Prayer for My Sister in Law

Two in as many days. I guess I'm setting a personal record on this blog.

Well, my sister in law is going through a rough patch. She's a single mother in need of a lot of prayer right now. She and my mother in law had been living together, but due to some issues that make mother in law unbearable to her daughters at times, they've parted company. The issues are legitimate reasons, not my sister in law being unreasonable.

Due to this she isn't going to be able to afford her present housing. My wife asked me to pray about us moving and renting our present home to her. We could rent it to her for $200 less than her present situation and she would have reduced utilities. The electric bill would be the same but we have a well and no gas, so it would eliminate about another $300 from her budget.

Needless to say I'm praying about it and need God's answer.

What is interesting is that the issue in the previous post is even more important now because that is the only way that I can even afford to do this for my wife's sister.

Lord, you know my heart. Please help and guide us. Give us our petition, please.

Thought I would let ya'll know, My sister in law is getting help from one of her brothers.

He is divorced and on disability. This and his love for our mutual neice and nephew give him a good heart for the situation.

Needless to say, he moved in with her and takes care of the kids as well as helps with the bills.
