MOM and Me.
I love my mom. I thank God to be blessed to be 56 years old and still have both my mom and dad.
This past week with mom was great! Just mom and me. We did what we do when we are together …play cards games at her kitchen table for hours, talked, counseled each other , and EAT!!!!!!!
This is the time I catch up on all that is going on with family. They live a couple hundred miles away from me. Mom gets to check me out from top to bottom, and I her. You know how moms do. (wink)
When mom knows I am coming she shops for my favorites. So needless to say, I ate like a fool!
From my favorite chicken to shrimp and catfish I was out of control! I felt so guilty the second day; I ate salad with my chicken for breakfast. LOL
Thank God this is just a 3 day visit. Any longer and I would not had been able to fit out the door. I even ate cheesecake and apple pie. What!!!!!!
O.K. I am coming to my senses now. I am drinking a Slim Fast.
I spent some time with my only sister this week as well. She lives in the same city as mom. She is younger and wiser than me. She has prayed a hedge of protection around my heart and mind for years when I was not an Intentional Christian.
I love her! We went POWER WIG SHOPPING!!! Oh, YEA!!!!!! My sister is the Christian that I watched stand fast to the word for many, many years before I realized that God is the way.
She demonstrated the Grace that God says we should. She loved me and accepted me, and prayed for my while I was yet a sinner not seeking God.
I admire her heart, her determination, her parenting, her WALK, and so much more.
And now I love and appreciate our conversations about the Love of Jesus!
Well it is almost time for me to start my 3 hour solo trip home savoring this visit and transition my mind to being back at home. Vacation over!
This has been a great short visit. A Nice way to spend Spring Break!
Love you, mom! Love you, sis!
