I want to thank you so much for your prayers. I can see how God is working and maybe you can see it, too.

Husband came over on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, while he and oldest child were sitting on the patio, a large white dove-like bird was sitting on the roof next door to us facing in our direction. Our oldest daughter took a picture of it.

On Sunday, since I was too sick to take the kids to church, oldest daughter called her dad to take them. I said I doubted he would take them but I was wrong. She called him and he said yes, he would take them. She then asked him if he would go to church with her and he asked why and she said he was her favorite parent. Husband asked if mom heard her day that and of course she said yes, but that she did not care. He told her that he would attend church with her someday but not this day.

Much later in the day, I told him I heard that conversation. He thought I was coaching her on what to say to him and I let him know that I do not coach them, they say what they want to say to him and it is their words, not mine. Then I asked him if if occurred to him that maybe his kids miss him.

Later than this, he took the girls and they went grocery shopping. He hasn't done that since he moved out! I thanked him and then he went his merry way.

He is coming over on Tuesday night, will be here with us on Thanksgiving, and will mow the lawn and help the kids decorate the Christmas tree next weekend.

One more little note: The girls told me that when he put the groceries in the trunk, he had what appeared to be all of his stuff in there--clothes, etc. and even his work clothes, they said.

I find this odd.

I think the court thing has him coming out of the darkness so to speak.

Psa 23:5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.........

Joh 6:32 Jesus then said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.
Joh 6:33 For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

Thank You Lord.

Heavenly Father, it is unto You that we return with praise and thanksgiving, for You are working in the heart of this wayward husband and father. Let the Spirit of Conviction fall so greatly upon his heart that he can do nothing but turn to You for cleansing and healing, seeking Your blessed forgiveness and the forgiveness of his wife and children. We ask that You do a mighty work in their lives, O Lord, and that You would lead them in the way they should go, for You ever seek to guide and guard Your precious lambs.

Especially watch over Mom's health in these days of anxiety and stress ... grant unto her rest by night and strength by day, that she would be able to accomplish the tasks at hand. Give confidence to their children, for You are the Mender of Broken Hearts and Shattered Lives ... may their trust and faith be fully in You.

To You, O Lord, be all Glory, Laud, and Honor, now and forevermore, Amen ...
