Admittedly, I had a little bit of a weird "Mother's Day" a few weeks ago. Knowing that I am a mom to someone that I haven't got to meet yet. Knowing that somewhere in some orphanage in Peru a sweet little girl with big brown eyes waits for God to connect our path with hers. Almost simultaneously, I hear Martina McBride's song from some years back titled, " In my daughter's eyes. I have heard this song a million times but, being the mother of boys, it didn't phase me much. Now, I took the time to pay a little closer attention to the words and how absolutely beautiful and RELEVANT they are. To her, we must look like some sort of heroes, strong and wise, but in reality, this GIFT that God is about to give to US will give us even more reason to believe in what life is REALLY about!
In my daughter's eyes
I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes
Everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light
And the world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me
Gives me strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes
And when she wraps her hand around my finger
How it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about
Is hanging on when your heart has had enough
Is giving more when you feel like giving up
I've seen the light
In my daughter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes
I can see the future
A reflection of who I am
And what will be
And though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you'll see
How happy she made me
And I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes

Deut.32

Hab.2
[3] For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry
