Dear Brothers & Sisters,

I had a real breakthrough with one of my sons, yesterday - I have been praying about my relationship with my younger son, mainly because he switched from being a clingy infant to being totally detached and distant, overnight. My other son remained warm and close, so I grieved the loss of my younger one’s dependence, feeling that as I was no longer needed, and actually I felt completely rejected, I had failed.

It’s not the case - it’s just the process some of us go through, before coming to appreciate each other more fully and it takes two to lose communication. Well at long last, we have contact again!! (We do live under the same roof - but it may as well have been at either end of the galaxy - this fits in nicely with what happened!)

Anyway, last week, praise Yeshua, both my lads went on holiday - and both returned safely. Now this to me is a miracle in itself - one went to a music festival, and one to Ibiza! They’re 18 now (twins) so I can’t really tell them what to do - I can only offer advice - but they both said the same thing - they were both offered everything - from drugs to my older son’s friend also being offered a good time with a lady, for money, if you catch my drift. He refrained.

Both sons said that what ever you wanted - it was available, and my younger son said that the drug dealers have started mixing up the chemical compounds of certain drugs, and the hybrids are now legal. Both sons said they did not take up the offers. Either way, they both went out into the world - where it appears that “everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial.” (1 Corinthians 10:23).

At the same time as they returned to the nest, my husband has gone back to his home town for a few days to catch up with his family. His sister is undergoing tests as she has found a lump in her stomach, so naturally, he wanted to go and give her support. He is spending time with friends too. I know that he’ll come back next week and ask if I missed him, and he’ll tell me how much he missed me, and we’ll both be glad when he’s home. I’ll prepare his favourite meal!! Family and friends and spending time together mean so much to us - and also Yeshua - I can’t wait to see the Wedding Feast that is being prepared for us in Heaven! It must be such a relief to Abba when we make the decision to spend eternity with Him, back home, rather than in the world!

Back to my younger son - we were watching a programme about space and we were talking!! He told me he finds it incredible how I don’t believe the theories about how space was made, and how old and big it is - when I do believe that everything was made by G-d in 7 days!! People forget, it was 6 with a day’s rest!! He says they can estimate how old stars are, and by taking photos at different times of the year, they gauge how far away they are. They ‘know’ colours mean what elements they are made of and what will happen next. But, he explained - there is room for a huge margin of error. He talked about ‘matter’ - and that ‘the big bang’ is where all matter came from - so where was it before the big bang then! He also said ‘your G-d is made up - anyone can write a story down and create a god and make it stick.’ Really!! We laugh throughout - this is the breakthrough for me!!

When I was his age, I took Philosophy in which I learnt that a monk once said that to be perfect, a god would need to exist. ‘My G-d is the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last’ I told my son - ‘and you won’t change my mind - ever!’ But he got me thinking - my G-d is I AM, and He most surely does exist - before all other things including even matter, He existed because everything was created through Him. Scientists are finding that the order in which things came into being is indeed just as described in Genesis 1. All they need is the missing piece in the puzzle - the cornerstone, to hold it all together.

I love Psalm 19 - ‘How clearly the sky reveals the glory of G-d, the sun like an athlete runs its course from East to West, all creation sings His praise, declaring each day to the next - how clearly the sky reveals the glory of G-d.’ Can we paint as good a picture, as our Lord does a sunrise or sunset or a night full of stars?

I’m so glad I know the Cornerstone of all creation, and what’s more that in all creation, there was no error made, by my Lord - what a pity to come this way once and not know the truth - I hope and pray that my son will find the missing piece, too. The same goes for my husband. They just don’t know what they’re missing out on - yes - everything is permissible - but not everything is edifying. Once you’ve seen what is on offer, but realised that there is a better way - then the Lord’s word (Yeshua) will surely be “a lamp for your feet and a light for your path.” (Psalm 119;105) There’s nothing the world can offer that comes close. I pray for all my Brothers and Sisters with family and friends who are still in the dark. Let’s pray they see the light of our bright Morning Star.

Isaiah 28;16. Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will lay a stone in the foundations of Zion, a tried stone, a corner stone, a precious stone, founded in the foundation. He that believeth, let him not hasten, he who rests on Him shall not have the shame of disappointment, nor flee in sudden panic.
Amen and Shalom, Beloved.
