I have difficulty with this one and a heavy heart because in this ONE case, this is a result of BAD ADVICE being given to her and her not having the WISDOM to know better. My Grandmom, who I LOVE dearly, has very weird ideas about things, one of those things being MONEY. She definitely has the LOVE of MONEY on some level, although I feel badly saying this because she has been SO generous with me and I do believe that this is the LORD's MERCY and GRACE being poured upon me thru my Grandmom. She is NOT a SELFISH woman, she is extremely giving, kind, caring and patient about being paid back. My issue is that she encouraged Wendy to do something VERY bad, and now has severe guilt about it. My Grandmom is one of these people who thinks (WRONGLY) that if someone looks at you slightly, and you don't like what they are doing, that you bring a lawsuit against them and get big bucks for yourself for nothing. She even thinks if you have to lie to get the money for yourself...that's ok. I STRONGLY DISAGREE!!!! The place where Wendy is living, one of the uncle's of a friend of hers who took her in got her a job in trying to help her out. She didn't like the job (because she does not like ANY job that she has) and so she turned around and accused someone there of sexual harrassment and my Grandmom was encouraging this if not instigating it. Now, a place where Wendy was living FREE of rent, in a nice neighborhood, is no longer an option for her to live as this family wants NOTHING to do with her because of her actions and disrespect. I cannot say that I blame them. NO LOYALTY whatsoever!!! No matter what the situation, she could have left on her own and then just got something else and have been done with the situation and all would have been fine, but NOOOOOOO!!! So...I cannot blame Wendy entirely on this one and it reminds me so much of the Sins of the Fathers and Grandfathers (and mothers and grandmothers) that those sins will fall upon the later generations. My Grandmom JUST saw this on Joel Osteen yesterday but she just ignores it because for some reason she is unable to take responsibility for this stuff and just acts like nothing because of it. I get frustrated at her sometimes because of this nonsense about suing and how racist that she is, but my Mom has said that it's important not to say anything because it will NOT do any good. She is absolutely right!!! It makes me sad, DEEPLY SAD that my Grandmom would ever say such things but it makes me even SADDER to think that Wendy would be so careless to not know better. Wendy's infection is getting worse and she will now be out of a place to live as of today and no where to go. They will NOT accept her in the shelter because of the infection. I pray that the LORD have MERCY on WENDY and please send his angels to rescue her. I PRAY for her SALVATION and that she finally see the need for the LORD in her life and that she begin to take life SERIOUSLY. PLEASE LORD heal her and make her well. PLEASE LORD forgive my entire family for the horrible unloving and unkind thoughts and for the selfishness and greed that they may have in their minds. PLEASE LORD forgive me for any anger and bitterness and resentment that I may have at them that I have not surrendered to you. PLEASE heal this entire family LORD, and PLEASE HEAL my GRANDMOM of the hatefulness in her heart that she has at other cultures, races and people for being different and having different views. I THANK YOU LORD for your GRACE and your MERCY!!! Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers!!! Please keep Wendy in your prayers as she is in such need and no one knows quite what to do about the situation. Thank you!!! IN JESUS NAME I PRAY, AMEN!!! |
