Weighing heavy on my heart is the struggle between family members over the possessions of their parents who recently passed away. While I am pleased that I spent time with my grandparents during their lives, gave them their only great-grandchildren, and have many memories and photos of our times together, my heart aches for the family and the ugliness that is carrying-on over what remains of the estate. I am fortunate to have parents who care deeply for others, yet I wonder how these others fell so far from the tree. My only conclusion is that the heart MUST be touched by the Holy Spirit to be fair, to love unconditionally, and to not hold grudges against those who harm you. Oh, it is so hard to be human and Godly at the same time.
Lord, make my heart yours. I cannot find understanding in people and their ways.
While I could ask you to pray over the situation and that justice is done, I know it is more important to ask you to pray for the hearts involved and that they know Jesus and feel His love.
God gives comfort. This was in my inbox today:
But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
-- Matthew 6:20

I love that verse. We'll be praying for the family. I hate how so often death does bring out the selfishness in people.
