God Gave Me Life is an interactive poem about God's wisdom in pairing a child and its mother. God's wisdom is sometimes overlooked; but this book helps to remind you that your precious gift was not given to you by chance, your child was gifted to you intentionally through God's grace. Children are a gift from God and this book is intended to emphasize and honor God for His love and grace in blessing you with your gift. And to also give thanks to the loving mother that makes the sometimes-difficult decision to take the journey called motherhood. "Our blessings shared were meant to be, for God chose YOU to carry ME" explains that intention. "I am the gift God gave to you" is the premise for this keepsake, designed to stay with your precious child as a record of their many accomplishments. This book begins with their birth and lets you, or them, "check off" the list as they achieve their milestones while they journey through the years. The special bond between mother and child is not limited to just the birth mother; God's grace for mom and/or dad, whomever they may be, is no less precious. For this particular title, I focused on the birth mother and gave glory to God for that initial pairing.
