I wasn’t sure how yesterday was going to turn out but it was a day of laying down weapons. I prayed in the morning seeking God’s peace and He was gracious enough to give it.
During the day we looked through pictures from my sons childhood. My oldest son said he had a wonderful childhood. As a mother it is nice to hear that.
Then we had lunch and I heated up some barbecue from my friend, David. The barbecue received rave reviews. “This is amazing. This is perfect and this is good” were the statements made by my sons regarding the barbecue.
In the afternoon I had to drive my son to work and in the evening my other son and I watched a movie on the Blue ray player they gave me for my birthday.
Before the movie my son and I made peppernuts which are miniature spice cookies that is a recipe passed down from my ancestors.
All in all it was a pleasant day. I want to express gratitude to those readers who interceded in prayer for me.
I was getting to a point where I thought God may not be listening to my prayers anymore. It is good to know He is still there.
My son said another comment in the evening. He said he would always love me even if I continued with the lawsuit against his father.
I hope that is true because I know I will always love all of my children.
Oh Gracie, Its not easy being a mom or a dad. I don’t care how you slice it. dice it or chop it up, it ain’t easy. It is more than obvious that you have demonstrated with your actions and words over the years how to say you are sorry for some action or decision or whatever. I wasn’t there so I don’t know what happened, but your son must have come to you with at least a little bit of humility. Something he has witnessed from you in his youth.
If you haven’t already, I would highly recommend going to see “Frozen” during the Christmas Break. My daughter already has seen it twice, many of her friends have seen it 5 times, and she has already bought the soundtrack. A Disney musical, the best. If you saw Anchor Man with your son, DO NOT DO A REVIEW. P:lease.
Gracie, there is a word, and I don’t know what it is because it has not been spoken yet. That word describes what it is like when your children are not with you when they are still under your care and they are your number one focus in life. Its not anguish, or misery, or unpleasantness, or anger, or fear, it’s just not defined yet. So I know how you feel but there is just no word to describe it.
Good Night Gracie
Hi Gracie,
Told you. Before his head hit the pillow that night he wished he held back his words. He saw how he hurt you, he saw how you reacted calmly, he was convicted in his heart, and he apologized, and you graciously accepted his apology. Boom, in less than 24 hours all is well between you two again.
Teenage boys act and say things impulsively , without thinking. I know, I was one once. But we will always be our mom’s number one fans. Trust me on that one Gracie.
Yes, you are right and I said some wrong things also. So I need to ask his forgiveness of those things. We had another lovely day today spending time together by going to church and then out for lunch and a movie. He will be leaving tomorrow to fly back to Florida. I have already cried some now I will need to start praying. I miss my kids when they are not at home but I am thankful that my daughter is living with me now. I hope that I will be able to see my son more throughout the years. I miss having them in my home.
