I left Fred in a parking lot of our old Apt building. I told him to either sell the silver he'd stolen from me the last week or to sell one of the firearms he'd stolen from me in the weeks or months before and take them and sell them.
He had no response.
I feel responsible for Abandoning My Brother! Or I did.
Then...after months I realized he had also Abandoned me! There is no reason to morne his loss. No reason to seek him out.
He will do what he chooses to do. Whatever that may be. It is NOT my responsibility as to what happens one way or another. Fred will do what Fred chooses to do.
I've already called, written, everything I can do to contact him. He has not responded. Makes me a wee bit sad. But this also is His choice. And therefore His responsibility. If I abandon my brother, than he abandon Me at the same time or months before. I am at peace with this.
We are not to attach to anything or anyone of This world from what I hear. Hard thing to do. But it is a doable thing.
You are NOT a victim in anyway!
When you hear "God is with us". Believe it! It's absolutely true! Don't hide your self from it, deny it, think it is not You. This IS you!
I'd go on, but I'm a bit tired and should get on with going to bed. Think of the thoughts I've posted and their implementations perhaps. if you do that will hold you...

Hi Johnny,
ReplyDeleteWe have all reached out to Fred as best we could. Without response.
Sure, the move was traumatic; moving always is. And starting a new life is scary.
But the silent treatment???
There are better ways to handle this.
You do what you can and move on. It's hard not being understood with no chance to explain anything, but he has made his judgments so leave it at that and be at peace.
Love, Dad
But keep praying for him! Be ready for his return (and not like the elder son in Luke 15.
