The Power of Prayer!

I have been asking god for an answer for a long time now. It has to do with Jeff's family. We currently are not speaking to his father and his new wife...because of the new wife and her actions towards me and Jeff...her vial words towards us to others and so on. So we have not talked to Jeff's aunt aka godmother or her daughter aka Jeff's cousin Robin in years...I mean years because we meaning everyone thought everyone was mad at everyone...because of the new wife. So I have been praying for months on this. I think it is a shame that Jeff and his sister don't talk to their only cousin. She has 3 beautiful boy and 2 of them are the same age as Jeff's sister's children. SO today my prayer was answered...but not the way you really would want it answered.
Robin's FIL passed away. Here is the strange thing. Robin's husband Dave and I use to play together when we were babies. His mother use to baby sit us when my mother would work from the time we were 2 until 6. Long story short...Robin, Dave and I went to high school together...I didn't know Robin but I of course knew Dave. When Jeff and I met ( through a personal ad) we were talking about high school and he asked me if I knew his cousin and her boyfriend at the time and that is how I knew that Jeff wasn't a killer and went on a date! LOL
Well...i am sad to say that Dave's dad passed away...I was looking in the paper and saw his name. Well I called Jeff and asked him if it would be ok if I called his Aunt to find out what happened. He said fine...So I did and we talked for about an hour! We are planning on getting everyone together soon...Including Jeff's mom! I am so thrill and saddened at the same time! I feel terrible that we had to re connect at such a sad time.
Jeff and I are going to the Wake tomorrow afternoon. This will be the first time we have seen his cousin in almost 4 years! Way too long! So never underestimate the power of prayer! After speaking with Jeff's mother...who i love and adore...she is all for us getting togther! So I am hoping we will be able to all see eash other...kids and all real soon. I thank god for giving me the strength to make the call after all these years. Maybe they will be at the dedication of the baby! Wouldn't that be just wonderful.
Have a blessed day!

Way to go - bringing loved family members back into your life can only mean good things. Tell Jeff I am proud of him for having the courage to say ok (well and to you - you did call after all). I am so happy for you. Even though it is a sad time for the family, I believe death,as life, doesn't happen with out purpose.

Philippians 4:6-7
