Praising God my son was safe.....
Every morning as Im getting off work, I wait for Mason to get off the bus at school (I work at his school) I watch him get off the bus,I give him a kiss and send him onto class.
Well the last couple of days Mason has had a rash around his mouth, so today I wanted to run him into the nurse for her to look at before I sent him on his way. The bus came all the kids got off, and no Mason......
I thought maybe he missed the bus and Jamie brought him. So I went to the parent pick up line, all the kids had been dropped off and he was not one of them, so I called Jamie at home, no answer... so I went to his classroom asked his teacher if she had seen him, she said no.
So I called home again, Jamie answered, I asked where Mason was, he said...school, I was about to freak out. I told Jamie no he was not and did not get off the bus, Jamie went yelling through the house and then finally hung up on me, I think himself started to freak out. I went and ask the Secretary to call the bus barn and see if Mason got on the bus, she was a sub.... (GREAT!)
She said she stopped at our stop but no kids got on. Three kids get on at that bus stop, so I asked Michelle (the Secretary) would she check to see if Riley (one who gets on with him) was in class. They called down to the classroom, she was not.
The whole time this feels like days, even thought it was 10minutes!!
Right about then I see this cute brown boy walking down the hall, it was Mason.
I ran out the door yelled at him and asked where he had been?? All the kids at our stop missed the bus, it came early. Our neighbor told Mason to go tell his dad that she would take all of them to school, well when Mase went to our door, he thought it was locked (only it's hard to open in this cold weather) so he went on with them, not telling daddy where he was going. Jamie said he heard the dogs barking (they always bark when the hear someone at the door) but by the time he got to the door, Mase had already got in our neighbors car. We know this neighbor and trust them to take Mason, but none of us knew.
Mason then began to cry, are you and daddy mad at me? I said no we are so glad we found you!!
Mommy is happy,but we were both so worried that we were afraid you were LOST.

Friends, in Matthew 18 the story tells us of the 100 lambs and how one got lost, the Shepard left all the lambs that were not lost to go find that one lamb that was, our father in heaven is the same way, he will look, make contacts and get our attention til all of his children are found. He wants not one of us to be lost.
Im sooooo thankful for a son that is found.
