Little Plant
May the Lord in wondrous mercy,
Cause your 'little plant' to grow,
With the 'lillies' of his raising
Where His own pure waters flow.
As a 'little plant' before Him,
May the tender sapling shoot,
And in His appointed season,
Bear the Lord enduring fruit.
Train them by the Holy precepts,
With a dresser's tender care;
Looking to the Lord for guidance,
He is true; and answers prayer.
Watch the 'little shoots' of nature,
And in pruning careful be,
For the knife unwisely wielded,
Often spoils the finest tree.
Prayer will keep the 'weeds' from
gaining
Strength in your domestic soil.
Prayer will help you in attaining
Those fond hopes that none can foil.
Prayer will keep the 'little foxes';
O how watchful you should be!
For they often do such damage
To the little 'growing tree.'
May our gracious God in mercy,
Early save the little one;
And to the dear praying parents,
Wisdom give through His dear Son.

That was fun! What a neat family. They came to Regina conference once and stayed with us when they had Teddy all the way down to Kylie. So I feel like I have met at least a few of the members on that list!
Too long to read – Can you summarize it?
Because you’re planning on regularly visiting the hospital for the next 20 years? Or until they run out of babies?
I’ve enjoyed that story a few times before. Thank you for linking to it. “…and she never says otherwise.”
‘hope you’re feeling better soon.
