Today I posted the first ever letter to my Father. Please pray that he will read it and respond. I have waited nearly 42 years to finally contact my father.

Oh, the emotions that must be running through your heart, your mind, the all of you!  Bless your heart.

I will pray.  You have waited a very long time.  How far away is he from you?  I was wondering how long it would take for the letter to get to him.

Oh, my!

I will pray.  I'm interested in the questions Nita asked.

Please keep us posted.

He lives at the top end of Queensland just off the coast. I live down in South Australia in the semi-bush. I estimate since it was a public holiday about 4-5 days to get to him. So maybe he would get it Friday or next monday.

I truly hope he has been able to respond.

Much love and prayers.

No letter or response has been recieved from my father, but then he has been silent for 41 years so I guess things wont change overnight. He could have contacted me all these years and just never tried, so I don't know what will spur him on now, that is except prayer. I will let you know as soon as I hear anything.

And, if you hear no response at all, rest in the comforting knowledge that because of your love for God and for your father, you contacted him. Then, you may wish to do what I did quite a few years ago about something that was WAY too big for me to handle. I simply prayed the Lord's Prayer and really thought very hard about the word "as" in the phrase "And forgive us our trespasses AS we forgive those who trespass against us." Then, I held my cupped hands out, palm up and said, "Father, I humbly ask You to take them from my hands into Your own. Please get ready...here they come." And, then with tears pouring down my cheeks, I turned my palms down, hands fingers stretched out straight and dropped them into God's loving hands. Oh, how wonderful it felt to leave that situation with Him.

He resolved it in His own good time, and I've had peace from the torment I felt earlier.

God's loving arms are about you. Don't feel you're alone. And, just imagine, your Brother His Son said that you're now His Father's child. Rest your head on His bosom and let Him, your Heavenly Father, comfort you.

AMEN Ruth Ann  amen
