A Family Fast Tomorrow Works for Us!

My NYR's list included writing on, not just reading the blog. What an awesome means of sharing our lives with each other. Writing all the crazy fun and sometimes desperate things helps keep us sane. What a support system we have in each other!!!
Tomorrow Ellery and I will fast for you, Jack and Kev and Lydia. About 15 years ago a woman called to ask me if she could have her son come and live with us. I told her I would be happy to have him stay with us except for one thing--I didn't, and couldn't love him as much as she did. It took about an hour to convince her that I didn't have stewardship over her son. As long as she loved him and was willing to try she was the woman for the job.
I honestly believe that God carefully considers each family and each family member. He knows you love Lydia, will continue to love her and to prayerfully make decisions, sometimes hard decisions to help her. He has given Lyd the best big sisters in the world to help and love and be an example to her with their husbands and their sweet little babies. Lydia has the best family in the world to help her through this. And we are all here to back you up with our prayers and whatever else you need.
"All we can do is pray." Does not mean a last desperate attempt. I think how powerful and loving our Heavenly Father is and He lets us talk to Him. He listens to us and lets us ask Him for things and blessings He has the ability to give us. He loves us and wants what is best for us. So praying isn't "all" we can do. It is the "best" we can do. I don't know how people live without God in their lives. We will pray that she remembers what you have taught her about her Heavenly Father.
