lbrow, thank you so much, I believe some of the prayers have been answered already - with this much help - God heard and said - OK - that lady in UT really needs some help - Hehehe! Thanks you. Everything is all better - just some of the edge has been taken off.
145789My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Shirlene. Hopefully all the support and prayers that you are getting from all the 'Cuties' will help to carry you through this trying time. Congratulations on your 10000+++ bouquet!! Know that each flower has come with a thought for you from one of your Cute family. *4U

14227You know, Satan is alive and well... isn't he? Can we both just go to the beach together and watch the sunset??? I will continue praying for Mom, as I know it's so hard watching a loved one age and become ill with many things. Your sister and daughter (and grand daughter) will also be in my prayers friend... One thing that you may have to come to terms with is that you can't help your sister. Only GOD can. Just find comfort in this: He created your sister, He knows her. And He may be having her go through being homeless for a reason... sometimes you have to duck and let GOD hit them in their face. You can't run from GOD, because He is always there... and He will seek you out, even if you're living in your car or sleeping in a cave. Just you keep your focus my love... and don't let Satan rob you of that.

Teri, my dear, I adore how you calm me - I hear the message and I know what you are saying - I will let go of my sister, she does have something that she needs to go through - thank you. As for Mother, she allowed me to bring her here today - for about an hour - she played on the PC and I feed her lunch and took her home - that is so much more than I had hoped for this week. My daughter called and said that she and my grand daughter were working on their issue and she apologized for some of the things in her past, I was totally shocked about that. So we do have a better evening than we had an afternoon. Thank you so much. *4U

33574Oh shirl, I'm so sorry that you are going thru a bad time. I certainly hope for the best and will say a big prayer and lots of hugs for you. You must feel so helpless and of course it is very hard to deal with sooo much. Take a deep breath and try to relax (yes, I know - easier said than done). thoughts and **4u

coco, thank you so much - the breathing has helped and the prayers from so many of you - are a blessing. I do believe that we all will get through this time. *4U2
6578Shirlene, dear one, all the your family issues are going to work out, quicky or slowly, but they always do, can you remember having troubles with your own daughter, perhaps, did that come out OK? I am sure your sister will find her way, she may need to reach out to her family or to others, more important to the LORD. As for your Mother, dear one, she has been in God's care for awhile and all will be OK, one day she may be sitting at your home doing the things the two of you love to do and you will be so surprized you even thought that she wouldn't. HaHa A flower for you.

Oh Loretta, dear one, were you reading over my shoulder with I wrote about my daughter? Hehehe. And did you see that my Mother came for a visit today? I have let my sister go - Let go Let God - so to speak - so thank you very much. Hehehe! I believe God was working hard and fast on my behalf today. *4U2

20661God SPECIALIZES in THINGS/SITUATIONS/PEOPLE that seems IMPOSSIBLE...He's WORKING IT OUT for your GOOD (Psalm 3:4) ;)
63110Hi Shirlene, I'm so sorry for all the worry & concerns you are having right now. I would love to pray for each of these women in your family. And that you will have peace and confidence in the Lord. I had one teenage daughter, that it took her getting married & having her own babies, for our relationship to change. Now we have a beautiful closeness. (And isn't it funny, I see so much of myself in her! I wish I could have seen it in her teenage years, maybe I would have responded to the situation differently. But then again, maybe I had to grow too.) Blessings!

newispswich, thank you - my daughter just said - perhaps what is happening with her daughter was so she would see - what she put me through - I didn't laugh, but I almost cried when she said that - how true - it is. So with all that I could muster, I told her - that time was over and I loved her for who she was - not for what she had done as a child and told her - that she would have to help her own daughter get through this and help her to see what was going on and why she was feeling the way she is. It brought her closer to me and I could feel that she was truly sorry for those things in her youth and that she would help her daughter and not resent her for hurting her, now. Wonderful blessings. *4U
3995Oh, precious Shirlene, I am so sorry. Of course, you have my prayers. I want to remind you that all things work for good that love the Lord, and I know you do, and He is working for you even now, as we pray. I send you love and any strength that I can muster to fly across the US to you!;)

Oh jrob, I felt the love and the power of prayer - all day - thank you so much. It is a much better evening than it was a night last night or a morning or early afternoon. Thank you so much. *4U
158557My dear Shirlene I will surely keep you and the women in your life in my prayers. I know a while ago my sister had problems big time with one of her daughter and now they are as close as can be. I will pray for the same out come. May your sister show up and your mother be given extra strength to enjoy life and do more. Blessings and a bouquet of roses. ><>

Joanie, wow - my mother did visit with me for a short while today, I was able to speak to my sister, through another, she will do what she will do and I have let that go - my daughter and her daughter are working on a better understanding of each other and what happened when they were younger and my daughter has called and apologized for her own youth. What a day indeed - with the power of prayer. I am so glad that I asked for help, as I am unsure that He would have heard just me, today. Thanks! *4U2
15057Shirlener, of course I will pray for you and yours. <<<****>>>>

That sounds strange. Trying to say that all of us are sending good thoughts your way, not that I am sending them to all (which I do also of course).

33451Oh, Shirlene, to be sure you have my support in whatever way you need, my dear! Seems like troubles know how to find us in multiples, doesn't it. For the women in your family, and for you also, know that I pray. I love you, Shirlene. Marji

wjbekker, thank you for posting here, now. I really appreciate your help. Wendy we welcome you to the 'Cute' family. *4U
33451>>>>>>>>>>>>MORE>>>>>>>>>> of coarse - you all know - my Mother's health isn't very good - I just want her to have enough energy to do a few things - other than lay in bed all the time - so that is #1. My daughter is having a bit of trouble with her daughter - an issue from long ago - when she was two - why it is coming up now - I don't know - but she feels that her mother abandoned her when she went to work to support her - long story - short is - it is making then fight - as I guess all 15 year olds do with their mom's. My sister has gone missing and may be living in her car and I don't know where to find her - she lives in Grand Junction, CO - I don't know where to turn to help her. OK - there it is - long and short - trouble running all over the place. Can you pray for the women in my own family?

Trouble never comes in small doses does Shirlene. There are 'Cuties' who have known you much longer than I but, I'm in there with them all, wishing that everything will work out right for you and yours.

Thank you all - if I didn't believe in the power of prayer - I would now. What wonderful and special people each of you are. Thank you so much - things are alot better this evening. I was able to talk my Mother into a short visit today - she played on the PC and I feed her lunch - I was able to locate someone that got my sister to the phone for a short visit and I have turned her over to God - my daughter and her daughter are on a good path to healing and understanding, not that it is all better, but they are dealing with it all - on a much easier level. My daughter apoligized for her youth and I believe in so doing - she will be able to help her daughter, much easier. Isn't the power of prayer just wonderful. Not that everything is over - but it sure feels better and I can breath easy and I will post the pretty FSL project, that I was able to stitch out today. Hehehe!
