Dear Lord Jesus,
I thank you for the gift of motherhood and especially for all the moments that you have given me through the little events that make up each day, to offer so many small sacrifices for the sake of my children. Help me to see the offerings of my time and effort as lovely roses that make up a beautiful bouquet at day’s end. Help me to endure the painful prick of the thorns that sometimes accompany the gift of my roses . . . help me to offer this bouquet for love of You and all that you have blessed me with today!
