Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, I of course was thankful for all the things mentioned before--family, great friends, my relatively good health, my job, and of course my Savior!
I was blessed to go help out at the Dream Center that morning, have a wonderful Thanksgiving Dinner with family and then my son decided to stay the weekend instead of heading back to T-town like he'd originally planned.
We had watched a movie that evening and the girls had gone to spend the night with my sister to do some Black Friday shopping. He got up and left to go back and after I shut the door behind him, I went to the bathroom and cried.
Oh how I never get used to him leaving. It's still difficult to accept that he's a man and and all grown up and has other things to do besides hang out with mama.
But 20 minutes later, he was back at the door and had decided to stay! And no, it wasn't because I cried because he didn't see me! It was totally God's way of comforting a mama's heart. I made him breakfast the next day and he got my Christmas decorations down out of the attic for me. We didn't do much of anything but sit and talk and watch movies but it was still wonderful. And I am thankful!
