Baby shower is the party of gift giving. It celebrates the delivery or expected birth of a child or the transformation of a woman into a mother.
The bible reminds us often how precious children are to the heart of God, and when we celebrates the arrival of new little one, we are sharing His love in a special way.
The joy of an expectant mother is nothing to be compared to. It is always this anxious feeling of finally becoming a mother, and that sight of beholding their child in their hands is a bliss than can’t be explained.
Hence, do you not see it as a great pleasure to have been called upon to give the opening prayer at this great occasion? Here are some beautiful opening prayers for baby shower that can be used to bless the baby and mother.
