You have given me in the person of my little princess whom I mentor nearly every week during the school year. Lord, I cannot thank you enough. You know that I began this shortly after my husband died to help me get out at least once a week, to have some purpose to my life.
Instead, meeting with her each week has not only brought me so much love but also the chance to see this little girl grow up. The love is definitely reciprocated. A couple weeks ago she said "I wish every day was Wednesday!" God, I am so thankful that she looks forward to our visits as much as I do. She knows she is loved.
We talk about our desire that I get to see her become a teenager, maybe to see her graduate? She knows I am old and won't be there for her forever.
Today I am going to remind myself to let her know that love doesn't die! Even when I'm not here I will still love her and will be in her heart as long as she remembers me.
So this morning, God, I wan't to thank you for this little girl in my life. For keeping her safe through the awful accident last year. For helping me be a positive part of her life!
There is no depth to my gratitude.
AMEN
