~~~ PLEASE PRAY, ETC., FOR ME ~~~

Please pray for me -- my sister just called me a while ago, and invited me out to lunch with my mom for my birthday. This will be the first time we've all been together since.....well, maybe the first time we've all been together, just us, in our entire adulthood. I want to take full advantage, say whatever the Lord would have me say, and keep my mouth shut about stuff I shouldn't....thanks!!

THANK YOU, chard, and all who prayed and sent good thoughts for me today. All went well, and we had a great time. We were in the town we grew up in after we moved to Oregon in 1968, where my mom still lives. Lo and behold, while we were there, my sister's X's family came to the same restaurant that we were at to celebrate one of THEIR family member's birthday. They and we pretended to be nice to each other, and gave hugs. I wasn't really a part of the "sides" taken, but there is a lot of friction on both sides in that part of the family.
The funny thing is, my sister didn't think I would want to include my mom, because of the same kind of difficulties between me and her. But when she asked, I decided to see her, too. Which is why we went out there to eat lunch.

God always has a trick up his sleeve, doesn't he??? LOL!!

I would work to get off of my meds altogether. (Years and years of taking meds that don't help have left me frustrated and fairly angry.) Treatment for mental illness is not for the...

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
