The unexpected

I called my parents to talk about the time of the meal on Thursday. My dad after we finished talking told me that my brother,his girlfriend and their child will be joining us. I was a bit set back by this.

A bit of history. My brother and I have been on odds for about a year. We don't talk and never see one another. When his girlfriend had their child he called me to tell me. I said my congratulations but then asked him about his other son that is living with my parents. He has completely abandoned this boy of whom I love dearly. He was upset that I asked him about it and told my mom that he didn't want anything to do with me or me with his other son because I made him made. FOR WHAT! I merely asked him something that he was avoiding that's what.

I have yet to see this child he has with this girl,he was born over the summer. I have not met this girl yet. I'm the only one in our family that has not met her and the baby. Yes you bet I'm hurt. I have been praying for the Lord to help me through this. If they show up here for the Thanksgiving that my hurt and bitter feelings toward this whole ordeal doesn't spill over and ruin the holiday for my children.

I'm trying to be the lady in this situation and be above the situation,it's just not easy with all that has gone on. Who knows maybe this is the Lords way of mending our relationship.

Let the Lord lead!

God Bless
