In January of this year (2004) my step-dad passed away, He had been my step-dad for 52 years, my Mother had passed in 1995, and he continued to call me his daughter.....At any rate, I have a step-sister, (she was adopted) but that made no difference, we always called each other sisters'.....I was 15 when we adopted her so she was kinda like my own kid,....A lot happened prior to step-dad's passing, first of all, he had signed his mobile home over to my husband in November 2003, and my husband's name was on the property as co-owner......Now to shorten a bit, My sister tried to first take the property from my husband, when she found she couldn't she started after the mobile home, her intentions were to bring 2 of our neices and 2 nephews to here and take everything including what was nailed down.....of course there was a big to do over it, I packed things that had belonged to our parents and sent them to the Church (that they had attended when they were alive) now as far as my sister is concerned we are dead to her, we supposedly sent her junk, which some was, BUT, most of what we sent was things that had belonged to our parents and I did not keep a lot for myself, as her daughters were in the "WILL" of step-dads to receive his personal belongings....(now, since he had already signed the home over to my husband, nothing here really belonged to him anymore, and we did not by law have to give anything to them or her).....Now the whole family is mad at us won't speak, nothing.....My husband's sister goes to the Church that our parents attended and said IF my husband and I started to go to Church there, she'd quit, well after a few months of tossing it around, and speaking to the Pastor about it, we decided to go on Easter Sunday, and have gone every Sunday since (except 1) she hasn't left yet and has told people about the problem in our family.....This is my Prayer request, that GOD will open a door that we can at least speak in Church, or even a hug, when time for huigs are there, we Love the Lord and want to worship Him in a respectful manner, but it is such a HINDRANCE" being there knowing that she doesn't want us and has out and out lied about us to others to try and sway them from having to do with us......Now one more thing I must tell you, My Mother and I were married to brothers, (this is how my husbands sister is involved) I don't know why she had to get involved because none of this concerned her, and it was her "2" sons that were coming to rip this home apart....I'm asking to be prayed for in a way that GOD will open the door for us to clran out this mess, and go on with our lives, they need their hearts to be spoken to....I have gone to our Pastor and ask if he would go with me to her and ask her directly what I have done to her, he says we'll pray about it first, which I agree, only GOD can change us IF we let him and only GOD can make a way for this to come to a closeuer.....I don't like to be selfish and request Prayers for myself, so with this I will ask for Prayer for all of us, Thank You and God Bless, In HIS Love, Mar

Thank you Lord. We ask for peace within this family. Help them to love one another, preferring each other over themselves. Supply every need for each and everyone of them. Keep them safe and in good health in Jesus name, amen and amen.
