My quick must share beautiful moment son had regarding serenity
having been an alcoholic and an addict for nearly half of his life he finally made it to rehab nearly two years ago now and is studying to be a counselor, kid you not well he finally got a job in a rehab while he finishes his school and the blessings just keep coming he shared with me that the night before last after having heard many wonderful comments from co workers and how pleased they are and how well he works with new guys coming out of prison and the such he walked outside into the night air for just a moment and said an out loud prayer thanking God for leading him to this place in his life and giving him his life back and allowing him to be the husband, father and finding the job he knows he was put here
to do into the night air he then smiled and said one last thing I know you're out there and you can hear me if you could just give a sign that would be great a shooting star anything ok, then after a moment he went back into work and on his next time stepping outside for a quick smoke or last break before dawn there it was the brightest he said, Oh Mom it was not only a shooting star it was the brightest one I've ever seen and it went on forever as if to say, I'm here I hear you my child thank you for giving thanks and know everything will come in my time son not yours. talk about a serenity/ goose bump moment
Gosh....I never got a bright shooting star. Got lots of other stuff and never a star. I did get a job as a rehab counselor though and that was great all around; a mega-blessing to me from HP. Happy he and his journey is being put to use to help others. HP works in mysterious ways...Yay!! ((((hugs))))
Congratulations to your son on his sobriety and new job. It definitely gives me hope as a family member of an alcoholic who is still out there using to hear positive shares like this. Thanks for the wonderful news! TT
