Dear Daughter

(I wrote the following for baby Madison in my pregnancy journal the other night... please don't copy or take)

Dear Daughter,

I can't promise everything will go your way in life,
But I can promise God has a way and it is the best way.

I can't promise everyone will treat you kindly,
But I can promise God will bless you for being kind to others.

I can't promise you earthly riches & materials,
But I can promise God is storing up heavenly treasures for you.

I can't promise you a long life,
But I can promise God will you eternal life if you surrender all.

I can't promise you that your family will never upset you,
But I can promise God will help you to forgive.

I can't promise you that I will be the best parent,
But I can promise God is always teaching me.

I can't promise you that you won't have trials & tribulations,
But I can promise God will give you strength to persevere.

And lastly, I can't promise that you'll always hold onto Jesus,
But I can promise He will always hold onto you.

Love,
Mom
