Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart. Colossians 4:2

Psalm 127:3 - 3 Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him.

2 Corinthians 9:8-11 — Hear me, my God, as I voice my complaint; And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. As it is written: "They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor; their righteousness endures forever." Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.

I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
For I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior...

In shady green pastures, so rich and so sweet;
Where the water's cool flow bathes the weary one's feet,
God leads his dear children along.
Sometimes on the mountain where the sun shines so bright;
Sometimes in the valley; in the darkest of night!
Though sorrows befall us and Satan oppose,
Through grace we can conquer defeat all our foes!
God leads his dear children along.
Some through the waters,
Some through the flood,
Some through the fire,
But all through the blood!
Some through great sorrow, but God gives a song,
in the night season and all the day long!
— G.A.Young
