Dear God
thank You
thank You for the
troublesome bundle of joy
thank you for the midnight calls
the need for a ride home
the bad grades and the smart mouth
thank You for the
grief I get every single day
thank You for
the times I worry when he is late
and he comes sauntering in
totally unaware that I worried
thank You for
his self absorption
thank You for
each time I want to throttle him
because every time
one of these things happen
it means he is alive
and well
and learning about life
so thank You God
tomorrow I will comment on
how we can make him
a better man

A really great prayer. Makes me remember when my kids were going through their teenage years. Also makes me remember the really tough times. Thanks for sharing.
