Liam

A new life entered our world this week.
He made his debut on a cloudy afternoon
to young parents who welcomed his arrival.
Beautiful, healthy and awaited, he came
into our lives. 

Instantly, he was a son, brother,
nephew, cousin, grandson and
great grandson.
Grand roles for a newborn little boy!

What will he accomplish in his lifetime?
Will he be successful ? 
Will he be happy?

Great hopes accompany his arrival!
Hopes for a bright future          
and, prayers that God will mold and shape
him into a Godly man full of wisdom
and virtue. 

No matter what twists and turns lie ahead
for this new little one, I know
that he will be well-loved!
We are blessed that
our Father in Heaven
has entrusted us with this
new bundle of joy.

Thank you, God
for a healthy baby,
for taking care of
his mother during her pregnancy
and during the birthing process.
Please continue to watch over
their lives, and the lives of this family.
Help us to continue to follow You,
seeking your guidance along
our way through this life.
Forgive us of our sins
both of commission and omission.
In the name of Your Precious Son, Jesus!
Amen!
