Thank you Lord that you have the whole family safe in your hands: whatever you allow is for a reason and for a season - all things turn to the good. May God's love and peace surround you all, may your grow closer to the Lord, and know that He knows your needs, concerns and is able to do abundantly more than we can ever imagine.
Just thank God it isn’t worse than you have described. Once her debt to society is paid. I pray that you all may view it as just that. A debt paid. So this lesson learned can be seen as a milestone on the road to great success and prosperity. God bless, stay strong.
I think your daughter has been taught the lessons she needed pray for her and her family God will show them the way....... When the Lord gives you a spanking there is a reason.....Your daughter and her family will be fine.....
Wise words tweety...these are the essentials of life!
We are lifting all of you up in prayer! Our Father is constantly refining us through the happenings in our lives. Such an immense blessing that the couple in the accident was not killed or seriously injured, you SIL came to Jesus and Christina is no longer drinking and attending AA.
God's Tender Mercies will see you all through this season and your grandchildren are blessed to have you in their lives. Children are resilient and this may make a positive impression on them so they will never drink. SO many good things may come from the lesson like the ripples from a pebble...go into the future to provide more blessings!
Regarding her health, please see if she would be willing to take Ivermectin or Fenbendazole when she is back with her family.
As you know, the consumption of alcohol is promoted from many different directions and it's all to keep us in a stupor and unaware of how we are being manipulated. Alcohol causes many problems and encourages the spread of parasites in the body which when gathering in large numbers is identified as "cancer".
Resetting her body to be free of any "influences" will help her feel better, avoid the temptation of alcohol and help reduce the future risks of cancer.
My first wife was killed by a young woman who was using alcohol to deal with the stress of being arrested at her place of work because she had been demoted for showing up late too many times (her employer testified it was because of drinking) - this all came out at the trial. My son and daughter were in the car also and it was a miracle they lived. My son lost one of his legs from the knee down and my daughter is blind in one eye - they were 3 and 6 at the time.
After the trial the woman's father came up to me and blamed me for his daughter being sent to prison for 90 days. That's all she got, 90 days for killing my wife and seriously injuring my children with life altering disabilities. The father got my name from the court records and showed up at my house and tried to set it on fire, but he was too drunk to pull it off and my dogs attacked him, he wound up running off and then crashing his car into the ditch outside my house and getting arrested. He wound up in a treatment program and got no jail time.
The young woman who killed my wife was released after 72 days for good behavior and for doing well with a rehab program. The night she was released she drove, with no license, to a bar and got wasted, then proceeded to crash her truck into another family and killed all five of them.
She got 25 years after that wreck and it's awful because if she'd been sentenced to life for murdering my wife there would be an entire family of five still alive right now, but a judge had to go easy on her even though she had previous DUIs and documented work issues with alcohol.
Hopefully your daughter learns her lesson. I was told by my lawyer that 90% of people who get into drunken accidents go on to eventually kill someone in a DUI crash within 5 years.
I truly hope your daughter is as well, and I will pray that she is that 10% that turns their life around, you and her both deserve that sort of peace.
I was an alcoholic for most of my life until my first kid was born. The day I held my first child was also the last day I ever took a drink. Most alcoholics need a very strong example in their life of not drinking. If you still drink, I'd highly recommend stopping immediately and sharing this with her. The more people around her that change their lives to help her will help her in the end.
I'm sorry you're having to go through this, it is awful to be on any side of this problem.
Sometimes the hardest, most painful lessons have the biggest blessings on the other side. They’re still hard tho.
Blessings, peace and strength to you all. And hang in there. Tell Christina there’s a bunch of strangers praying for her (and fam) in addition to her church family.
I often see social media posts asking for the Lord to take away all of our miseries. I don't respond to these, but think that our miseries should bring us closer to God. When our sons are experiencing difficulties, I wonder, What if THIS trial is the one that will bring them closer to God? So my prayers for those suffering, is that they feel the Lord's loving arms around them during their time of sorrow and pain; and that if there is a lesson to be learned that they are fast learners. God bless you and your family in this time of trial.
One night I dreamed a dream.
As I was walking along the beach with my Lord.
Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,
One belonging to me and one to my Lord.
After the last scene of my life flashed before me
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that at many times along the path of my life,
especially at the very lowest and saddest times,
there was only one set of footprints.
"I don’t understand why, when I need You most, You would leave me.”
He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you,
Never, ever, during your trials and testings.
When you saw only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you."
Yes. Someone sent this to me when I was in the midst of a journey so painful, I saw no end to it in this life. It pulled me out of soul destroying darkness and kept me trudging forward.
My Dear Tweetie, this is heartbreaking but I know our Dear Lord Jesus knows how nice she really is and how much of His Love she needs and desserves. I will keep praying for her.🙏🏻💐
God has given her a mighty testimony, her shoulders must be strong.
Lord surround this family with love, peace and strength for all they are going through and all to come. Let Christina's story lead her, her husband and children further into your light. May she use her testimony to glorify you and help others.
Tweety, I know your story as it is in my family as well. We are a little further along in the timeline, and just know that God's glory is shining through my former addict!
I am sitting in your seat right now but with no one hurt. Tell your daughter to ask for Mental Health Court if it exists in your state. Also tell her to ask for help from everyone she is linked to. Prayers to you and your family. I’m raising 3 as a senior citizen for her and she’s been gone since Thanksgiving. Her trial has again been moved, this time to July. I don’t have the heart to tell her.
I’m praying for your child, as well, and you. I’m praying for your grandkids, too. Please, God, make the paths straight for mutti2’s family. Please let the court get this issue dealt with so that Mom and kids can be reunited, and mutti can take a break to do the things “seasoned” people do. In Jesus’ name we ask these things. Amen.
Your reply has brought tears to my eyes. It’s been rough. Really rough. But it will never happen again. I will post more about it. Hopefully it will help the other family as well.
Matthew 18:19-20 New Century Version (NCV)
“Also, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about something and pray for it, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. This is true because if two or three people come together in my name, I am there with them.”
I prayed and asked that your daughter not be away for one more day, than her penalty required. I also prayed for her very strong young boy, who showed the courage he knew he needed to show. I prayed that he not get burdened with coping like a man, because he is her son, and she needs them to get through it.
God, don't ever let him think he needs to drink to get over this when he is an adult. Bless him for being a courageous young boy, full of love for his mom. God don't let this traditional family be apart for one day longer than her penalty, that would be a crime too. God hears this...let your daughter know...we have her back! I am proud of what she has accomplished with this trouble and setback. All after caring for humans at their most difficult point of our human journey. I could not do her work....nope....I could not. God will bless her...and much good is coming to her for being the strong godly person she was born to be. Amen.
I pray for her overall well- being. She will be protected from all harm. She will be with her Creator in peace during this time. The time will go by quickly for everyone involved. Amen.
These are my favorite posts - building a prayer warrior team and we do it quick and we do it with compassion because we are Anons and that's what we do.
I am very sorry as a mother of 2 adult sons that your daughter put you through this, she owes everyone an apology. Sorry but I can't sympathize with someone that injured others in a car accident especially a social worker. She should loose her license to practice. I DO hope she learns from her mistake and lives a sober life.
It's very difficult for me to have much sympathy for people who choose to drink and drive and then get upset about the consequences of those actions.
I was hit by a drunk driver the summer after graduating high school and it has impacted my life horribly. I almost lost a leg, have had metal pins and rods placed in it and have had around 9 surgeries on it over the years, and I still need more. I've had to have my hip replaced because of complications from limping for so long on that leg.
I'm 46 now. I've been dealing with chronic pain from that car wreck for almost THIRTY YEARS. Add to that both short term and long term memory problems from head trauma and neck and back problems caused by the wreck.
I had to delay going to college because of being in the hospital and then going through re-hab. I was a scholarship student before the accident and after it I have trouble remembering simple things. The career I was hoping for before the accident never panned out because I couldn't handle the academic courses because of my memory problems.
The money I got from the accident barely covered the hospital bills from the first hospital stay. It certainly hasn't paid for all of the additional surgeries, hospital stays, doctor visits, physical therapy, or medication costs I've had after that. I would estimate that all of those have cost me around $100,000 over the last 30 years just in co-pays.
That doesn't even touch on the quality of life issues I've dealt with like having to cope with living with chronic pain for decades. And unless you've dealt with chronic pain and the issues surrounding it, you really can't understand how debilitating it is. I've missed out on so much of my children's childhoods because I was hurting too much to play with them, or go for walks, or kick balls, etc...
So it's never as cut and dried as "Oh, they got money from the accident so they'll be fine."
At least I never had to deal with having to listen to the drunk driver who hit me complaining about having to spend a few months in jail because he died at the scene. So thank God for small mercies, I suppose, because if I had to deal with listening to him complain about having to serve a few months for essentially ruining my life, I'm sure I would have been homicidal.
So, yeah, that's why I think it's in bad taste to complain about having to serve a few months for hurting others and endangering lives of innocents for choosing to drive drunk. I don't care how much anyone tries to rationalize it, it's just the epitome of self-centeredness and disregard for the lives of others.
Never forget that His Grace is sufficient. God's plan for you is still there, regardless. It's His plan that works, even evil, into the majestic accomplishments that are to bring Him glory. Prayers that you may find His plan for you.
Tweety, your daughter has been in and on my heart since this whole thing began. I did a lot of private hospice work, (five people, including my mom), and it’s hard, emotional testing and always the pain of loss at the end, with the relief that they are no longer suffering and are with God. It’s bittersweet. I’m praying that all goes well in the detention center. There are a lot of helpful classes and counselors there. Dear God, please be with Tweety and her family through this test. Help her son-in-law minister to the needs of his children and strengthen his faith. Help Christina get useful help at this time. We ask all these things in the name of Jesus, our Holy Savior. Amen.
Let this be a teachable moment in your daughter's life. Trust me, recovery and a good life is possible, I'm living proof of that. DM me if you want to know more.
Thanks, I'm just doing what AA calls me to do, our Primary Purpose: To stay sober and help other alcoholics achieve sobriety. Old timers helped me, so I'm just passing it on. I'll keep her in my prayers.
God bless and take care of both of these mothers in their time of need. Help this family to weather this storm. Bless the poor little children as they try to make sense of it all. Lord we know your plans are greater than we could imagine.
It takes a lot of courage to open up and share like you just did. May God bless you and your family with his full body armor and unlimited strength to get thru every day.
I believe alcohol is used by some to quiet the mind. The mind is constantly racing with troubled thoughts. She needs to learn to veg out and quiet her mind. After she is home, arrange quiet time where the only stimulation is the visual beauty of nature. Have her close her eyes and just think about a blank blackboard. A bonus is that the Holy Spirit often communicates with us when the mind is quiet.
Prayers for all of you. My mom used to say the worst pain in the world is watching your child in pain and not being able to do anything about it. She took responsibility and is rebuilding her life. Your daughter is blessed to have good family. God always makes a way. ♥️🙏🏻♥️
Thank you Lord that you have the whole family safe in your hands: whatever you allow is for a reason and for a season - all things turn to the good.

I know a mother's heart for I have one.
I have a grandmother's heart as well. And lastly, I have a great grandmother's heart as well. I am truly blessed.
You pray so very clear and comforting.

Thank God she has a loving, supportive Mother like you! Just think so many people have no loving people in their lives...tragic!
Thank you for your sweet words dear tweety! I know this Mother's Day will be a challenge but you are strong in The Lord and He will see you through.
I loved the songs you posted! 🤗
I know and our magic pixie dust is PRAYER! ✨🙌
Jesus did not preach and help the healthy, I will pray.
