FRIDAY GRATEFUL POST

 Good Friday Everyone,

I am kinda sad today.   Today I have to return my son back to Teen Challenge.    I keep telling myself...4 more months and he will have completed his year long program tthere.    Today I am SO grateful for programs such as Teen Challenge who offers hope to ALL addicts of all sorts.    Thank you God for all the changes in his life.....I know that YOU and you ALONE are the reason for these amazing changes.    For you who have not heard....my 26 yr. old son has battled heron addiction for the past 5 yrs and has been a drug addictt since he was about 12 or 13.   He entered into Teen Challenge last August and has now been clean for 8 months.    He has gained over 40 lbs since he went into the program and when he gets out he will have a wonderful future awaiting him.   SO today I am grateful for Teen Challenge.   PLEASE keep me in your prayers today as I drive for about 12 hours taking him back to SA and back home.    PLEASE share with us if you will what you are grateful for on this beautiful friday morning.    Have a blessed day !!

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Teen Challenge is a great program.  I had a good friend that went through the program!  I'll be praying for your and your family.  My 17 year old daughter suffers from depression and has been hospitalized three different time.  I don't know what you are exactly going through but I can sympathize.  Best of luck to you all. 

Today, I am thankful for the sunshine.  Normally, here in Wisconsin we still have snow on the ground in March but today its sunny and 75 and I enjoyed a nice walk over my lunch break!

 Good luck to you too.    Teen Challenge is totally amazing.    I am so grateful to them for the amazing changes in my son's life.   He is a TOTALLY different person due to their guidance.     I will pray for your daughter.    That is WAY too young to have depression problems.   Praying for God's healign in her life for the depressipn.     Enjoy your weekend.

praying for you and your family; we all have someone we love affected by drugs. I pray that God will keep you and your son in perfect peace.
be hurt but don't be sad because there is a brighter day ahead

 Jenny....I was only sad yesterday that he didn't get to spend longer at home.     I am OK....I know that he is where he needs to be and where God wants him to be.   Have a blessed weekend.
