Birth of a Baby

Dear Lord, We give thanks for the surprise that is this child ______,
One day in his mother’s body and out in your world the next.
We give thanks for every first: open eyes, loud cry, suckle,
recognition, crawl, step, word, prayer and everything in between.
Give his parents the strength, stamina, love, and joy to do
well by him until he become his own person. Grant this child’s
parents the gift of patience in times of fatigue and let them never
forget to take time for each other to kindle again the love they share.
And finally we ask that the generosity of your spirit be so much
a part of this family’s life that they may be for this child your arms,
your heart, and your love.
