Dear God,

Forty seven years ago today you gave me the gift of my first child, a daughter.  The moment the nurse placed her in my arms, I kissed her and prayed a prayer for her.  I trusted you to give her life, love, purpose, hope, and blessing.  And you did.

Every day you bless someone through her.  Her love comes from a deep well.  Even before she goes to work in the morning she has already blessed her husband and children with the love she feels for them.  At school in the front office she blesses staff and children who come through the office.  Her smile and laughter are infectious.  When kids are sick or need special attention she gives them what they need.  Co-workers love her for the way she blesses them with her witty ways.  By day's end many have known her blessing.

Thank you
for Janice,
for filling her
with blessing
for others.
Thank you
for her kindness
and desire
to help others.
Thank you
for all
the gifts
she possesses
to share
with others.

Love, Andrea
