I will start today off by saying that I personally have so very much in my life to be grateful for. Today I am grateful for the decision that my 25 yr. old son has made for his life. Lets just say that in the past he hasn't made good decisions at all....in fact he has just bombed on them. But today his life is taking a about face and going the other direction. Thank God for that. Please if you believe in prayer...keep him in your thoughts and prayers as he beings a year long journey on changing his life. Thank you for doing this for me and him. We ALL have so much to be grateful for in our lives....no matter how large or how small they may be. Waking up today and seeing whatever we saw when we opened our eyes is something to be grateful for....after all...there are people in this world who will never see anything. PLEASE share with us what you are grateful for today. Today I am grateful for my family.....I have a beautiful precious daughter in law and 3 wonderful sons and a husband who I love with all my heart. I am truly blessed. I am grateful for the journey that my middle son is embarking on today. I am grateful for my WLS and all the choices of WLS, Grateful for support groups, grateful for my arms and legs and my mind ( even though my memory is not great ). Grateful for another day to live life and make better choices than yesterday. Grateful for the upcoming OH Conference in New Orleans, La. Sept 9 - 10. PLEASE share with us if you will what you are grateful for today.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CAN NOT CHANGE; COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT I CAN; AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE !!!! THIS IS MY DAILY PRAYER.

I am grateful for life, strength, opportunity and a second chance at life. I will keep your son in prayer. I know how it is to have a child that you love and raised and then they get off course. My oldest son was a honor student all thru school and got off course (Friends) right before heading to Military he took some turns and went some places that he should'nt have gone. Let me just encourage you and anyone to love them know matter what. I mean no matter what. He knew that I didnt raise him that way and he hide from me becuz he felt like he had failed me and that alone made it more challenging. He went to the ugly side of the world. And he even done and said a few ugly things that he had never ever done before. He was the child that loved his mom. I kinda got distracted by his actions and wanted to deny him but I had to remember what my purpose was and it was hard. I stood by him no matter what and showed him love and even told him how i love him if i have never ever told him that i love you. I kept stepping in his life, kept praying, i kept looking for the bright side and I knew the person i saw was not my child. I didnt lose hope.It was a long ride. And when I had the chance I would speak with him in love and truth. Im happy to say Ive had my son back for three years now and he is doing great and he lost interest in all those things that was pulling him away from his purpose. Dont give up and serve your purpose. Know who you are. If you are a mother be a mother, if you a husband be a husband, if you a friend be a friend. Im grateful for who I am.
