A mothers lesson!
It’s 8 pm on my night off and we just put the kids down for bed. As I leave my 3 year olds room I head on over to the couch to sit, relax and read my new book…… One of two things usually happens. My son will go to bed without making a sound or pound on the door asking for one of us to give him a hug. But tonight was different, as I sat on the couch, my husband at the computer watching something I could care less about with his headphones on I hear a small shaky whisper come from my sons room. I sat my book down and listened. Once again I heard his voice but more clearly. “Mama I need you” my heart melted. Usually when he cries I let him and he soon falls asleep but tonight was different. The “mama I need you” did not stop so I broke down and when in to his room to tuck him in. When I asked him what’s wrong he said to fix the car. I told him the car was fine to go to bed. Not giving it a second thought. I shut the door and a few minutes later he started crying again. This time I had my husband go in the room thinking he that would help. But instead he comes back inside asking me when the last one I went to the car was. I haven’t I replied. Well the light is on and the door is open. So we go out side and sure enough the car was broken into. I called the police and only my gps was taken from my consult. Thank God for that. But my heart melted for my son. He must have seen someone in the car and tried to tell me. After I called the police who was very nice, I explained to my son that they were her to help us and that everything was going to be ok. Calmed him down, prayed for not only my son but for the person that broke into our car and explained to him that even though that person did us wrong that he/she needed some guidance so that we should pray for them.
Oh wow! Sorry that this happened to you and even more so that your poor son saw it. Luckily it was just the gps. I know its still something taken from you but it could have been much worse!
Yes I could have been much worse and I thank God that it was not. 🙂
Oh your sweet boy. So sorry he and you had to deal with it.
