"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." Isaiah 40:31
Hello beautiful brides!
I recently shared how my Beloved Lord made a beautiful path for restoration (He restores and nothing is impossible with Him). Through a series of events, my Beloved led me to wait, then to wait some more while He continued to soften hearts and give me glimpses into what He was doing. Enough to know that I had heard Him correctly and to continue to wait, resting and trusting in Him. Not trying to do anything on my own.
My spouse's father and stepmother have not been a part of our lives for about four years now. My children, 4 and 5 years old do not know them, even though they live a few miles away. But through some really amazing pathways, my Beloved opened up the doors wide open, my spouse went from "keep my children away from them", to "yes! Please take my children to go see my dad!!"
Wow!! I would have fallen over if I didn't know my Love like I do now!
So, we (my Beloved Lord and I) took my children to my faither-in-law's birthday dinner at his home. The house was absolutely filled with my children's aunts and uncles and tons of cousins. Even my older son went with us!
All the children flocked around my oldest son, they had missed him so much, they used to follow him around everywhere. My son took all the cousins outside to play flashlight freeze tag in the dark. And I watched my younger children get so much love from their family.
My daughter quickly found her aunt, and never left her side. They played for hours! My youngest son joined in with his cousins playing cops and robbers, and it filled my heart, he's always wanted to play with other boys like that, now he has 5 friends who love to play!
The whole time, I felt the peace of my Beloved with me. I was not anxious being around all my spouse's family, or even cared about what they thought of me at all.
I was free from all that, and was able to just enjoy small talk, big talk and all the moments in between.
We stayed long after everyone had gone home. Everyone was enjoying one another and it was so sweet to me, to see the care the grandparents had for my children.
How good is my Beloved that He led me to this place?!? I cannot believe how perfectly He did it and watching it happen was an honor and blessing beyond belief.
Dear Raza, I am glad that Our Beloved has given you this opportunity and that your children will enjoy their family. I feel touched because my children have not seen their paternal uncles and grandparents for many years. I know that Our Beloved works and everything will come in His time.
He is so great and shows us that He restores even more than we think. Praise be to Our Lord.
Thank you for sharing precious Raza, isn’t it wonderful when our Darling Lord makes it happen, He is the Best Ever! Wow nothing is really impossible with our Darling Lord. How special that your father in-law could see the children and that on his birthday.
Hello Rasa, thank you so much for your post. I went to my partner’s family for a funeral and I was so happy to see everyone there. My children were reunited with their cousins. It was just wonderful to see them reunited, as well as all my husband’s family. It’s so wonderful to see how God is restoring families and our children at the same time.
