a birthday prayer


(Our friend Dave shared this prayer for a blanket I made for his daughter Eva. 
What a beautiful prayer as a way to reflect over the last 18 years with our girl. 

A father's prayer on his daughter's first day of life: 

Lord, can we possibly be ready for this?  We have strained and peered into the future, our hopes and anxieties a lit match, casting little light into the dark unknown.  

Now, as we turn our faces from the brilliant blaze of this babe, we are humbled by Your goodness and ashamed of the poverty of our imagination.  We have just met you, but we have known you forever.  May you know His goodness and mercy all the days of your life.
