Short Prayer

Today is one of those paradoxical days in the life of a family: school picture day.

The Princess, I'm sure, can't stand having to sit still until they get a useable shot.  Thank goodness for instantaneous digital displays; otherwise, I'd dread this day, too.

I can't wait to see what the final shot looks like.  She is going to school today in an adorable one-of-a-kind outfit made especially for her by her Gumma. 

That being said, I'm sending up this short prayer:

Thank you, Lord, for The Princess: everything she is and everything she isn't, everything she does and everything she doesn't.  Thank you for her teachers, aides and therapists.  Bless them, keep them, make your light shine down upon them...for they are the poor souls who will need to entertain her and keep her from melting down today.  Oh, and if you could keep The Princess from getting any grass stains or rips in her white tights until after pictures today, that'd be great.

Amen.
