Dear Sweet Girl,
When I look into your eyes I see innocence,
wonder and beauty.
Stay that way my sweet one.
Stay pure in a world that will want
to lead you into darkness.
Stay full of wonder and in awe
of our miraculous God.
Stay hopeful and protect that beautiful heart of yours.
Keep your child like faith,
the kind of faith that I see alive in you right now.
The kind of faith that doesn’t shake
with doubt but stays
sheltered right under His wings.
Oh, how I love you,
you are such a precious gift.
God sure knew what He was doing when
He placed you into my arms.
He knew I needed you.
He knew we were meant for each other.
And it is so hard to imagine that anyone could
possibly love you more than I do,
but I know God does.
He loves you even more because He
knit you together just so.
He knows the parts of you that I, even as
your Mama, don’t know or understand.
He knows the feelings that you are
too scared to say.
He knows what your future holds,
every valley you will walk through
and every mountain you will climb.
He holds all of your days in the palm
of His hand.
And while I will hold your hand,
and walk with you for now, there will come a time where I will have to let go and you will go on out into the world on your own.
While you will never be far from my heart
or out of my prayers you will no longer be this little child I see now, so dependent on me.
And when that day comes I know there is a great God whose love is even deeper than mine could ever be and that He will be watching over you and loving you even better than I ever could.
He has given me a gift when He
let me have you to love
because it has also given me a
glimpse into how much He loves me.
Love,
Your Mama
