I am so blessed and uplifted by you dear sisters. Thank you all for your love, prayers and encouragement. I would appreciate your prayers for my daughter. There were some serious unresolved issues between her and her dad. I believe she is very wounded and has some unforgiveness. I may have helped to create some of that by sharing some things with her during my husband's illness that I shouldn't have. She's grown and responsible for her own relationships, but in my own pain I think I threw fuel on the fire of resentment in her. They were things about her dad, that made it easier for her to justify what she was feeling about him. There are things that mother's shouldn't share with their grown daughters, no matter how close their relationship may be. (Just in case you might get the wrong idea, these were not things regarding sex) I have asked God to forgive me, but the seeds have already been planted.
The Lord dealt with me once about it, I asked for forgiveness, repented, and then asked her to forgive me. But then, after a while I went right ahead and did it again! Oh wretched (wo)man that I am!

I can relate to your struggle...and most of us have family issues...:doh:

Maybe in time, you and your daughter can be healed and find peace together about this bitterness...Lord I pray these 2 women will find abundant grace and peace as they continue seeking You and learning about You...bring deep healing and heart restoration to both of them I pray in Your name. Thank You Lord.

Thank you so much for your prayer Angelwind. What you prayed is the desire of my heart and hers. My daughter and I are seeking God's will and direction in everything in our lives.

How are you doing? How can I pray for you?


You sound pretty good this morning...I don't know what to ask you to pray for...for me....I have been focusing on healing a lot...LOL....would really like to spend quality time in the word. I think getting my heart focused on the Lord, His will and direction is good for me too.

I like talking to you. ((((hug))))

Hello to everyone...I hope you have a blessed week.....
Lay aside any notion that if you do well today, God will love you more..Or that if you fail He will love you less..His love for you is already complete....Let it overflow into the way you live, the way you love others and the way you approach everything today......Thank God...we do not need to earn God's love.....

Many, many blessings to those who come here to grow in Christ during this Holy Week. May we all please God by singing His praises with unrestrained joy! May each of us have a closer personal relationship with our precious savior this week, and next week, and every single week hereafter, until we see Him face to face.

Your sister in Christ,
EarthMomma

What a blessing to read in this thread...thank You Lord for believing saints...:bow:

This touches my heart. It's a close representation to how Jesus must tend to us with such tenderness and compassion. It ministers to my heart. Sometimes it helps to visualize what God's 'tending' to us must be like. tHis helps.

God bless you,

Love,
Brenda
