However,I've been thrown a fast one and I am trying to get self out of the way to be a proper vessel;but it's painful.I have 3 grands.Two have a relationship with their dads and one does not.Each Christmas one leaves to spend Xmas with their dad. It's painful but we adjust.Mom has decided to leave the other two because she's stressed and wants to have christmas eve with me and disappear.She won,t even say where she'll be. After 34 years of marriage her dad and I divorced ;so it's up to me to provide joy for the other two.One is 11 and the other 15 months.Any advice?

Yes, it can be depressing when our focus is on the circumstances, situations, and man. The devil is out to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came so that we can have life abundantly. Therefore let focus on Him(Jesus) for what He has done and live victorious. The joy of the Lord is our strength and that will keep our mind stable.
