Requesting prayer and offering prayer for dysfunctional family members!

A year ago my wife and I were blessed with the purchase of a new home!  Only our second such purchase in 45yrs!

As such, we in our hearts wanted to return blessings to the Lord!  We took in a middle aged woman into our home rescuing her from living in "shelters" and on the street!  Turns out that she never knew her father, ergo I have become a father figure in her life!

Recently due to a great amount of dysfunction within my family, our granddaughter and great granddaughter will now also be living with us as well! Our newly accquired home is filling rather quickly!

Trusting in the Lord's leading and provision as we attempt to reflect God's love in times of need!  Asking for prayers of support during these trying times as we stand in the gap emotionally, physically, financially and spiritually!  Thanks!

Ever looking for his soon return!

Also lifting a young man before the Lord who was also raised in a highly dysfunctional family!

That he come to know the Lord personally and that the Lord's favor rest upon him!  His name is Yaro!

Asking the Lord bring personal blessings into his life as well!  Thanks!

TR, I have gone that road and still walk it in a few respects. My Father (before he past away) and Mom live with us; My daughter went through some very rough years and her and her two daughters lived with us for about five years. Over the years we have had various family members stay with us for long periods of time. It can be stressful, yet you are right == thanking God for giving us the opportunity to show His love and mercy is such a blessing, it far outweighs the human struggles.
Praying this woman and your daughter/granddaughter see the glorious gospel of our blessed savior magnified through your love and protection.

:prayer-hands: for your home ministry safe haven care house as you minister to not only your grandchild and great grandchild but to the non blood strangers you have open the doors to as well.  May the Lord bless you and your wife as He provides the provisions and the strength.  And may they all come to a saving knowledge of Jesus, if they haven’t already!

God Bless you, TR, for opening up your home. Now I know why the Lord granted you 3 air conditioners. 😉

In all seriousness, may your home be an ark when all around seems to be chaotic and stormy.

Praying the Lord to draw them to Himself & open their hearts that they may know their loving Heavenly Father

Again, once our prayer for the Rapture is answered all else will not matter!
