I had heard that Tim Tebow was playing for the other team, and really wanted to get there to see him play. Every year my husband's office gets season passes and makes them available to their employees. So, we were able to get tickets on the first base line for last night's game. So exciting!
It was a beautiful night surrounded by the three people I love the most in this world.
Our seats were awesome!
Tebow Time!! It was so great to see this amazing young man in person. I've been following him for a few years. I appreciate him and what he stands for. He's a class act!
I want to share my personal experience with trying to find "safe food" for me at the ballpark last night. Most places, including this ballpark, does not allow you to bring in outside food. The day got away from me, and I didn't eat supper before we went. I wasn't too concerned because I thought for sure I'd be able to find something. {Read on to see that I really learned my lesson to plan ahead!!}
Because of the nutrition plan I'm on, I cannot have gluten, dairy or soy {among other things}. I went to the information booth and asked if there was a place that could accommodate me. They gave us passes to go to their restaurant which is located where the boxes are. We went up there, and we were told that we couldn't get something to go. Since I didn't want to miss 30+ minutes of the game, we went back downstairs to the concession stand. I saw a turkey burger on the menu, so I decided that's what I would get without the bun. Well, when I ordered it, I was told that they didn't have any more turkey burgers. I tried one more place that was cooking hibachi type food thinking I could have them leave off the sauce. Well, everything was marinated in teriyaki sauce {which has soy in it}. So, that was out. I was frustrated and hungry! But, there was nothing I could do but drink water.
A little while later, my son got up from his seat. I thought he was going to the restroom but when he came back he had a "to go" box in his hand. When I opened the box, there was a piece of grilled chicken, two slices of tomato, lettuce, onion, two pickles & fries {which I'm not supposed to have...but had a few...which I won't ever do again. They were so gross to me!! YUCK!!}. I looked at him with tears in my eyes. I asked him where he got it. He said that he went back up to the restaurant and asked them if he could order something to go. They told him yes, and that's what he ordered for me {don't know why we were told at first we couldn't get stuff to go}. I asked how he paid for it, and he said, "I have money." {He's a working man now...LOL!}. And, then I said, you didn't have to do this, and he said, "Yes I did. You had to eat."
What a sweet act of kindness and service my son gave me last night. It still overwhelms me of his care and concern for me. I'm blown away that he used his own money to buy me a safe dinner for me to eat. I'll never know what I've done to deserve to be his mother! I'm so glad he's mine!! My heart is so blessed and encouraged by him.
All in all it was an amazing night with my wonderful family!! Thank you, Lord, for the blessing of my family and the night that we shared together!
