A Continual Dripping of Amative Love
Grandma Adha birthday is coming up and all 8 of her daughters gather yearly to celebrate her life and legacy with their dad and other family members. This year Grandma Adha is turning 70. Although Abagail is reluctant to attend, the desire to continue the family tradition is heavy on her heart. Abagail finances have changed. Abagail is divorced with 3 young men in college. Abagail and her ex-husband have multiple loans they help pay. She is going back to school to be a nurse practitioner like her mother. She has a 13 year old son at home who usually goes with her every year to Grandma Adha birthday celebration. Abraham and Abagail have an extremely close relationship as mother and son. Grandma Adha has sown multitudinous blessings and sacrifices in the lives of her children, especially Abagail. Grandma Adha is renowned for being a prolific offender of financial esperance in the lives of her children and grandchildren. Abagail talks to her son about the party.
Abagail:
Abraham, I wanted to talk to you about Grandma Adha birthday celebration dinner. I know your dad was supposed to have you this weekend but I asked him if you could stay for her 70th birthday. He said it was okay. I think he said he was going to try and come.
Abraham knows how hard his mom works. He also knows she will sacrifice a bill or two in order to include him in the dinner.
Abraham:
If dad is fine with it, you know I am good. Wow, grandma looks like she could be your younger sister. She looks good for 70. I didn’t know she was turning 70 years old mom. What colors are we wearing this year?
Abagail:
Well, I was thinking about not going to the dinner because I really don’t have a gift to bring her. I was going to meet up with the rest of my sisters at grandma house afterwards. She has been so good to me…to us. What do you think? The colors for this year are black and white. I know you have black and white attire.
Abraham:
Mom, you should definitely go! Grandma’s heart would be broken if you were not there, plus I just remembered, Rodney invited me to his video game party. I forgot it was today. Can I go…please? All the new video games will be available for us to play! I am so excited.
Abagail:
Are you sure? Okay, well you have to come see grandma tomorrow. I have to talk to Rodney’s mom to confirm.
Abraham:
I will get Rodney on the phone so you can speak to his mom. Besides mom, kids don’t really need to be at grandma’s dinner. I will see her tomorrow. Thanks!
Scene changes and Abagail is at the dinner with the rest of her adult family. Everyone is having a great time. Abagail orders her food and eats half of it. She saves the other half for Abraham so he can have some food to eat when he comes home from Rodney house. She didn’t have any food at home.
Abraham: (calling his mom on her cell phone)
Mom, I am on my way home from the party. I have something for you. Tell grandma I said happy birthday again.
Abagail:
Okay, I am on my way home as well. Wait until I get home first, then ask Rodney’s mom to drop you off.
Abraham:
Are you serious? I can walk. It’s right down the street.
Abagail:
Boy, don’t start with me! You’re my baby boy. Do you know it is after midnight? I said, have them drop you off and wait until I get there. I will call you when I get in the house.
Abraham:
Yes ma’am.
Abagail comes home and immediately warms up the food so when Abraham gets in the house he can eat if he is hungry. She calls Abraham on his phone to tell him to come home.
Abraham:
Mom, I need some help! Meet me in the kitchen.
Abagail:
Help with what…Oh my lord! Where did you get all this food from?
Abraham:
Rodney’s mom and dad had a party while we were having our game party. They had so much food left. They asked me if I wanted to take some food home, in fact they insisted. I couldn’t resist. I took a pan of chicken, a pan of veggies, a pan of macaroni and cheese and this pan of salad.
Abagail: (crying on the inside)
These are some really big pans of food. I have to call her and thank her. Wow, I am so thankful for this. We can eat off of this for a week. I'm gonna freeze some of this.
Abraham:
What is this on the table? Did you bring food from the dinner?
Abagail: (smiling)
Yes, I ate a little bit and brought you half because I haven’t been to the grocery store.
Abraham:
Look at us. We are always looking out for each other. Thank you mom! I understand, and I appreciate you for it. I love you!
Abagail:
I love you baby! Thank you!
The time is always present to be grateful for not just the little things but for EVERYTHING...THEN BOOM...ABUNDANCE COMES! :0)
