Please pray! CAN WE SAY, COO-coo, COO-coo!

My oldest called - we are in the process of the third restaurant opening - some of you may remember the story where it all began. This is seafood, not hamburger/sub place. Anyway, so much so fast, lots of challenges. All I can say is decrement has gone strong through each move.

So last night, my DIL took the grand babies, 9-4 down to grand dads, he was totally drunk, needless to say the kids aren't there. Two years ago, he went though rehab, has been doing great. His second wife still drinks in front of him. She got into the doctors office, told him off that nothing is wrong. Told his sister she is just causing
trouble. Needless to say my DIL, got the doctor to admit him. She and my son are so upset. She's a strong woman, my DIL, but with everything else, well.

So then my youngest son calls, he's on his way to work. I'm hearing noises in my
garage, I finally hear my nephew, he's home to stay with me. Someone, I think her ex husband, threatened her, now she's in jail - something about a knife. Then somehow, this fruitcake, found my nephew and threatened him.

FOLKS, I DONT LIVE LIFE LIKE THIS, OR AROUND LIFE LIKE THIS!
Two hit in the same day? I was starting in panic mode, and it hit me, NO, WE MUST BE DOING THINGS RIGHT.

Our restaurants work hard to serve the community, they developed a "feed the People" program. In a year of opening, it was figured over 10,000 meals had gone out. It's just crazy. please say a thank you! I can't post this anywhere else, thank you!

"Where the Lord builds His house there the devil sets up his chapel."

These fiery ordeals confirm that our hearts are enflamed with the love of God and neighbor.

Oh my God, Thomas and everyone that has read or said a prayer, thank you! I have just had a four hour discussion with my nephew, his life and trials, God, so much, I don't know where to begin. What I know for sure is Our Lord is healing and restoring him!!! We were serious, we laughed, we cried, we joked, it was good!

When you are a four year old child, who drowns, the doctors said there is no reason for him to be here but God's mercy, I'm seeing it alive and growing.

Like Orthodox Catholic, I know I must run home to Byzcath for help!
I've not heard from my oldest yet about his FIL, but I will, and it will be good!
Thank y'all! Online, like so many here, I've learned praying with the prayers of the Church is the way to bring healing in the name of Jesus!

Yes, thank you!

Well the guy is in jail. It's another county, have no idea where.

The FIL is in rehab

So things are looking fine. You know when we look at the crazy, its not something normal in our life, we wonder. Out of all that chaos yesterday, healing came for my nephew, and peace for my DIL.

Oh thank you, kind sir!

It has been such a blessing to see this young man restored to life. By the time he was a young ten, he was encouraged by his family to smoke a pot pipe with them. You know, it's awesome how God takes things that are so upside down, and makes them right side up.
