Feeling Nudged!!

This morning as I prayed asked the Lord what did He want to teach me today?

My devotion was titled 

Reconciliation

And immediately my sister, Joanie, came to mind

As I mentioned many times in my blog,

Joanie has chosen not to speak to me since 2008 and only a few times

before then since 1990.

Yet again, this morning I am nudged by God 

to reach out to her one more time.

This blog is the only way I have to communicate with her ~

so this morning I say again

Joanie...I don't know what I did or said that makes you hate me, makes you choose to isolate yourself from your family.  

I can't fix anything, I can't address the issue

you speak to me.

You have my email and you know you can contact our niece to get our phone numbers

but as they say

So once again,

life is too short to not spend time with your family.

You have two nephews who speak of you

and wonder what is going on that you don't want anything to do with them.

You have two niece-in-loves who I believe you would enjoy knowing.

And you have 5, FIVE, great nephews and nieces

who you would enjoy and see how they carry on the 

Nelson/Lockwood traits.

So once again,

I say,

I miss you, I love you

and I really wish

we could be friends and family.

Our parents are gone,

our sister is gone,

let's be sisters

like God intended.
