TUESDAY GRATEFUL POST
Good Morning Everyone,
Hope everyone is having a good week. Mine has been rather sad. A young man who was 2 of my son's friends was found dead in a tent near a college campus on saturday. I went to his visitation last night ( His Momma was my babysitter when my boys were little ). Prayers needed for this mother. Her son died of drug overdose and she too is a addict. She was not present at the visitation last night. I am going to try to go talk to his Momma today before his funeral this afternoon. I won't be attending it due to going to visit my son who also had a drug addiction but God has delivered him out of that addiction. I am SO grateful today for my son being drug free. I am so grateful for my Faith and prayers that the big man upstairs answers for us all. Grateful for my life and health. Grateful for my heavenly father using me to touch lifes through him and give people hope when they feel like there is NO hope in their lives. I am NOT trying to get all preachy on everyone so please don't think that. I respect everyone's feelings but I am just in a sad mood today. On a pleasant thought.....tomorrow is my son's 26th birthday who is in Teen Challenge ( for his drug addiction ). I am SO grateful that my son is now drug free and has a bright future ahead of him. SO grateful that we adopted him as a infant knowing that his parents were drug addicts. Grateful for all 3 of my sons and my husband. Grateful for ALL the Second Chances that come our way in our life. If you believe in prayers....please pray for the family of Darwin Cox as they prepare to say their final goodbyes today. I can't imagine how difficutl that will be for them. Have a blessed day and I am SO sorry to be so down 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.
