes

Dear God, whenever a child comes to me with questions, help me to find the answers; speak through me, don’t let me falter and fail him. And when a child begs, “Come with me!” let me go. And when a child says to me, “It’s so wonderful–I’ve found God!” don’t let me be indifferent or superior or amused; let me rejoice with him, let me share the wonder….And don’t let me call on you only in times of desperate need.

Keep close to me always as I try to raise my children. Be real to me, be real to them. Be a part of my life, and of theirs.

Psalms 30:11-12

You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
