The hand of Mercy

Oldest daughter and sweet Indian boyfriend are breaking up, and oddly enough, this came because of a discussion about wedding rings. They'd not become officially engaged, he was planning on proposing for her November birthday, but it isn't meant to be. The cultural differences have had an impact, finally.  Three years of a dating relationship. Certainly didn't see a breakup coming.

But we feel more peaceful than we have in ages and ages. Even our daughter said the same, being that she's been keeping some misgivings to herself, thinking they weren't important. It's all important. 

And healing is coming regarding our son's relationship with his girlfriend. We're able to accept what we can't change, and love them through it, and it seems he's able to accept our differences.  We have a ways to go, but it really is all Grace. We're all bruised, but the love is there for healing.

As a result, it's a hot tea, buttered toast sort of day. Please pray for us.
