Pain

Brian's dad (Don) has prostrate cancer. The relationship between our families has been strained to put it mildly. Don was scheduled for surgery today. Brian called yesterday to find out what hospital, how he was feeling, to let him know we are praying for him.

Brian was told by his mother, he is no longer a part of the family, he is not welcome at the hospital and he has disgraced the family.

So, my kind gentle husband who loves Jesus so much is hurting. How does one deal with that kind of rejection. How does a parent turn their back on their child, especially when they claim to be a Christian?

There are very few people who have more of a servan'ts heart than Brian. He will put everyone else before himself. He has more compassion in his little finger than I have in all of my body. Yet I know God will use this to further refine Brian as he continues growing in the Lord.
