| Prayer for a Single Parent I am a single parent, Lord, and I need Your help today. May I have the strength to do all that needs doing, understand all that needs understanding, and give all that needs giving. May I have extra patience when mine starts to wear a little thin, and sense of humor to get me through and help me keep things in perspective. May I have the time I need to make us a happy loving family...and be as good a parent as I know how to be. May I have knowledge to realize I can't do everything alone and the humility to ask for help when it's needed, and to accept it with grace when its offered. May I have the love to give my all...the wisdom to enjoy the many gifts I've been given...and the Faith to know I'm never truly alone, Lord, as long as You're here guiding me...and watching over my precious family. Amen I'm Special... In all the world there's nobody like me. Nobody has my smile. Nobody has my eyes, nose, hair or voice. I'm special... No one laughs like me or cries like me. No one sees things just as I do. No one reacts just as I would react. I'm special... I'm the only ojne in all creation who has my set of abilities. My unique combination of gifts, talents, and abilities are an original symphony. I'm special... I'm rare. And in all rarity there is great value. I need not imitate others. I will accept - yes, celebrate - my differences. I'm special... And I'm beginning to see that God made me special for a very special purpose. He has a job for me that no one else can do as well as I do. Out of all the applicants only one is qualified. That is me. Because ... I'm special! Always Say A Prayer (ASAP) There's workto do, Deadlines to meet, You've got no time to spare, but as you hurry and scurry, Always say a prayer. In the midst of family chaos, "quality time" is rare. Do your best; let God do the rest, Always say a prayer. It may seem like your worries are more than you can bear. Slow down and take a breather. Always say a prayer. God knows how stressful life is, He wants to ease our cares, and He'll respond ASAP. Always say a prayer. Today is the very first day of the rest of my life This is the beginning of a new day. I have been given this day to use as I WILL. I can waste it...or use it for good, but what I do today is important, because I am exchanging a day of my life for it! When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever, leaving in its place something that I have traded for it. I want it to be gain, and not loss; good and not evil; success, and not failure; in order that I shall not regret the price that I have paid for it. I will try just for today, for you never fail until you stop trying. |
