Christmas

I pray that as they experience the wonder and excitement of Christmas, that they would know you are at the center of our celebrations, and spend time thinking about you and why you came as a baby. 

May the adults in their lives not stress the getting, but help them experience the joy of giving. 

Remembering

May I remember, as I look at my older child, the joy and amazement and wonder I felt when she was new.  The overwhelming love.  May I choose to be amazed by her again, and to love her that fully and unconditionally.

Joy and Wonder

I pray for my child joy and wonder in each moment.  May she live not solely in anticipation of what's coming, but find something to appreciate and enjoy in the present every day.
