~ Children In Heaven ~ 2 Cor 1:3-4

[Faith&Hope]

Update
I went over there to talk. Bad idea. My intentions were good but it ended up with her and I arguing, my son defending her (what was I thinking) during the conversation I brought up how hard it was losing Mario and not seeing Marc much, she says to me" you always throw that card" are you kidding me? who says that to a mother who has lost a child?? You always throw that card .My point was, I lost one son and felt like I was losing another because we dont see Marc much anymore. She has said hurtful things in the past as well. She told him "I can't deal with your mothers drama". What has she ever lost??? I'm done. He can live his life with her because she makes him happy. I will pay the price because he won't come over if she's not welcome. He can't see it because he is hanging onto her for dear life after losing his brother, instead of turning to God. I told him people can let you down, dissapoint, but Jesus will always be there. Please pray for Marc and my family. Haven't we been through enough. He doesn't even see his sister anymore. She's 18 misses Mario and now her and Marc arent speaking because of his gf. It's really a mess. How can one person cause so much damage. She is selfish (trust me, long story) and everythings always about her. Lord help me.

Obviously, selfishness is only one of her issues. I'm so sorry. I'm praying that God will open Marc's eyes. You're right--you don't need this after what you've been through. I wish I could change things for you. I can't, but I know Somebody Who can. I believe He will, too.

I have no doubt that Mario is with Jesus right now and we all will be there soon. Don't question your faith, Sweetie. You know you are right, and the Truth will set Marc free, also. I'm sending you a whole buncha hugs.

Thank you I sure could use them about now.

I believe ther is power in prayer. I pray the veil will be lifted and marc would turn to the only ONE who will bring him comfort and peace. Thank you Jesus.

Scatty, :hug I'm so sorry for the loss of your precious son Joe. I lost my 24 yr old son Mario, Dec 22, 2007. It's still very fresh, especially for you. May you find comfort, support, prayers and much love from all who post here. This is a special place we can come for prayer or just "let it all out" from others who understand. It's a place we can share our good days and our not so good days. A place of fellowship and blessing. A place for encouragement and Hope. One day.... there will be NO MORE TEARS. Our Hope is in Jesus. Our Faith is in Jesus. Our strength is in Jesus. Our children are WITH Jesus. What a reunion that will be!!

Thank You, Jesus.

May these Steven Curtis Chapman lyrics bring you comfort.


With Hope
This is not at all how
We thought it was supposed to be
We had so many plans for you
We had so many dreams
And now you've gone away
And left us with the memories of your smile
And nothing we can say
And nothing we can do
Can take away the pain
The pain of losing you, but ...

We can cry with hope
We can say goodbye with hope
'Cause we know our goodbye is not the end, oh no
And we can grieve with hope
'Cause we believe with hope
(There's a place by God's grace)
There's a place where we'll see your face again
We'll see your face again

And never have I known
Anything so hard to understand
And never have I questioned more
The wisdom of God's plan
But through the cloud of tears
I see the Father's smile and say well done
And I imagine you
Where you wanted most to be
Seeing all your dreams come true
'Cause now you're home
And now you're free, and ...

We have this hope as an anchor
'Cause we believe that everything
God promised us is true, so ...

So we can cry with hope
And say goodbye with hope

We wait with hope
And we ache with hope
We hold on with hope
We let go with hope

Thank you--I appreciate you sharing this with me.

Lisa,
I am so sorry your visit went this way. But I am glad you got to tell your son that Mario had reached out to God himself. I know that the thought that his brother is in heaven will make him strive to get there too. Sounds like aside from being selfish his gf isn't a christian; so thats not good for him. She wants him all to herself but she doesn't know anything about what he really needs right now (Christ).
The letter you found from Mario is proof that he was reaching out for Christ, does Marc know of this letter? I'm so glad you have it anyway.

My son for the first 4 years didn't know if his brother was in heaven. He believed in heaven but wasn't sure his brother was there. But since then the preacher has talked to him and he understands more now. He didn't know enough about God's love and what the word says to know for sure. He doesn't talk to me about any of this stuff, I hear it from dil, I wish he would but he doesn't. (Guess I'm only the mom!!) I know when you don't know these things its a horrible way to live... and I pray that God puts someone in your son's path that will open his eyes. I really hate that his gf can't see... but it sounds like she can't see too much further than her onself.

You will always be in my prayers and I'm so sorry you have to go through this. I'm emailing you too. I wish I could fix it!! :hug:hug

Thank you all for your prayers. I love Natalie Grants, In Better Hands.
Smiling Down posted above also brings me comfort.
Continue to pray for Marc. gf mom is into astrology, "signs" doesn't sound good.
Just another thing he doesn't need to be around.
It's all been too much. I give it ALL to Jesus. I trust that what is intended for evil will turn to good. Thank you Jesus. I place my son in your hands Lord. YOU are in control Father. Not Marc, not his gf, not me, but YOU.
Have your way in this situation Lord. In Jesus precious name, Amen.

Agreeing in prayer sweetie. God is in Control!
