My step-dad is rather disparaging

Have Kitty Mittens pray for him!

YES! KITTY MITTENS! THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL.

Actually, my blood dad, Faires and my step-dad Howard are both way overmuch that way.

Howard has a pretty good relationship with God and usually seeks to behave in a Christlike manner--though seemingly making an exception in his relationship with me, on that score. Sigh.

My blood dad . . . much more at risk health wise and a much poorer relationship with God though he had one in his teens. Doesn't communicate much or well. And is physically hard of hearing as well as relationally hard of hearing! LOL.

All you feel led to pray about them, for them and my relationship with each would be wonderful.

How my Heart and Prayers Go Out to All the Hurting Souls on this Thread! The Things I've Read Here Make my Own Trials of 2 Years Seem Minor by Comparison. O Master, how we Pray that the Divine Power of the Highest will Grace Everyone in a Mighty Way, Bringing All Things Needed; Healing, Comfort, Strength, Salvation, and Peace. Grant Restoration, Grant Blessings, and Shower these Dear Ones with Thy Love. Ease the Pain in Every Hurting Heart, O Father our Great King. Bathe them in Mercies from our God. O You Who Cherish our Tears, Replace All Mourning with Your Grace.

"O God, have Mercy, for I am Trusting in You! I will Hide Beneath the Shadow of Your Wings Until the Storm is Past. I will Cry to the God of Heaven Who Does Such Wonders for me. He will Send Down Help from Heaven to Save me, becuse of His Love and His Faithfulness." (Ps.57:1-3)

Thank You, our Abba, for Help in the Midst of our Storms. We Love, Praise, and Honor our King, Praying in His Majesty's Name, amen.

Dear Quix, May the Father of Blessing grant your two earthly dads to have hearts blessed and full of Shalom, that the overflow of their mouths will speak forth life and peace, nurture and health and joy. Our Father, this must be a miracle of Thy Grace in Jesus Christ! Please work this power - a heart united to fear Thy Name, bellies full of love and joy, dead men of flesh walking in the Only True Life of Holy Spirit, into both of these men - so that the overflow spills out into our FRiend Quix's life, and he is blessed in seeing Thy Hand at Thy Work, and these lives transformed, because Jesus Lives and His Blood ever intercedes, amen.
