A Whammy

I have been unblogging for the past few weeks, not because I dun have anything to thank about but initially, after learning that forgiveness is key, I was freed. I was so joyous, and I can even pray for my adversaries, think abt what they may like and such. I was planning a playground outing cum picnic and I actually wanted to invite them that Wednesday when it was Megan's birthday. However, the playground was closed for public, so we decided to try again that Saturday. It was not a feasible plan cause something unexpected happened. Something that made us sad. Well our adversaries attacked again and this time they did not come unto us, but the hand that feeds...It was heart wrenching to see the elderly stare blankly into space, weeping daily and the constant change of atmosphere. First the quiet then the shouts and screams... it was more than disturbing. My husband was with his family the next few days, I spend my time at work and eating lonely dinners. Not that I mind, but I shared the sorrow they felt, the betrayal and the disappointment and anger. It was during these times, that I told God, have mercy, please. Then we finally had time to pray together, that night, we pleaded with God to bring the prodigal son back and to give us a big heart, big enough to welcome them home.

We got news that they would come back on Saturday. God answers prayers. So that Saturday, it was meant for a heart to heart talk to clear the air. However, the 'VIPS' do not share the same thought. Perhaps they wanted to come back because it is a more convenient option. So they came home, apologised to the parents and that's it. No explanation or remorse, nor lecture from the latter, no warnings nothing. They merely swept everything under the rug, conveniently. My husband could not be there cause he had a meeting. So I came back....phew, strange, it somehow felt like what happened the last few days didn't really happen. That is how good some of his family members are. They could vie for the Oscars....but my husband wanted a seperate meeting anyway hoping that the relationship would last, but his parents think that he is the troublemaker now by initiating this. They conveniently said, no family is perfect, they would not be around for a long time anyway, in other words, just pretend to like them.....hehehheh cool. Is that the world's greatest joke or what. Well, anyway, their reaction got us to knock on heaven's door again, this time we let Him decide, whether or not a meeting would take place...if not close all avenues.
God has a way of anwering prayers, I dunnot whether to cry or giggle, but adversary#1 saved her butt by distracting parents so that kindness and leniency is shown...that she is expecting...WHAM! Thats a good one God. Now I get the message.....leave this to You huh.....yup I wash my hands....
Sigh, God please make us strong, You defend ok....we would trust You on this one. Save our sanity, enlarge our hearts.
