What greater thing could you do but embrace with open arms and a forgiving heart? Praying you can, and knowing you will!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853147086906439337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476246869299660373.post-63306434166154918832009-05-06T19:46:00.000-07:002009-05-06T19:46:00.000-07:00I just encourage you that perhaps this time will a...I just encourage you that perhaps this time will allow you to grow to be more like Christ. I would read up on Matthew Chapter 5 and the 1 Cor 13 and ask God for the grace to apply those things to your mother in law. <br /><br />If you get a chance, read some of Francis Frangipanes writings or even his book The Three Battlegrounds. He has challenged me greatly in relationship areas! God bless and rejoice in this opportunity to shine your light and be like Jesus!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853147086906439337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476246869299660373.post-994205522821879522009-05-05T22:01:00.000-07:002009-05-05T22:01:00.000-07:00luanne. thanks for your encouragement. to be hon...luanne. thanks for your encouragement. to be honest, i think she is totally lovable. before this incident we got along very well. it was a shock to go through this event at all. i cannot think i am the bigger person, though, esp as i have held onto bitterness for so long. thank goodness for the grace and mercy of God, eh? <br /><br />bethanie, you are so right about the protected haven of our home. soon after my MaIL leaves, my own Ma will be coming and that brings with it a whole other set of anxieties! it is so hard for me to let go and let God, you know? thanks for your prayers! <br /><br />omah, thank you for your words of encouragement. i do have a wonderful hubby! sometimes i forget that...i need to remember to tell him, too!! may your home also be filled with peace, joy and love :)ginnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06109107355106053563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476246869299660373.post-89478398174321808042009-05-05T21:15:00.000-07:002009-05-05T21:15:00.000-07:00You are already on the right track of healing and ...You are already on the right track of healing and putting it behind you.

In the past she has said and did some very hurtful things towards me, my husband, and yes my mother also. She resents me for coming into her son's life. <br />I will definatly be praying for you. I understand how hard it is going to be for you to be nice. It helps me to remember that my husband loves me no matter what his mother does and that we have our own life together apart from her. I take special care with our protected haven. <br />I hope that she will apologize and that you can have a special relationship afterall. If not, at least its only for two weeks.Bethaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13909743765477772019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476246869299660373.post-4113028171763791432009-05-05T16:15:00.000-07:002009-05-05T16:15:00.000-07:00Col 3: 12-14 I think sums it up perfectly...you ca...Col 3: 12-14 I think sums it up perfectly...you can be the bigger an better person. Sometimes loving the unlovable is the only way to make it better :) <br /><br />P.S. I know this from experience.
