A breakthrough

Last night was very hard for me. I couldn't sleep, so I got up and drove around for a while. On that drive, for the first time ever, I was able to offer up truly sincere prayers for my husband's lover (any prior prayers were usually along the lines of "Lord, don't let that manipulative whore ruin anymore lives). I prayed the Divine Mercy Chaplet for he soul. Then, I asked God to put someone in her life, a friend or husband, who would lead her to Him. Although my husband has always been a good Christian outside of this event, he couldn't have been that person for her, because leading a soul to heaven is a very intimate experience, and he should never become that close to another woman. I pray that how we handle this situation can be a witness to her of Christian charity and love (that doesn't mean giving her everything she demands, but responding without trying to hurt her). It won't mean much to her now, but maybe it will someday. I acknowledged last night that God loves her too. God wants her to get to heaven. I need to keep praying that God will give her someone to show her the way, for her sake, and for her children's. I believe that God weaps when he sees single mothers. God never wanted that for anyone.....

You are the most generous person I have every met.
I agree, God didn't want that for anyone...
