He is 23 now. When he was 18 we had to give him an ultimatum. It was awful. We prayed & did everything we could to meet him without compromising what God expected us to hold as the standard. He left. I will never forget him saying "It's just so hard, Mom" he was talking about doing the right thing. He had been doing the wrong thing so long.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, we have had moments of joy since then and moments of crying out to God. We continue to love him, & I continue to declare God's word over him. <BR/><BR/>I am grateful that the same God who watched my husband & I will & does watch over our son. <BR/><BR/>My heart goes out to you, I know this is a long & painful road. Don't get weary! Love NEVER fails!<BR/><BR/>hugs & prayers,<BR/>mariaShe Rose Uphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04468898873508947166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1979718059516665913.post-89547876979966147562008-01-25T06:02:00.000-06:002008-01-25T06:02:00.000-06:00Wow.

How are things now? I pray that the Lord watches over your son, that he pursues him with tender but strong love that breaks through wherever it is needed.A Captured Reflectionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07375557556508701793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1979718059516665913.post-7706155570134472762007-02-06T09:24:00.000-06:002007-02-06T09:24:00.000-06:00((( hugs ))) to all of you with prodigals...my hea...((( hugs ))) to all of you with prodigals...my heart breaks for you. And I'll pray.<br /><br />Sharon, I posted this on my blog for you - I thought I'd post it here so you'll see it (I hope that's okay): <br />Hi Sharon, glad you've popped by here. For me the change happened when I studied 'The Lord's Table' (link is on this blog) and began to see what the bible says about eating, our bodies and gluttony. I also learned that God gives us the Holy Spirit to help us overcome our desires and realizing that (even though I knew it as a spiritual fact, it wasn't a heart fact) made it easier for me to say 'no' to the things that I wanted but didn't need. No, I haven't obeyed always but knowing that I have someone very big on my side made it all easier. BTW, The Lord's Table study is free to do online. <br /><br />Visit again! Dee <br /><br />God bless!ADasahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964809093643110074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1979718059516665913.post-46643029139297237042007-02-05T23:07:00.000-06:002007-02-05T23:07:00.000-06:00We too pray for Michael, that God will turn his he...We too pray for Michael, that God will turn his heart toward Him and home.<br /> I too have a prodigal son although he is grown now. I have hope when I think about all Ruth Graham went through with her son Franklin. Don't give up praying; where there is life there is hope.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1979718059516665913.post-87128941889120686302007-02-05T16:07:00.000-06:002007-02-05T16:07:00.000-06:00My prayers are also with Michael.
