A Mother's Day Gift


He's home and he looks so good.

There is a little more of him than there was the day he left (but that's okay),
and he has completed his program a little sooner than anticipated!

There is a newness about him...
...a desire to live for Jesus and to continue getting his life in order.
In some conversations, it seems like I'm talking to a different person.
I guess that's because he is different.

What an absolute blessing it was on this Mother's Day Sunday,
 to look out into the congregation from the platform during praise and worship
and see him and his significant other, Michelle, sitting there together.
And what's more, as the pastor prayed a special prayer for us mothers,
I can't even describe what it was like when he reached out and placed my hand in his.
This mama's heart is full to overflowing!

Many of you have and continue to pray for him, and I am so thankful for those prayers!
Please don't stop now, my friends!
Now that he's back in the real world, the enemy will surely attack him around very corner.
It's already started and he's passed several tests already in the few days he's been home.

God is GOOD!

So, I just wanted to send a late Mother's Day greeting and hope yours was as blessed as mine!
As you see, I survived my Epic week...another post for another day... 
...hopefully soon :)

Hugs to all,

  13. Debby, this post just makes my heart sing. I can only imagine your joy as you celebrated Mother's Day with your son. Sometimes God does the most miraculous things. Yes, indeed, I will continue to pray, because we do know the *devouring lion* is always on the prowl. But, Jesus is stronger, and we will pray for His continued healing in your son's life.

    GOD BLESS!
