That's all you can do, by yourself.<br /><br />But remember that you can still pray for her. And put her name on the temple roll when you're inspired to do so. <br /><br />I always feel like the main thing I can do is listen for promptings and act upon any that come my way. <br /><br />=)Susan Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16049586085703324088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7062606307866863736.post-90370331324315547392011-01-25T05:19:05.289-08:002011-01-25T05:19:05.289-08:00I Corinthians 14:33 tells us that God is not the a...I Corinthians 14:33 tells us that God is not the author of confusion, but of peace. Give this entire situation to Him...then, if He leads you to take further action, do so...otherwise, just continue to pray for her and her husband and little boy! HOPE this helps a little!

You're fee...I've been in the same position. You're feeling this way because you are a "Carer" and some sadly in this world are not. As 'carers' we do the best we can do, care as we would want to be cared for. However, there are times when people don't want to be 'cared about or cared for'. Do the best you can do without hurting yourself. In time, if this person wants to be cared about, she will thank you for your caring ways and come around.. Follow your heart and the rest will fall into place..Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00277644929694492015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7062606307866863736.post-50745336704850343022011-01-25T04:59:48.597-08:002011-01-25T04:59:48.597-08:00Pray Pray Pray....and pray some more! Ask God to ...Pray Pray Pray....and pray some more! Ask God to show you what He would have you do. Maybe sending a card saying that you were thinking about her and praying for her today would be a good way to start. See what happens. Unless she lets you in or unless you see with your eyes that the child is being mistreated, there is probably little you can do in the natural except pray for her and continue to try to open the lines of communication with her in small ways. She may enjoy the attention. Sadly that happens.... You will do the right thing.Candacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16327344027557036250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7062606307866863736.post-49563528663386585512011-01-24T23:08:30.057-08:002011-01-24T23:08:30.057-08:00Frustrating isn't it?
