Katelyn Mae is FOUR today
How blessed we are that
God sent her our way
September 12th, 2006
Not a drop of rain was in the weather mix
Drought was upon our land,
Rich soil turned to sand
On September 12th in a birthing room,
a little girl was born at almost noon.
With her delicate features, tears ran down my face
Out the window rain drops began to fall at tremendous pace.
God whispered a promise :
As rain refreshed the earth in drought
This child will refresh our lives, restore our souls
Sweet Katelyn Mae has fulfilled this without a doubt.
It is a curious thing to watch a child grow up.
From nursing and cooing
To snotty noses and ah ah chooing
Learning to crawl, to toddle a bit
I watch my four year old cartwheel and skip.
What glorious plans are in store
For our Katelyn Mae -even at four.
Is it possible to keep her at my knee
To tickle and giggle and curl her up next to me.
I know that one day she will be grown
A wife, children, a home of her own.
However, until that season
I will take the time to play, instruct and reason
Sing loudly, instruct gently and pray with out ceasing.
Lord, today on Katelyn's first day of four
Use me to introduce your Love like never before.
Prepare Katelyn's heart to make You her home.
Keep my feet home more often,
Let not these childhood moments be stolen or forgotten.
If and when the day gets dark
Let me remember the promise you brought
When Katelyn Mae was born
Restoration, refreshment,
Gentle words whisperd,
Her heart for reconciliation is not the norm.
Use her Lord as a lover of peace
May she impact all she meets with mercy
Even if it's in Greece!
Use her to fulfill your promise of refreshment
For the plans for Katelyn Mae are heaven sent.
Happy Birthday Kitten Kat Katie!
