I have seen my own sister suffering with her son and his drug and alcohol abuse and I have seen her down so low that she had nowhere else to go. But somehow, time does help and sometimes heal. Everything just takes time these days, Annie. I'll add you and your son in my prayers today...Reginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14287107184977896696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9351429.post-1148604555887464502006-05-25T19:49:00.000-05:002006-05-25T19:49:00.000-05:00I like the Anne LaMott quote.

The first walls to come down have to be the ones he, himself, has built around himself......Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13302132941940784968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9351429.post-1148563844210237792006-05-25T08:30:00.000-05:002006-05-25T08:30:00.000-05:00I wish we could help.

She lived with several men before she found one to marry, and he was a bad choice. But one day he was converted to Christianity while on a business trip. And when he came home, God started speaking to my sister through him. Six months later, she accepted Christ.<BR/><BR/>Hold on to hope.little davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07216663347416536106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9351429.post-1148525440785137962006-05-24T21:50:00.000-05:002006-05-24T21:50:00.000-05:00Boy that's the truth, her words and yours both.

I am not sure that it would be easier to do it for them Annie, I don't think so. And I think too, that even before we take that first step out on those wobbly legs, we must first learn to stand on our own. I think that process of standing, and then stepping out is all part of a developing faith and the grace that goes along with that. And one just feeds the other. I say this because I have fallen down a few times myself.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11658952413441149677noreply@blogger.com
