What we give up for those we love!

Before I get started, I told you I was not technologically gifted! I lost my blog and couldn't find it! I have just recently located it. I have now written all of the info. down so I won't lose it again! Now.........What types of things do you give up for the ones you love? Well, since we have moved to the midwest, my daughter (let's call her "Gumbo") and I have gotten hooked on Cardinal Baseball. We especially love going to Busch Stadium. "Gumbo" says there is no point in watching the redbirds play on t.v.--there is no fun in that! So...for the past two Christmases--is that right???---Gumbo has gotten me a package of seats to the games. They are random Friday night seats for each month of baseball season. Of course, who do you think my sidekick is? You got it! Anyway, Friday night is our night for September. Baseball season is almost over. So....why wouldn't I want to go on a two night sleepover with the Girl Scouts, right? I have done everything to try to convince her to go late, not at all, etc., etc., but she wouldn't budge! So, like any good mom, I am giving up my tickets to the cherished ball game. You know, in this day and age, there is not a lot that we have to "give up." We are tremendously blessed--actually more than what we deserve. So, I will gladly go to the sleepover with a smile on my face and get to know the new friends and moms that Gumbo has recently made. When I think of sacrifice, mine is nothing compared to the ultimate sacrifice that was given so I may live.
