Anybody out there?
I have been wondering about broken relationships. So many factors seem to contribute to the fallout between people, but what exactly can be done to restore what once was? There is an angry incident and then the seperation begins, many times without an explanation, many times without any hope for reconciling. Time begins to work on the split and this is where we find ourselves right now...hating the hurt and the divide and the way that life goes when it goes bad. Wondering if a call or a letter or a visit would be the appropriate thing to do or just hoping and praying for God to intervene and in some miraculous way change a heart, influence a way of thinking and turn the people who once loved each other, actually the love has never stopped, back to face the sin, the riff, the conflict and try to cover it with grace and forgiveness and let the love be restored. So here we find ourselves not knowing what to do. Waiting, praying...moaning in sorrow and hoping for a better day. How many folks are going through these kinds of challenges? Do you think we could do something to heal and restore the broken hearts of so many? Please help me to figure out how to move forward...the times are hard. Let the truth be known.

You are all in my prayers at this very moment and will continue to be. Wish we had some great advice or insight but at least we can pray. God knows what he's doing even when we can't see what the heck is going on from our perspective. We love you guys.

Hey Mike! I came across your blog and thought I'd comment. I do have a relationship with a brother that is quite strained. I've finally made the decision to not agonize over it and let God take this burden. It still hurts on occasion but then I remember who my trust is in...God, not my brother. I can feel the Peace. I believe the relationship can be healed but it is going to be in God's timing, not mine. I'm not sure this is what you meant but that's my story for what it's worth.
Shelly, thank you for your words of encouragement and prayers and Janine, thank you for your counsel and it is in God we have all our trust and hope for reconciliation. Give my best to Lowell and the kids. Great to hear from you.
