Last Sunday was a such a sweet day for us as we had Carson dedicated at church. We have been so blessed by The Church of the Highlands over the past year and can't wait to be able to let Carson experience the incredible children's ministry there.

This is a song that I found during my pregnancy that brought me to tears each time I heard it. I played it for Carson along with a few other songs mostly at night when I laid down. I loved feeling his kicks and punches and often these would come when I played him music. Now that he is here the song is so real to me... and especially on days like this. The lyrics are an amazing prayer that I pray over him at night and are a great reminder to the truth that as Carson rests in God's care, we will rest too; knowing that Jesus is watching over him all the days of his life! The song is called A Mother's Prayer by Rachel Aldous. Look it up on ITunes and get your tissues ready!
A Mother's Prayer
by Rachel Aldous
My sweet baby on loan from above.
No better treasure could I more love.
I stand here beside your bed as I pray
I lay my hand on your head and I say:
May you grow up to serve Him
all of your days.
May He lead you and guide you
in all of your ways.
May His hand bless your future with
friendships that last.
May you cherish your youth
and not grow up too fast
I stare in wonder at your tiny frame.
Just to think that God knows you by name.
He knows every hair on your beautiful head.
He knows your thoughts before they are said.
May you grow up to serve Him
all of your days
May He lead you and guide you
in all of your ways.
May His Hand bless your future with
friendships that last.
May you cherish your youth
and not grow up too fast.
