Dearest Robin, I have been in bed for the last four days because of
the snow which has kept me stoved up. I am so very sorry that you have had
your heart broken by your 15 year old daughter and I will be praying that god
will dpeak to her and make her understand that you are Not lazy, you Are in
pain that you have no control of. When you get a chance, go to <A HREF="http://www.chronicpainclearinghouse.homestead.com/anger.html">
http://www.chronicpainclearinghouse.homestead.com/anger.html</A> and either copy
the subject: Anger, the soul destroyer, or have your daughter sit and read
the subject matter. In the subject matter it will tell exactly what you are
going through, and that you have no control of what you have to go through.
It is a great article for anyone who has chronic pain to read, because
chronic pain can lead to deep depression, or deep anger within one's self
because they cannot do the things that they used to do. I had to ask for help
on this subject a few months back because anger was getting the best of me,
and I do not have any children talking back to me and breaking my heart.
Thank God for your Son because he seems to have an understanding of what you
are going through. ............My mother raised my stepbrothers children, a
boy and a girl. The girl was a mess at the age of 15 and did not care about
anyone but herself. Maybe it is just a stage in life that young girls go
through at that age, I really don't know. I do know that she is 22 now and
not married and has a child herself, and lives with her boyfriend. He refuses
to marry her because of her go to hell attitude, and even though they live
together their lives are a mess.
Did you know that to worry is a sin? Not to say that we all don't worry at
one time or another, and certainly not to say that I am without sin. Because
like you I worry, but in the book of Luke 11:27 to 31, Jesus is saying:'
consider the lillies how they grow, they toil not ,they spin not; and I say
unto you, that even Soloman in all His glory was not arrayed like one of
these" If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field and
tomorrow cast into the oven; how much more will He clothe you, O ye of little
faith?"" And seek not ye what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink, NEITHER be
ye of DOUBTFUL mind. For all of these things do the nations of the world seek
after; and your Father knoweth that you have need of all of these things. But
rather seek ye after the Kingdom of God; and all of these things will be
added unto you" Please forgive me of preaching to you on a day when you are
having so many problems already, But I do believe in seeking after God when
you are down and have need that you can not see any way of the need being
fulfilled, but turn to God and He will find a way. Remember when we were
kids? We thought that we knew it all it all. Sounds like your Son has a good
head on his shoulders, and it sounds like your daughter may be trying your
patience. If I were to ever speak like that to my parents, or foster parents,
I would lose some teeth. But honestly, I would suggest downloading the
website that I gave to you and maybe, just maybe your daughter will
understand just what you are going through. You are in my prayers and May God
Bless You always. In His Love, Love you much..............Dave
