almost two weeks of staying at my moms trying to stay in between her and my brother. He tried to get me upset one night he told me I was"holier than thou" just because mom and I were talking about the bible. I told him I was not holier than thou but I was holier than him. I know that was the wrong thing to say but it came out before I even thought it was the wrong thing to say. Anyway one day he told my mom that her bible wasn't anything but a pile of sh__. a couple of days later he was trying to do everything for mom and I told him he needed to let her take care of herself so she could get some usage back in her muscles. As a stroke victim she really needs to do for herself. He had gotten her bible and put it on her stool. He looked at me and said and I quote his words exactly "I do this out of respect and love for God and my mom. My stomach actually turned over. Mom does nothing but defends him. My grandson is 5 and my sister is raising her granddaughter that is also 5 . I keep my grandson away from her. But she put these two children down she talks to sister granddaughter like she was a dog. I have tried to tell mom that they are 5 nothing but children and they will be loud and they will run and they will jusmp because they are children.
Anyway yesterday she told me I needed to forgive. ACK Now she had just spent 10 minutes telling me how much of a brat sisters granddaughter is and I just don't understand.
I know what kind of person my brother is . He has been married 5 times and none of his wives could live with him because he is too controlling. he is manipulative and controlling and mom wants to stay in her house so bad she is putting up with it.
Yesterday I came home and after two weeks of not seeing my grandson except for just seeing him and Thanksgiving, today dd brought him to me and we took him out tonight to see Christmas lights and it was so much fun. ANd now he is spending the night at my house. I am glad he is here.\
I am looking forward to getting back into an exercise routine. I tried to eat right but it was hard to eat at someone elses house and cook those special foods she needs and then turn around and cook my foods. so I just ate quick foods and foods that oh well I can now get back to my old way of eating that seemed to keep me full of energy and I felt better.
I get to go to church in the morning and I am so hungry to go to church. I read dthe bible and I listened to some preaching that I had on cd. But it was not the same. I need to go to church. I know that God would not fault me for not going because I was needed to go to moms but my spirit hungers to be with my church family.
I am even happy to be blogging again. Who would think that I would miss blogging. lol
Sleep well everyone
and
God bless

I have missed reading your updates, Joy. It sounds like your home is a warm, Christian environment, and I'm glad your grandson has that. I pray for your whole family, that it be God's Will that their eyes and hearts are turned to him.
ReplyDeletei look forward to seeing my church family, as well. God bless your Sabbath. I hope you have some good, healthy food to eat, too.
