For my birthday this year I wanted to do something special. So we went to visit Sarah. Much to our surprise she wanted to go to the Mall and see Santa.
Now, in years past there was no way that she would ever go to the Mall, let alone even be near Santa. This was a wonderful first to see!!! As you can see Sarah was having a wonderful time.
Sarah knows that Christ is the reason for the season. She believes Santa is his helper. Such a child like mind :) Does it not say in the Bible that we should be as children?
We had a really good time. I love seeing how she is progressing. I realize that she has her good and bad days (like we all do), but her good days seem to be more and more and last longer. I am so grateful that her experiences now are really good ones.
It use to be that we would get kicked out of stores because of behaviors, now Sarah really enjoys going in the shops and looking at the things she likes. We are all so proud of you Sarah!
There are so many things to be thankful for. One of the many thankful things for me to be thankful for, is the fact that God is playing a very big roll in Sarah's life.
You see Sarah believes in God. Yesterday, when we went to Sarah's house for Thanksgiving, she was kind of having a rough time. Holidays are kind of hard for her. We prayed and then she expressed to me that she really misses her sisters.
Holidays are very important to Sarah and she loves to have family around. She also loves to cook. Her staff were very patient with her and let her serve things up Sarah's style :)
Towards the end of our visit she asked her grandma (my mom) if she could have a dollar. She was very excited that grandma gave her $2.00's and promptly told us we had to leave LOL. We all new that she told us that because she wanted her staff to take her out to spend her $2.00's.
We were all very thankful for the wonderful time and great food we shared. Thank you Sarah and her staff for a very great and blessed time we had :)
