My Family,

Along with the normal pressures and stressors of living a very busy life, I now have two urgent and different situations in which I am currently having to face and I would greatly appreciate your prayers during this trying time.

1-My two adult brothers and their dog are literally DYING from malnutrition as we speak (one was taken by ambulance the other day to the hospital for falling out (malnourished) while attempting to work at roofing (... in exchange for their one bedroom slum apartment that they share.)  I want to help them out by taking them food and some basics since they are too poor to help themselves (they have zero money (till the first of each month when one brother gets only a tiny sum of SS Disability money), no food, personal items, furniture, vehicle etc.. due to the heavy drug lifestyle that they chose to live over the past 30 yrs of their lives...they are in their 40's now and have barely have anything to their names...and no one to help them out except for a church that gives out one free meal on a daily basis and they must walk very far to get there since they are on the outskirts of town and have no vehicle!)  So, my DH (as well as my other siblings) refuse to help these two guys out since "they made their bed, let them lie in it and they have ignored all of our advise in the past."  My senior parents would help if they could, but they are barely making it themselves and yet they want to help and can't.  I do not want to usurp authority over my husband  and disrespect his adamant stance here (he thinks that they guys are still doing drugs),  (all of us have dished out ALOT of money, time, energy, patience, etc...on them in the past with NO THANKS, WITH ONLY DISRESPECT AND HARD TIMES GIVEN TO US BY THEM) but neither can I handle it if they died from me not helping them out.  I feel stuck and do not know what to do here...any thoughts/suggestions?  I am too emotionally involved to see things clearly right now I guess.


2-
2 wks ago I was in a truck crash that TOTALLED my truck (F150 Supercrew Cab...big truck...) as well as (the F-150) truck that the woman who pulled out in front of me was driving; thus I am struggling in different areas  and need some divine intervention here with the following...((we are now at home from the hospital and recovering, thankfully, and are ready to get back into our normal routines again...)
1-my 10 yr old and I both suffered head trauma's...the cat scans showed that all was normal, but I need to feel peace about this particular delicate type of injury...(as well as both of my knees as well as my leg (right above the ankle nearly broke, I have lots of pain and swelling still there.)

Also, the Police officer at the scene of the accident issued a NO FAULT citation/police report to both of us drivers, and clearly it was the fault of the girl whom did not yield while turning on a green light,  when I had the green light (I have been going through this intersection for 28 yrs now without a wreck...) I feel that the girl is lying and that the cop was not willing to put forth the effort to get my side of the story (I was whisked off in the ambulance while the other driver was not even taken to the hopsital), so he spent time with her and then took her word and now I am getting ready this morning to call him and ask him to change the police report since it will make all the difference in me paying my medical and gettin another vehicle bills or not! 

I must go see an attorney tomorrow to see if there is anything that I can do about this police report and it being her fault and not just a NO FAULT ACCIDENT; as well as that my Insurance agent did not do what I asked of him (to change my policy/PIP coverage to a higher amount this last summer,) and how I will be cheated out of what is due me if he doesn't make it right by me; Ugh!!!


thank you so much!
Blessings,
Susan

You have my prayers.

Regarding #1 it sounds like a living parable of the prodigal son, except there are more than one of these

(Luk 15:14)  "Then when he had spent all, a severe famine occurred throughout that country, and _he_ began to be having need.

(Luk 15:15)  "And having gone, he was joined to [or, hired out to] one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him to the farms to be feeding pigs.

(Luk 15:16)  "And he was longing to fill his stomach from the carob pods which the pigs were eating, and no one was giving [anything] to him.

(Luk 15:17)  "But having come to himself, he said, 'How many of my father's hired workers have an abundance of bread, but _I_ am perishing with hunger!

(Luk 15:18)  'Having risen, I will go to my father and will say to him, "Father, I [have] sinned against heaven and before you,

(Luk 15:19)  and I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me as one of your hired workers."'

Neither of them have reached the "blue" part in the story.

I think you need to show compassion always....7x7x7 x7 to the infinite.

I myself would provide minimal amount of basics to them but always with a note...that there is more if genuine repentance ever comes...

They must be have very stubborn personalities...that even in this bottom of the barrel state they cannot see how bad their choices have been. Perhaps their goal is to continue and blame their family and friends in the end for their ultimate demise.

Regardless of how they act...you show them love

regarding problem #2

Calmly explain the accident to the police officer, explain your situation and concerns. Then accept what happens...even the worse. You can also write to the person and explain what her carless actions caused in your life.

In the end we need to understand that all things work for His Good Will and not ours

In the meantime I will pray that you and others involved will benefit from your actions and faith that Father will provide for all in this circumstance and that He will provide comfort and support to you during these two trials and also I will ernestly pray for repentence for your two brothers.

beloved

Praying for God's help and intervention.
I have a sister that had a serious meth problem. The girl almost broke me, I said never again will I help her or anyone else that gets themselves in that situation.
God humbled me and I am thankful he changed me.
Only by the grace of God and I could have been in my sisters situation.
If they need food please help them accordingly.
