GOD is Good!

Rest assured.  I don't care what you have been trough or what you are going through, GOD is with you.  He is right there leading and guiding you in the right direction.

Trust Him!  Pray for Him to take all that fear and hatred away.  Dare to love.  Love your enemies.

True, you may have some enemies that you can not trust.  Stay away from them, don't hate them.  Do pray for them, do pity them.

I was in college, I think it was junior year.  I came home to visit my grandfather.  That was my custom.  My school was only sixty miles away, in Greensboro, so I came home often to help my mother, to take care of my grandfather.

This particular time I drove home.  One of her boyfriends let me keep his car.  I drove to the VA where my grandfather was hospitalized for some ailment.  He suffered with very bad health in his declining years.

I walked in the room and I was shocked!  I saw something that shook me to my socks.  My mother was standing there talking to my grandfather.  She had on a white dress.  One like those sanctified holiness sisters wear in church.  She had on an old wig, a white turban and a hat.

There was no doubt.  My poor mother had lost her absolute mind.  She was reading her Bible and spouting scripture.  I knew that she had finally completely lost it.  Her young fine husband had left her, left her for good.

She deserved to be left because she was a fool.  Violent, ignorant, vulgar, whorish, combative.  He was much too young for her and he couldn't take it.  We understood.  We couldn't take it either.  We did because we had no other choice.  She was "ours".  We were stuck with her.

She knew how to behave in front of people.  No matter how insane she became we could never pin her mental illness down.  An insane woman too smart, too clever to be caught "crazy".

I cried.  I felt so sorry for her.  I wanted to help her but I didn't know how.  We all wanted to help her.  My granddaddy tried to help her.  We all failed.

My grandfather made me promise to always help her.  He knew she was crazy.  He knew something went way wrong many years ago.

It took me many, many years and a lot of heartbreak to figure her out. Demonic.  Demonic plain and simple.

Jesus said from such stay away.  I will stay away.  But, I pray GOD's goodness and mercy.  If you have a "fool" in your family don't let them run roughshod over you too long.

I know that GOD is working this out.  Dear LORD may my entire family come to know your Gospel truth, trust you and love you and give up their awful shame.

Be abundantly blessed.  Stay in His WORD children.  Remember;"apart from Christ you are nothing."

May GOD's Grace, Mercy and Truth engulf and cloak you in Perfect Peace,
