My father passed away January 7th of this year starting my family off in a whirlwind. I can't remember what my focus in Christ is for this year. Usually, I listen for T.D. Jakes to inspire me on the up and coming year but my path is now distorted. My older sister took on all arrangements for my father's burial and did not allow my involvement in any of his affairs afterwards. It troubled me to think she would ever fall to anger and deceit for me in not at least paying for something. My concern was not that she asked but of her telling me not to worry about paying. I think by me not participating in making some effort in burial fees or bills it still hurt her more in my fathers absence. The turmoil now is that of inheritance she did not want me to take part in receiving anything and shoned me with phrases like, "Take your money and run" and "I am just going to buy you out on you half of things" like she is convienced that I really did not care. She feels that since no actions was made on my behalf there is no purpose of her believing that I will take care of the things left from my father. My prayer is that she see my side of things in that I do care but not in a way of meeting up to responsibilities or expectation that she have. I am a strong believer in God and I think what transpired was for her to take care of things due to thats what my father wanted and explained to us both but nothing else should be of difficulty in how things should be carried out.
 
Lord, I have seen this happen so many times, what should bring family together the most drives them apart. I believe it is just the anger and hurt of losing someone close and not truly aimed at the person they are hurting. Lord, I ask for this family to be drawn back together for his sister to realize that the pain and anger she feels is for the death of her father and should not be directed to others. Help them deal with this grief, draw them closer to You and to each other. Lord, I pray for peace in this family and for Your love to flow through them to each other. In Jesus' name, Amen.
 
God, have Your hand on this family and the families that are experienced the same situation. continue to flow Your Holy Spirit over them, especially today for sent Your son, Jesus, to die on the Cross for our sins. we thank, Father for You are in the midst of our lives. AMEN!
