A Sunday Moment


Thank you, Lord, for this precious hand.
So tiny, so innocent...
A hand that now rocks her dolly,
but may someday embrace her new born babe.
A hand that I now hold, but someday will be holding mine.

Lord, please take the hands of my beloved daughter and use them for Your glory.
Grow them, develop them, protect them, and steer them from evil.

I symbolically raise my hand as a blessing on her...she is yours!

(This was one of my favorite Disney moments. She glimpsed Cinderella in the distance during the parade, and the world stopped...just for her...
the princess was waving...only at her.
And my daughter's eyes were fixed... only on one.
)

May I fix my eyes on the One with the same passion and intensity as my little girl.

Beautiful! What a great spiritual lesson. I pray that as she grows up she will find Jesus amid life's parade and only have eyes for Him.
