Anyway, to go onto addressing friendship issues. I know when I have someone who I care about, and suddenly I turn around and see them suffering very much, it tears me to pieces. Such is the case now with my Dad. Very much earlier in my blog writing, I mentioned a few times that my relationship with my brother is strained, and that I wish it were not so. Well, people get older, and the juxtapositions within relationships change, and my brother's self esteem has hit rock bottom. I realized this because of things I found out on the internet about him. But also because after the death of my mother, my brother has sought to work ruin for my Dad, and it is breaking my heart.
What do you do, when a close family member is hurting? When forces that you have no control over are working against someone you love? The only thing I know to do is pray. Be patient with your circumstances, and be patient also for your prayers to be heard.
Men are not bestowed with the same kind of patience as women have. If it looks like they're gonna lose, they very quickly get tempted to walk away from the game. But as one who has been given Eternal Life, I know that God goes on forever. God is the winner of every game, and those who have him living inside them, can never lose. Still, not everybody is as confident as I. But all of us only need to hang in there with everything. And realize that there's a whole other world within the heavens, one that is not at all effected by all the double dealing that goes on here on earth.
