Wow

that didn't last very long.

and

let's not forget about Megan. Please touch her heart, keep her safe, bring her to repentance. Help me give her to you.

Mothering

Thanks, God, for making me a mother. Please help me be the kind of mother that you want me to be. The kind of mother that your mother, Mary, is for you. I suppose being a better mother is a pretty good reason to get in shape - and an even better reason to STAY in shape!! It makes me mad and discouraged that I did all that work 2 years ago and then just let it all go down the drain... and now I'm fatter than before.

Yes, please make me a better mother. Amen.

Matt & Cassy

Hi God,

Matt & Cassy are pregnant. I still can hardly believe it. At least we are able to tell people about it now!! I still sometimes want to have my own baby but, really, I just need to be thankful for what I do have...

So, for Matt & Cassy. Keep them close to you, please. Help them turn toward each other all the time, but especially when things get rough. Give them a deep and abiding respect for each other and for the life they have created with you. Let them enjoy each others' company and be able to spend plenty of time together. Make their marriage a true bond that always brings them into your love and shares that love with the world.

I love you God, Amen!

Better

Thanks God

I feel better about the Megan situation already. Here's another prayer for her. Bring her close to you. Lift her up to you. Come down to her. Throw your arms around her. Woo her. Amaze her. Astound her. Entice her. Whisper to her. Tickle her. Kiss her. Enfold her. Never let her go.

Thanks again, God. I love you.

Megan

Hi God,

I know you know all about Megan. I forgot that for a while. And I know you want what's best for her even more than I do. And I forgot that for a while too. I want her to be happy, but more than that I want her to be holy. Please God, help her be holy. And help me be holy too.
