This Day 20 years ago, God Trusted me with My Son!
As my Son Nicholas celebrates his 20th birthday, I was taken to another moment of reflection. Usually we all get caught up in what gifts to give or receive, but I couldn't help but to think about when the Dr. handed me my baby boy! Time really does go by way to fast, because I really have to recall the many first of his journey. His first tooth, his first steps, going to pre-school, his first flag football game and now he is Young Man in his second year of college and standing at the adult cross road! Nicholas in his High School days was one of my Angels. Ou family was the caregivers for my Mom & His Ahba. He would insist that I go out to TJ Maxx just to get out the house after he came in from school and a long football practice He would call me and tell me he gave Ahba her Oakmeal and given her, her nightly medicine! As I travel along this journey backover my life and put lifes events on my timeline, I get over whelmed how blessed I am even in the face of adversity! Being a Mother and Wife is my most improtant job and I know God directs my path in all directions. My bigggest birthday gift to my son, is keeping him in daily prayer that he Trust in the Lord with all His Might! My Mothers favorite prayer that we learned during her passing, As parents we try to pass on the Wisdom that our parents gave to us. We didin't appreciate their teachings untill we were old enough to get it or even better, became parents ourselves! As this day comes to a close and I remember the young 30 year old I was becoming a Mom for the second time, I am so Thankful that God has trusted me to be the parents of two most incrediable young people who I expect to do great things. It started with two young people in Love and from that Love came Nicholas & Nataly!
