Debra,
I am new to this list. My name is Kim and I have seven children.
Ages 27, 23, 17, almost12, 10, 8 and 6.
I don't know the circumstances of your situation but I went through a similar scenario with my husband a couple years back. In trying to fulfil the law,
we suffer. I don't know that what they do is always truely in the best interest of the family regardless of what happened. I too was very discouraged at
times. The worst thing was that when my husband finally got out of jail he went back to live with his girlfriend and still does.
We are still married but have been separated for various reasons for almost five years. He has said he wants to come home home.......
But he has been saying that off and on for almost five years.
All I know is that God is and has always been faithful. Even at my most discouraged He never let me forget he was there! I began wearing a ring as a wedding
type ring but it had a spiritual signifigance to me.
That while my husband was gone or even if he never came back this gold band was and is a reminder to me that the Lord would be my husband and the circle a
reminder that His love NEVER ends!
You and your family are in my prayers,
Bless you,
Kim 🙂
