A Box Of Hope

Hi all,
I left a Box of Hope at my BIL's house before we left to come to Florida.

It contains:
4 pairs of new whitey tighties
2 pairs of pants
6 pairs of new white socks
1 warm hoodie
2 tshirts
2 long sleeve shirts
toothbrush
toothpaste
disposable razors
$20.00
A cheerful letter to start his new life.
Lots of Hope.
Plenty of faith.
Some humor to get through the tough times coming.
Some of my heart was in there too.
A mother's love.



Lots of phone calls today.
A spot opened in the Sober House.
Will he go? Will he refuse?
My brother will talk to him tomorrow, and explain what rules are to be followed in the Sober House.
The choice all comes down to my son.
It may be his last chance.
I know that.
Please join me in prayer that his H.P. leads him where he needs to be.

Thanks, I appreciate it,

Moose, It touched my heart as I read the list of hope that you gave to your son. I will pray that he wants to take up the offer of the sober living facility. Either way he knows how much you love him. It is evident in your post. Hugs, Marle

The teaching of the LORD is perfect,
renewing life;
the decrees of the LORD are enduring,
making the simple wise;
The precepts of the LORD are just,
rejoicing the heart;
the instruction of the LORD is lucid,
making the eyes light up.
The fear of the LORD is pure,
abiding forever;
the judgments of the LORD are true,
righteous altogether,
more desirable than gold,
than much fine gold;
sweeter than honey,
than drippings of the comb.
Your servant pays them heed;
in obeying them there is much reward.
Who can be aware of errors?
Clear me of unperceived guilt,
and from willful sins keep Your servant;
let them not dominate me;
then shall I be blameless
and clear of grave offense.
May the words of my mouth
and the prayer of my heart
be acceptable to You,
O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.

Moose, my thoughts and prayers are with your son...
And with his mother's heart.

Shalom!

Moose,

I'm praying that your son and his HP will get together on the very best decision as far as where he should be. I'm praying that your son will feel the nudge, you know, the gut feeling (from HP) of knowing what is the best decision for himself. Now being the mom that I am, I am praying he chooses the Sober House. But I have trust and believe that his HP has THE plan and I pray that your son will get on the same page with his HP.

And lots of prayers for you, Moose. I know that anxious feeling. You probably don't have it cause you're better at this recovery thing than I am, but I'm going to pray for you anyway, just in case some anxiousness sneaks up on you.

Love, hugs and prayers,

Hangin' In
P.S. Would now be a good time for us to start a discussion on "letting go and letting God?"

I'm taking a deep breath and letting go and letting God...with my special request that he be kept safe and my suggestion that the Sober House might be a good place to start. God laughs at me a lot, but I think He will understand and let His plan unfold.

I love the idea of a box of hope, only you could think of something so sweet.

I have a good feeling about this, Moose, really I do.

Hugs, Love and Lotsa Prayers

Love that "box of hope"! What a great idea. Even after all these years, something gives us these "great ideas"! eh?

Hugs and prayers going out for you, Mr. Moose and your son.
