Topic: RE: Wednesday Prayer & Praise
I think mother daughter relationships are the hardest ones. My own daughter barely speaks to me, only on Facebook because of things she believes are true that really aren't. Long story, but I've only done what I believed was best for her and us but she doesn't think I've tried hard enough. She totally dismisses my health issues as looking for sympathy. Doesn't believe I have fibro or severe arthritis, just calls me a junkie because I have to take pain meds. Plus she claims to be a witch and is into paganism. So all I can do is pray for a change of heart in her,God is stronger than her beliefs, so one day I hope she'll go back to the lovely young lady she used to be. So yep I know what you are going thru. God bless.

Praise: Got to spend time with the Munchkins at a park where there was a maze to play in, and a playground to play on. Boy, was that fun.
Prayer: My last visit with the Munchkins and my daughter will be on Thursday, the 7th. Please pray for them, as they have had strep throat four times since January, and Lincoln's rash, allergic reaction to penicillin, has not gotten better. Also, please pray for my mother. She has an extremely bitter spirit, with an unforgiving, spiteful attitude toward anyone who does not live their life the way she believes they should, even if they never hurt her at all. Example: Her boyfriend was married to an abusive alcoholic. His work had him travelling out of town all the time when his kids were little, leaving his drunken wife to abuse them freely. Now, as grown adults, they don't send their father cards or visit on holidays. Yet, when one of his grandchildren graduate from school, they invite him to attend. Mom assumes that their reason is so Dad would buy a gift, or give the grandchild money. So, Mom is angry and hostile about this matter. Their mother is passed away about five years now.
As a therapist, I can understand their behavior, even though I don't excuse it. My own mother rarely took me to visit her mother, nor send her cards. Her mother was a rageaholic who abused my mother so much, Mom ran away to live with her father at age 13. Yet, my mother lacks empathy on anyone else who may struggle with their parents when they are adults.
Mom needs the Lord, and I am not sure she will ever get her relationship with Him right.
Sorry to babble. Mom is in town, and I am really concerned that she may not have much more time left. Her physical health is not good at this time.

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Hon know that I am praying for you! I know it must be scary, just remember how much you've learned about yourself since the last time you relapsed. Keep staying close here and get back to AA as soon as you can, you know it helps, besides there are people there that need you too! God bless you are always in prayer.

Hi Karen,
Sorry I have not been posting the In Touch devotions. I am having trouble copy/pasting them the past few days.
Praise: I got to spend a lot of time with the Munchkins today, and last night. These kids are such fun, and so sweet. Lincoln is learning to talk, and tonight, my Mom taught him to say, "Mine." She also taught him to look possessive when he says it. Oy ve.
Prayer: I am concerned about my long term use of Percocet. I abused Vicodin during my relapse in January 2010. I have the potential of abusing the Percocet, because the pain in my foot when I walk is constant, and sometimes just unbearable. Taking the low dose of Percocet barely makes a dent on some days. I am missing AA meetings, and avoid visiting family if there is no place for me to have my foot elevated. I barely walk the dog. We have two places we can do long walks at, and then two places for short pit-stops. On a good day, weather permitting, I can hit the good spots once or twice, and then the pit-stops the rest of the times. On bad days, I only take him to the pit-stops. My dose of Percocet has been increased by the doctors, so I am not increasing it on my own.
Please pray for me. I am terrified of relapsing and drinking again.
Hugs,
Trish

Glad to hear the visit is going good so far. That must have been a thrill for the kidlets!

I am praising the Lord for a nice dinner with my daughter, the Munchkins, my Mom, Sister and Nephew. We took a walk after dinner, and my Munchkins walked past the firehouse at the corner, and the firefighters gave them play firefighters hats. These wonderful firefighters give Utley dog biscuits when we walk past in nice weather.
Please pray for my Grandson. He has a terrible case of the hives, and it is spreading. His pediatrician told my daughter, on Saturday, that it was probably a reaction to an antibiotic he was on. He has been taking Benadryl, but it does not appear to be helping. I think my daughter should take him to a doctor here, but she does not see the point of that.
Also, please pray for my Mother. She has had an upper respiratory infection for almost a month now, and only saw her doctor after being sick for over a week, and has not improved, after a full course of the antibiotic. I told her to talk to the doctor, and she would not.
Sorry to be so long.
Hugs,
Trish

My praise today is that I had all the saline taken out of my band and it already feels better. It hasn't been a fun thing having a band, it hasn't been effective at all. So pray that I don't go crazy and eat everything that's not nailed down. Jump in and add your praises and requests so we can pray for your needs too. God bless! Karen
