Postcard with a poem to encourage parents - perfect for Mothering Sunday or at any time.

Parents sometimes feel like they need to have it all together, or look like they have it all together when the reality is that it can be quite a struggle and you often don't get much gratitude or feedback. God probably feels like that with us as our heavenly parent most of the time.

This card can be ordered as a hard copy or downloaded through the form to print and distribute. 

This poem has been shared in churches on Mothering Sunday and read out at a European conference for Moms in Prayer.

My Child:

Your children do not see you are the ground beneath their feet.
Their window on the world, they look through you to those they meet.
They notice your provision only when it might fall short,
And thrash out all their feelings without giving yours a thought.

 But underneath their feet is where you catch them when they fall,
They see life with their minds framed by your worldview on it all.
They carry something with them of your forethought every hour,
And your secure embrace is what they need to grow and flower.

 'My Child, let my Divine love be the rock on which you stand,
Your needs are met through all that was created by My hand.
There's nothing you can say or do to lessen My embrace.
The love you bear your children is an echo of My grace.

 So be their rock and comfort, be their guide and compass too,
And lead them daily in My love, and you will point them true.'
