As many of you know, My wife of 39 years passed away in Aug 2011. Last Christmas was a blur due to just plain shock and numbness. This year my 2 sons and their new wives are returning home for the first Christmas here since their mom`s death. I ask for prayer for my family in this period of reuniting. I have changed, they have changed, and what all this means...I don`t know. My relationship with the Lord has changed(for the better) and my perspective on all the events of the last year and a half are settled with the Lord. I pray that theirs has also. Please pray that my family sees all this change as a chance for growth and turning to God for healing.
Thank all of you for listening for the past several months...now I need supernatural intervention from my Father in heaven.

Praise God for His love, grace, and patience,

Charlie

Brother,

Praying for all of you. May you all sense the depths of His love and comfort.

In The Pursuit of God, A. W. Tozer writes, "Jesus taught that He wrought His works by always keeping His inward eyes upon His Father. His power lay in His continuous look at God (John 5:19-21)."

Charlie,

When I read this I got a little vision of the grace God will give you and you're family. I have no idea what the dynamics are like but I believe the healing and Light of the Lord will be with you. His Spirit certainly lives in you. Rest in Him, betsy
