I Am

I am your mother but I can't tell you how to have a great relationship with your father; but I can show you how my relationships are nurtured.

I am your wife but I can't tell you how to have a great relationship with your sons; but I can only suggest to choose love over anger.

I am your daughter but I can not tell you to cheer up when you can no longer do the things that you so enjoyed doing; but I can sit and laugh with you and cry with you.

I am your friend but I can't tell you how to be a good friend; but I can only show my loving friendship to you.

I am your sister but  I can not fix your heartaches and pains; but I can show you my love and say a prayer for you.

I am a child of the God of Abraham, the mighty One.  I put my trust in Him because He CAN do all things! But I can not choose for you to trust Him, however you can.
