  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hi everyone,,,,,,please pray for my husband,,,,for him to be brought to his knees and God reveals /himself to him,,,,for my broken marriage and heart....ive got a long road ahead of me

Praying for you and for your broken heart... May God grant you peace and wisdom and overwhelming calm in this storm...amen

from me to you... I once felt as you do but am now HAPPILY divorced for 28 years now. The divorce was My choice. There came a time when (all of a sudden) I didn't want him anymore. All of a sudden he became the ugliest man I had ever seen... After time I was embarrassed for anyone to know I was ever married to "that guy".. It is hard to believe NOW how love sick I made myself over him. I loved him so dearly but didn't know if I could ever be happy living with someone I couldn't trust. He had issues.. Women, drugs, He was the king of his castle and I was the little red neck woman. He told me I was too ugly, too skinny, too boring, you name it. He even told me at one point that he only stayed married to me because he felt sorry for me.. I was just that pathetic. So now-- this man who I took care of, baled out of jail, allowed to beat me and talk to me like I was property is 300 pounds worth of toothless wonder. lol. His family tells me he still carries a torch for me but I don't even want anyone to know I was married to someone like him. I wouldn't go out with him or get involved with him on a bet. I don't care who he dates or is with. I hope he's happy but care no more for him than I would a total stranger. He had open heart surgery a few months back and I couldn't even feel concern for him.. I guess I hoped it turned out okay for his family's sake and for the sake of our son, and I remember thinking that he was probably just too much of an idiot to get right with God first and that just was not my problem. I write all this because I want to tell you that no matter how this turns out your heart is strong enough to accept it, even if it doesn't feel like it now. Chin up and be good to yourself and please don't punish yourself over someone who probably doesn't deserve your devotion. God knows about him and his deeds. Leave his salvation in God's hands. God has a strong enough heart to love each and every one of us in spite of ourselves.

I hope God gives you just what you need. If reconciliation is what you need then I want that for you... Undoubtedly even though at one time I thought I really really wanted and loved the man I was married to, I still didn't know how I would ever forgive him... I have forgiven him I think, but from a distance and he is no more than a memory.... There is no romantic feeling for that man that I once thought I couldn't' do without. Just wanted to tell you that. It might apply to your situation or it might not. If I were to give you advice I would tell you not to grieve too much over a disobedient or selfish husband. Step back and look at him from an outsiders point of view... If you just met him today, would he even get a date?

Don't worry that he needs your prayer. God sees him and loves him just as he see's and loves all of us. God does not need you to help him save this man.

Okay enough preaching. ...
In Love,
Connie

ps... I hope you do not think I am being cold or uncaring to your sadness... It is just the opposite...those who loved me thought I might not make it out of that marriage alive either by my hand or his... I just want you to understand that you are whole with or without this guy... and you are more valuable than you believe yourself to be at this moment. I really want you happy, healthy and laughing out loud again and I want you to know that you will be happy again no matter how you marriage turns out.

I'm hypoglycemic and believe me I understand the concept of Dopey from not eating.... my brain literally misfires. :) You will feel better soon.


I am home...it is over...my brain was really getting slow while I was there...but I felt better after the procedure...I did not do what Dave suggested about breaking my fast...sort of gulped down a bowl of chili too fast...lost some of it, but still the salt and carbs tasted soo good.

A nap sounds wonderful now...and my report was excellent...no cancer, no polyps (my spelling is terrible)....yet I still have irritable bowel sometimes if I don't eat right (for me). :angel::angel::angel::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug:

Good to hear it!
Our GI Doc is good (from what I have heard).
We just haven't had good timing ....with health issues, hubby being unable to take time off from work, caring for our parents, then both dying suddenly with 2 estates to clean and sell...it is has just been an overload :o
But things are settling down now, and we know we must just 'git 'er done' :p

I guess this procedure is part of regular health care for Seniors...they had an assemby line going yesterday with the patients going in and out, a nurse said they did about 30 people a day, every day.

My insides are sensitive, must be the allergies,etc.; I did not even have the pockets, my hubby has those and he had some polyps removed.

Been praying for no complications for your brother...my hubby had open heart surgery, it is a big deal.
Lord let the supporting staff be wise and alert to all this man's needs, and by the miracle of medicine, may he have an extended healthy life, in Jesus name I pray.

I can relate to your broken heart, my hubby has not always been faithful, yet we have survived in our marriage together, God's grace abounding upon us.
When you pray for your husband, He (the Lord) will be able to heal your heart...not returning evil for evil. Even if you don't do it perfectly and who can do that???? God will cover you.

It's Wednesday morning here - 1:00 AM. Tomorrow my little brother will have open heart surgery to replace a valve in his heart with an artificial one. I would greatly appreciate your prayers. He isn't even 60 yet, and I'm praying that he has many more years with his family. If I understand correctly, the surgery will take from 6 to 8 hours. Thank you sincerely in advance for your prayers. His name is Joe.
Joe has been in my prayers all day for God's abundant blessings ~ also for you and your family Tom, as it is not easy waiting! :hug:
May Christ be a strong Presence to you all :crossrc:

Yes, here they encourage it at age 50, but back then for a few years I was gravely ill.
We were then busy with our parents and helping my daughter with the kids through her divorce; it was always 'something'.
This may be our year; we will see in a month or so when hubby is feeling better :sorry:

I hope you are feeling back to normal after much rest Shirley :hug: :pray:
