Karen, I know how you feel and my heart goes out to you. My daughter took my
2 grandsons who we had sheltered all of their lives and did not let us see
them for 3 months. We had done nothing, but disapprove of a young man whom
she started seeing before her divorce was over. This was her second divorce.
I prayed constantly all of this time. I got some good advise from two dear
friends. One said to learn to put it into God's hands and leave it there. I
had been giving it over to God, then taking it right back, with my own
attempts to bring them home. I had not realized this and was trying
everything. The second said that God had allowed this to happen in order to
teach me how to pray and to pray more. I know that this was true. I soon
found myself praying almost all of the time. God somehow told me that they
would be back to us in 3 months. I will tell you that on the 3 month
anniversary I was getting very worried, but continued to pray. Three days
later I had my grandsons back in my arms and a couple of weeks later she and
they were coming to visit. Her relationship with this young man continues,
they now have 2 sons, but at least there is a closeness between my daughter
and myself. I pray daily that God's will be done and work out her life to be
as it should be, she is saddles now, with 4 babies and very little money.
But I know that God will work it out. I just am here to help out in any way
He wants me to.
You will have your family back. Don't make the mistakes that I made. God
will work it out if you keep praying and give it up to him. He will let the
parents see what they have done wrong and send them back with a different
outlook.
You are in my prayers. Another grandmother
