We have court this week. Our grandchildren's step mother, who they call Mom, has been given orders for a move to South Korea. My husband and I will have to say that we think it's best for them to move there with Dad and Mom. Our daughter, M., while she loves her children, is just not fit. It kills me to say this and my heart is being smashed. Last year, Dad was given custody with M having supervised visitation. She only saw them twice in about 9 months until she found out about the move to S. Korea. My husband and I had to take out a restraining order against M last year because she called the police and told them that I was a danger to myself. Imagine my shock when the police came and had to bring me to the ER so a doc could check me out. He said I was fine but that it sounded like my daughter was not. The next day, the police were back. M called and reported my husband, her father, for animal abuse. Now you all don't know him but my husband is, if not the kindest, then one of the top 10 kindest men in the whole world. She violated the order the other night when she called me in the middle of the night. In the past, she tried to strangle me and she swung a cast iron bed rail at her dad. I wish I could make you all understand how painful this court appearance will be for my husband and for me. We love our daughter. We have to put our grandchildren first though. All they've known since they were born is chaos. They need to be on the other side of the world so that they can get some stability in their lives. Anyway, sorry for the novel. We need strength and courage. Please pray for us. Thank you
Prayers please

Father, thank You that You are a God of peace. Jesus, we know that You leave us with Your peace. I ask it now in Your name for this family. Let Your peace intervene and still this storm. Grant M's parents Your courage and strength to protect their grandchildren. You have not given them a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. Let Your Spirit guide them through their day in court. Give them favor with those in authority to do what is best for their family. Grant their daughter peace. Rebuke the storm within her and still her heart to hear Your voice. May Your peace bring comfort and confidence that You know the heartbreak M's parents feel and that You have everything in Your control. You work out all for our good no matter how dire the circumstances. Allow Your son and daughter a glimpse into the hope and future You have planned for them and their daughter and grandchildren as a fully restored family, and let Your peace rule in their hearts and carry them forward. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen. "You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You" (Is. 26:3). May God bless you and your husband, fren.
Amen.
Hugs and thanks, MudPuddle.
