Faith, Hope, and Love: Cara's Song

Sweet Cara,

I started to write out a long post about all the ways that you have blessed us this last year. I started to share specific ways you’d taught us about Faith, Hope, and Love. Then, I realized I’d already done that.

 

Happy Birthday, brave girl! You are loved!

-Mama

Cara’s Song

When it seemed our strength was running out,

You were God’s gracious nudge of motivation.

When we had no plan for what was next,

You were God’s sovereign gift of His direction.

                Oh, Little Love, you shine so bright

                For our Hope is in the Lord, we know –

                He’ll never leave, we’re not alone –

                Your every moment He will hold –

                This is the truth your life song will show.

We didn’t even know how much we needed you.

But in you, God has gifted us with peace.

We know God’s love and grace when you just smile at us.

You draw out the best in everyone you meet.

You give your Daddy strength and heart to carry on,

No matter what this life throws in his way.

You are Mama’s blessing of a Song of Hope,

That God’s faithful promises are new each day.
