Hi... You are welcome. Thanks for the Peace & Blessings. Peace & Blessings to you too...
Quote From: angelmaryThank you beachsmile and everyone else that is praying for me. You know i have my husband and my two boys but i still feel all alone around the Holidays. My brothers and sisters are dysfunctional. I have tried to do everything to bring us together, but they don't want to change. I am really tired of all of the back and forth with my family. So i am going to leave this trial at the alter and let the good Lord take care of it. I really don't think that it will happen in this world. Please pray that i will be able to find peace. You know, i am not suicidal but when the Lord calls me home i am going to be very happy. I don't know why but all of my life they treated like trash. I went home one day and visited one of my brothers. You know that He talked about my son like a dog. I was so hurt and wanted to retaliate but i could hear the Lord's voice saying '' BE STILL i will take care of it. He did this in the front of his new girl friend and his daughter. I was wounded that day. Well the Lord knows what is in my heart so i have decided to let them go and if they want to have a relationship with me , they will have to come to me. If you only knew the abuse i suffered during my young years. But God! my sweet compassionate God was their to pick me up. All praises go to my Father who lives in Heaven.
Peace & Blessings I think that we often are grieving for what we wished we had now or in the past more than what we really had in the past or have now as far as family relations. We cannot change other people, however, we don't have to empower their words. So much time is lost stressing over hateful words said to us and it just empowers those words. Really, pity the person who says and say a prayer for them and avoid person. Instead often we ponder about how much it hurt and often project hurt onto others if only ourselves by remembering or generalizing. I used to not fall into that trap until I decided to be more assertive and noticed instead it is best to "BE STILL" as you said. It is better to respond than react and sometimes the best response is no response. I stopped by and said a prayer for you because sometimes people change but not if we collect and save all the hurt to take out and show them periodically or to reinjure ourselves remembering the pain. Dr. Phil says, in relationships, we often have to decide which is more important... "being right or the relationship..." Every time I have proven myself right things didn't feel very right. Blessings attached abundantly via prayer. YYC
