Cindy Thompson's Journal, 15 February 2011

I'm glad things are starting to turn around for her. God Bless! 

Thanks Rune! I'm hoping that they will both grow up some and get the help they need in counceling. At least they are talking right now. That's a plus. Have a great day my friend. Love and Hugs{{{}}} 

I read somewhere that Marriage is falling in love over, and over, and over. May they keep falling in Love. TOWANDA!!! 

Thanks Lisa! My husband and I have been married 34 years this coming April. We have fallen in love over and over and over. Not that everything has been easy because it is work to keep a marriage healthy. For those of you who have gone through divorce it does not mean that you didn't work either. Sometimes when one person is doing all the work it doens't work. Have a great day my friend. Love and Hugs{{{}}} 

My prayers are with you & your family! I think it is so hard to watch someone you love go through hard times. Take care of yourself - GG 

Oops - almost forgot to say Congrats on your lost poundage!!!! 

Thanks GG! Your prayers are very much appreciated. Have a great day my friend. Love and Hugs{{{}}} 

Progress!!! A wonderful thing!! Marriage is tough, but with God's help, they will find their way. Praying for you and for them!! 

Evidence! God is hearing and answering PRAYER! Praise the LORD!! Thanks for the positive report on their progress, sis. 

Thanks SkeeterJean and Evie! You are right Evie...our prayers do not go unheard by God. Thanks for being there my friends. Love and Hugs{{{}}} 

Dear Cindy, that is so wonderful...I will continue to pray for them and their marriage. God is good! Love ya, my dear sis...big hugs to you!  

Thanks Stef! Your prayers are greatly appreciated. God is good all the time! Love ya too my dear sis. Hugs{{{}}} 

Sounds like they are really starting to think and work things out. Sure hope it continues to get better. Prays going your way. Hang in there and just be there for support. HUGS:) 

Thanks Laurie! This is only a start but I'm glad that they have started. I really appreciate your friendship. Hope that your day is going well. Give little Brandon a hug from me. Love and Hugs{{{}}} 

Cindy- Praying for the restoration of a healthy marriage for your daughter and son in law. Even the best of marriages become fragile from time to time. Communication is so critical, sounds like they are off to a start.  

Thanks Babs for your prayers dear friend. Hope that your evening is going well. Love and Hugs to ya sister. 

Cindy - that sounds like big progress. It doesn't sound like this marriage in not salvageable, one of my former friends had a girlfriend and her husband did this taking off with friends for a few months going out partying and he eventually stuck with his marriage and kids. One thing interesting I heard at the poetry group last night, one of the women said as we were discussing stuff that oftentimes people go into a relationship or marriage and put someone on a pedestal and it comes crashing down when we find out they are just as human as us. Later a real interesting topic came up - we can change in time, but is God able to change or is he always the same? The people are very intellectual there almost all older than me and the group is lots of fun and I plan to go as much as I can - blessings to you and your family and thanks for all the kind words too on my journal the past few days! :) 

I hope things turn out well for them. 

Thanks Glenn and Fledgist! I count you two buddies as two of my guy pals who I'm glad to call friends.  

Glad to hear your daughter is standing up for herself - in the old days, her father and uncles and brother or boy cousins would take the hubby out to the woodshed and smack him around to straighten him out - these days it is not politically correct to stick our noses into other people's business or smack people around (!) but usually outsiders have a much better picture and need to say "Straighten up and fly right, pal - you are a married father and not a kid anymore!" Having gone through many similar situations in my recently-ended marriage, the sooner he changes his attitude the better but it might be a long road for your daughter being the grown-up with an old child instead of a husband/partner. Congrats on your loss and hang in there with the grand-baby!
