WRITTEN 11-7-2010 BUT NOT POSTED TIL TODAY 11-14-2010 (Busy week!)
I had an incredible weekend as a Mother and it made me feel some wholeness again, maybe even assurance that all I/we as a broken family of divorce went through was finally beginning to show some positives. The whole weekend was with my sons. I treasured the one-on-one with my youngest and his sincerity and wonder of life melted me. I also enjoyed so much the grin on his face when beating me in a card game! It was my middle son's 15th birthday and I have watched with pride his maturity and growth into a young man these past two difficult years. On our return home, he drove the entire 90-mile trip with ease and responsibility and I had to think praise for I am the one that helped him reach this milestone. There was nothing but joy in visiting my oldest at college over the weekend and seeing the success of him thriving in his new phase of life, yet deeply enjoying our family time together, and even his love for his girlfriend. Watching the brothers wrestle, tease one another, all of us happy and sharing, it was priceless. So before my head hit the pillow Sunday night, I wondered...has it begun? My return to wholeness? Are my sons the continued keys in this blessed life of mine? I end the night in prayer thanking God for my blessings and for all He has done to help me through the emptiness and for the beauty of the return to wholeness.
"I know well the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare, not for woe, plans to give you a future full of hope." Jeremiah 29:11
