Blessed Seeds = Best Sacrifice
Deborah is a mother of two 13 year old twin boys (Demarco & Dion). She recently divorced her ex-husband, Dexter. Their divorce was very bitter and long. Deborah lost her house and a lot of necessities she was used to having when she was married to Dexter. She had to downsize her daily life. Dexter gained the most. The court awarded the twins over to their father in light of him having the financial means to provide the lifestyle they were used to when the parents were married. Deborah has a good salary as a legal secretary. Dexter is an attorney and CEO of his own law firm. Demarco & Dion wrote a note to the judge insisting on staying with their mom. The judge granted the order. Deborah, Demarco and Dion move into a new town in the fall. They start their lives over. It is now spring.
Deborah: (In the kitchen on the phone)
Lori I really need to get off the phone girl. I will see you in the morning. Oh, Demarco and Dion are fine. I hardly ever see them. They are always so secretive. Every time I want to go in their rooms and talk they are so tired. Well at least that is what they say to me. My boys are growing up. I love them so much! They are my little men! They always help out. I never have to ask them to do their responsibilities, they automatically do it. I am blessed! They are on the track team. They have a really nice coach. Oh, yes they are keeping their grades up. Dexter would not have that. Yes, he comes every other weekend to pick them up. It has been a few months but I am getting better daily. Thanks for asking. Well, I have to go. My boys will be coming home soon. I have to prepare some dinner. Okay, bye. Thanks!
Lori: (Calling Deborah back)
Hey Deborah, don’t forget that I will be picking you up earlier because of the professional development we have for work. We probably won’t make it back to work in time so please ask your sister or niece if they can pick the boys up from track.
Deborah: (Getting emotional)
Okay, thanks so much Lori. I have so much on my plate. I completely forgot about that! Thank you so much! Oh my God! I didn’t even call my sister or niece to ask them if they could pick them up for me. Thanks so much for your support. I don’t know what I would do without good family and friends. This is a difficult transition for me. When you’re used to being married for 18 years and then it’s over, it is such a hard process. Thanks again and again. I will call my sister and niece right now. Thanks Lori!
Lori:
Deborah, you’ve always been there for me and everyone else. You are reaping what you have sown. I understand. You don’t have to worry. It’s such a pleasure to help out. If your sister can’t do it I am sure your niece can. She still works across the street from the school so that is a sweet blessing. You know she doesn’t mind. Have a good night! (Smiling)
Lori and Deborah complete their professional development sessions for work and are headed home in Lori’s car. The twins call Deborah on her way home to tell Deborah something good.
Deborah:
Hey Dion! How did the track meeting go? Where is Marco? What’s up guys? Why am I on speaker phone? What’s wrong?
Demarco & Dion:
Hey mom! Nothing is wrong.
Dion:
Mom, please don’t be mad but we have something to tell you when you get home. Aunt Karen picked us up.
Demarco:
But Kierra is here with us. Aunt Karen had to make a few errands for us. She is coming back.
Deborah:
What! Wait, both of them are at the house, why?
Lori: (Smiling)
Deborah:
Okay…well I will be home in about 25 minutes. You guys better not be in any trouble.
Demarco & Dion:
Okay, see you soon mama.
Deborah:
What are you smiling about Lori?
Deborah finally makes it home. She sees a car in her driveway. Lori doesn’t drop her off. She parks her car on the side of the street where Karen and Kierra’s cars are. Deborah is puzzled.
Deborah: (Walking in her house)
Whose car is that in my driveway?
Demarco & Dion: (Yelling, smiling)
IT’S YOUR CAR MOM!!
Deborah: (Crying like a river)
What? How? Who gave me a car?
Dion:
Have a seat mom. We told you we had to talk to you about something.
Demarco: (Happily)
Dion and I have been working extra hours for dad. We did not use any of our allowance. We have not been at all those track meetings. Sorry for lying mama. We sold some of our Nike shoes, we cut grass and did a lot of odd jobs in the neighborhood to save up our money to buy you this used car. From November to now (April) we saved $10,000 to buy you that car. We didn’t want you to have to worry about a car note.
Dion: (Full of joy)
We figured since we have the BEST mother in the world, we’d give you an early Mother’s Day gift. Aunt Karen helped with the registration. Kierra’s boyfriend is an auto mechanic. He checked out the car. It is in good condition. Aunt Karen and Aunt Lori gave us the money to help fix the things that were wrong with the car.
Lori:
But it wasn’t anything major. I wish you had left that out Dion. She was already thinking she owes me for picking her up for work. You don’t owe me anything Deborah. It was a pleasure. I just wanted to see the look on your face. I love you and could not resist being part of this when Karen called me.
Deborah: (Still crying, hugging everyone)
Lori, Karen and Kierra, I am without words. I am so thankful. Thank you all so much...so much! Dion and Marco, you two are the best sons ever! I have the best boys in the world. I love you guys so much. Thank you so much. I was saving up for a car. Oh my Lord. Thank you God! I am so full of joy! I am so full of appreciation right now!
Karen: (Smiling)
You know I will always have your back. I love you and you are the best little sister a gal can ask for. You rock! Your used car looks so new Deb. Yes, Dion and Marco are the sweetest nephews. I am so proud of these boys of yours.
Kierra:
Yes, we had it detailed and waxed. Nothing but the best for you Aunt Deborah. My boyfriend Christian’s aunt had a friend who was selling his 2016 Buick LaCrosse. The car only has 8,000 miles on it. When the boys asked me if I knew anyone who was selling a car, I asked around.
A mother’s love is in the belly of longevity. Your unconditional love and good deeds will always pay off! They are watching and they are recording your examples. :0)
