May We Never Forget The Words Of A Child

Father I am in awe of the way you work and the humbling spirit you place in us in times like these. Lord that you would place so much love in our hearts that the children we have been entrusted with will learn that this type of love can only come from you.
Lord that they see your glory in the face of adversity and that we fail them not but in fact build them up and may prayer and supplication be our guide.
That it is your face we seek when we become discouraged or overwhelmed. That you show us love through the eyes of a child and may we never forget the innocence in these children, all of them.
That we do not take for granted the opportunity set before us to draw closer to you. That we see family as what it is and unite as one for the greater good of our children. May we always remember the face of Benjamin and the tears that they weep-may we be reminded of how blessed we truly are.

When coming to you may we remember that your will is what we seek, not our timing or OUR way but that we know without a doubt that we are following the demands of the King of Kings.

That our prayers reach you and the answers come so boldly that to deny them could never be an option. Lord that doors will open where you will lead and allow us the honor to remain in your favor.

Allow us to speak with purity and compassion-allow us to become life changing through our example to Brayley, Jayden, Isaiah, Isabella, Anne Elise and Madison. That these 6 children who have been given to us by you know that they are loved beyond what we ourselves can offer-allow your spirit to lead. Let us fail them not Lord-fail them NOT!!
Let us teach them your way and not our own, allow them to realize that with each prayer they speak and we speak together that it is one more moment closer to you. Let us be their father and mother's that YOU designed us to be but let them know that no matter who we are to them YOU are so much more!

Let your love fill our home and may we never forget what we have in each other. Let the material things we strive for be replaced with the ability to love more than we ever have. Let us not be guarded Father-and humble us in spirit-"Satan comes to kill, steal and destroy, but Christ comes so that we may know life and live it more abundantly!" May we NEVER forget the words of a child!!!
