I said a Mother’s Day prayer for you to thank the Lord above for blessing me with a lifetime of your tender-hearted love.
I thanked God for the caring you’ve shown me through the years, for the closeness we’ve enjoyed in time of laughter and of tears.
So, I thank you from the heart for all you’ve done for me, and I bless the Lord for giving me the best mother there could be! Amen.
(Mother’s Day Prayer)
