This morning as I worked my middle school Crossing Guard post, I began to make a running list of things to do when I got home after work. That all came to a screeching halt when I locked my keys in my van at the gas station! My dh was at work, 14yo son at school, 18 yodd on her way out when I called, 16yo son still sleeping.....so my 12 yo son Thomas rode his bike approximately 2 1/2 miles to bring me another set of keys. I walked about a mile to meet him at a corner so he didn't have to cross a very busy intersection by himself. We walked the mile back to the van, chatting the whole time. I opened the van. We put his bike in the van and headed to McDonald's for breakfast and his "reward." I realized how much I enjoyed this unexpected time Thomas and I spent together. Thank you, Lord for allowing my son to come to my rescue and for keeping him safe while making his way to bring me the keys. Thank you for this precious time together. When my son is 40 years old, he'll always remember the day he rode his bike to bring me the keys! I'm especially thankful today for homeschooling because if Thomas was at school, I'm not sure how I would have gotten out of this "pickle" so quickly!
