Bringing this one over here onto our MilitaryLUVdOnes board.

 

Nikki, please if you can, let Dan know that we are praying for him & his unit, AND for his kids. That's soooo sad about what his wife did to him, not to mention what she's now done to those poor kids. How devasting infidelity & divorce can do to ALL members of the family, in particular to the kids. (No wander that God says in His Word that He hates divorce. It truly RIPS apart the flesh of the hearts that were drawn together as one.) I know. My DH's family went through it over 30 yrs ago, & let me tell you: Time does NOT heal ALL wounds....those wounds of the heart just get buried underneath layers of dust, & it doesn't take much for a wind to blow by & stir up & reveal old feelings of hurt & betrayal.

 

You know, I feel really compelled to also pray for his wife, that the LORD would wake her up from this "lie from the pit of hell" that she's been stuped into believing. Grass isn't always greener in other pastures or on the other side of the fence.... cuz more times than not, when you get to the other side of that fence, you're RUDELY awaken to the fact that THAT grass was really nothing more than artificial turf!! Smoke & mirrors..... POOF! Also, that they would BOTH be reconciled & for a COMPLETE HEALING of their hearts & minds, & of their souls & spirits. God the Father is a God of Love, Healing, & Restoration in more ways than one. Don't take my word for it, though. Check out His Word for yourself!!    

 

Thanks for sharing this need with us, Nikki.

From: <NOBR>nikkigordon</NOBR>  (Original Message) Sent: 7/18/2005 12:07 PM I received an email from a very dear friend this morning, who is deployed to Kirkuk, Iraq, that he is being sent to the front lines. He will be taking over his platoon in 3 days, and has one last chance to call before he goes. He only has three months until his unit comes home, and I am scared stiff for him. He's Army, and they are an armored unit, so they see a lot of action. Please keep him and his three kids in your prayers. He has been there over a year and it has not been a good one. In February his wife filed for divorce while he was home on leave, and is now taking up with a man who used to be his friend. Now,this. He is proud of what he does and doesn't complain about going to the front. Please pray for Dan and his men, that they make it through the next few months unscathed.
