MONDAY GRATEFUL POST

  Good Morning Everyone,

Hope everyone had a good weekend.   Mine was NOT good.  My 25 yr. old son met his birth Mom yesterday and it turned out really bad.   I was devastated for my son.   I love him with all my heart and to see him hurt so much from what he saw and heard from that woman....UGH I can't grasp it.   I wish I had just drove off when we saw her....but I didn't.    Needless to say.....I seriously doubt she will ever lay eyes on him again.    I was up most of the night dealing with my son's anger.   Please pray for him if you would.    I am sorry to be dumping this on ya'll.   I am usually so upbeat.   I am grateful to God though that this woman chose to give him up for adoption 25 yrs. ago.    I pray that he will look hard at her and see what her life choices have given her and he doesn't want to end up as she is.    SORRY everyone.    I am Grateful today for life, health, my WLS, my family and friends.    Grateful that God gives us second chances.....grateful for my 3 sons ( 2 are adopted ).   Grateful for being a MOM !!!   Please share with us what you are grateful for today.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

I am grateful that I read your post.  As a Mom we hurt so deeply when our children hurt.  I know that I always wish that I could take the pain for them.  I feel confident though that something positive will come out of your sons experience.  It may be hard to believe it today, but in time you will see it.  I will add you and your son to my prayer list.  I am grateful for my son that is 22 and for my daughter that is 18.  I am thankful that I have a fine husband of 30 years.  I am grateful for the struggles that I have had in my life for with God beside me and good friends these struggles helped to make me stronger in my faith.  Please continue to write your grateful post.  Even though u thought your post was off topic today it touched my heart and just one heart is all that it takes.  Please let me know how it work out with your son.  Thank you.

 Lena.....I want to thank you for your very kind words.   Trust me.....God is beside me every step of the way everyday also.    This has been such a extremely difficult time in my life....seeing my son lash out in anger and he even pushed me away sunday night.    I know he didn't mean it.   When he was in middle school he use to get into fights all the time due to the kids calling me fat.    I finally told him I WAS fat.    It was OK.....I didn't want him fighting due to some kids being stupid.   My son is a precious gift from God and I will stand beside him no matter what.    We are currently seeking counseling for him.    I know that God is in control and he will heal all his hurts with time.    Yesterday was not good but I am claiming today to be a good day  for my family.    Thank you for the prayers and if you would please continue to pray for me and my family.   I am a VERY STRONG person but I am about at my breaking point.    Have a blessed day !!
