I forgot the best part: My vigorous and enthusiastic thanksgiving to all here and especially the Good Lord........My daughter and son in law met us in Santee, to pick up the 5 yr old granddaughter; they are back together.
I literally got down with my son in law while we were "fishing", caught one all day,temperature on the lake was 95 degrees, and we drew up a contract. In exchange for 're-residency' certain things were drawn up and agreed to, we acknowledged that marriage is a 24 hour a day commitment. If my son in law does not live up to his end of the contract, my daughter can ask him to leave the house with 'written' 24 hour notice, and no arguments, intimidation or malice.
I know this is extreme but she accepted the contract and wants him to come back home. I believe that this is what it took to work things out.
Both parties signed the contract, it was dated . My son in law agreed to stop drinking, although drinking was never a problem for them. He's lost 20 pounds and looks great.
I have every reason to believe the Lord will give them a better marriage than they ever dreamed of or deserve. Thanks again for all the prayers. Do pray that the Lord minister to them. The strain has taken a heavy toll on them physically. And pray for Tailor Page, their 18 month old, what a handfull !!!!!! In Christ...gregor |
