The story that I'm gonna share to yall started 3yrs ago. My oldest son named Timothy had come home from school with a solemn look. Now this was very unusual, simply because Timothy always has a smile. Through the rest of the day he was very quiet and always looking at me. When it was time for me to tuck him and his little brothers into bed, Timothy asked me the one question that every parent dreads hearing. "Momma are you gonna die?" Believe me that shocked the crap outta me. The first thing I did was take off my glasses and rubbed my head. By then Johnny his little brother said, "Timmers be quiet you are giving momma a headache." By then with my glasses still off, I leaned down and looked into Timothy's eyes and responded, "No matter where I am, I'm always gonna watch over you and your little brothers." Timothy looked deep into my eyes and said, "Momma, I can see myself in your eyes. Just like an angel." Ever since then his name for me as always been angeleyes. The following day, I decided to call his teacher and asked her if Timothy acted quiet in her class. She had told me that one of Timothy's friends had lost his mother in a car accident. That's when I knew why Timothy asked me if I was gonna die. Ironically, two days later I was involved in a major car accident. A teenager with no drivers license and car insurance had failed to stop at a Stop sign. She had hit my driver's side and all I could think of was my boys. Thankfully all I had was a badly sprained left wrist and whiplash. I was discharged that evening and was driven home by my sister. My husband told me that Timothy was so concerned about me that he didn't want to sleep. The next day I made it a appoint to wake up and be there for Timothy before he went to school. When Timothy saw me, his first words were, "my angeleyes is home." Those words had brought tears to my eyes and I knew that my time in this world wasn't over. I learned that life is too short to be in a shell. Ever since the accident, I made a decision to live life to the fullest. To be able to see the world through the eyes of my 3 boys. When I stepped into Lakewood Church, I felt the presence of God and knew that I had come home at last. My 3 boys love the church and I thank God that they are at a place where they can grow up and be the men that they are meant to be.. |
