Subject: dinner with Christopher


> Well Guys,
> We had Chris over for dinner again last night.  It was our last chance to 
> have the whole family together for a while, with Matt leaving for Michigan 
> on Monday morning.  Everything was very peaceful, but Chris's life still 
> has a lot of turmoil  in it.  He will be moving out of his current living 
> situation on Monday to another place where, hopefully, he will be living 
> by himself.  He's still in the Life program so many of his living expenses 
> are still covered.
> The roommate that he had been with, along with the roommate's girl friend, 
> baby and cat, just ended up being a really messy situation.  In fact, this 
> roommate was supposed to be evicted for violating the program's conditions 
> back on May 15, but evidently, the program doesn't have much teeth, 
> because nothing has changed.  The girlfriend has accused Chris of stealing 
> and has even called his place of work, to accuse him of stealing movies 
> and so forth from the store.  I don't know what the truth is.  I'm not 
> foolish enough to think that my dear sweet Christopher is totally innocent 
> in all things.  I'd like to believe that, but I know better.
> Before Chris went home last night, he came into my bedroom to say goodbye. 
> I took his hand and asked him if I could pray with him.  He consented.  I 
> prayed for God's blessing and for truth.  That's the best I can do.  If 
> Chris is innocent, then I pray that the lies will bounce off and return to 
> the sender.  If he really is stealing, then I pray that God will deal with 
> him accordingly to bring about repentance and the righteousness in Chris 
> that God desires to see.
> Chris also went down stairs last night to make a special effort to say 
> goodbye to Matt.  There's another relationship that really needs some 
> healing.  Matt put up with a lot while he and Chris roomed together in our 
> old moble home and Matt isn't usually too anxious to see Chris when he 
> comes over.  I know that Matt is a bit nervous about this job out in 
> Michigan.  It's only a summer job.  After that, he has no clue if he will 
> come back to Maine or try to stay out there.  I know that this is all part 
> of growing up.  I'm doing my best to keep my mouth shut, unless asked, or 
> ask if I can offer advice before just blurting it out.  It's hard to be 
> more grown up and see answers, yet respect the fact that my adult children 
> need to learn from their own mistakes, as I did.
> Please pray for Matt as he heads out this Monday.  We are praying that his 
> relationship with the Lord will really grow this summer.  Please pray for 
> Chris as well, that truth will out and that God's justice will be 
> satisfied.
