Last weekend I attended a lovely baby shower for a friend of our oldest daughter.  DD#1 could not attend as she was off on the other side of Texas at Regional One Act Play competition, so I ventured out to enjoy a little time with other ladies.  I have not done this often since I was diagnosed with MS because all of the movement and activity around me causes my head to spin.  But, I felt it necessary – and I actually wanted to go!

As we were leaving, the grandma-to-be handed out these precious gift bags to all of the attendees:

Inside each bag was a miniature cloth diaper, a few mint candies and a candle with a special prayer on it:

The prayer reads:

Here’s a candle for you to light,
Once the stork has made his flight.
With the flicker of the flame,
Say a prayer in baby’s name.

How precious!  And what a lovely sentiment as a send-off to those who came to gift the baby and mom-to-be with baby items for her upcoming bundle of joy!
