I have been having pain in my left foot. I ripped some tendons several years ago, and the pain feels like that did!

Hope it feels better soon!

Still thinking and praying for you, Ryan! Hoping everyone's first day went well.

I found this cute little guy at the thrift store today. This is for serving a cheese ball, at only $2 I had to bring home home!

I love it! Great find!

Late in the evening
When everyone was sleeping
The father of a wayward son
Slipped out in the night
And looked towards the city
And wiped away his tears
And Prayed his son could hear his father's cry

Chorus:
Turn your heart towards home
Turn your heart towards home
You've been gone so long
Turn your heart towards home

But not only the sons are wayward ones
There are mothers and fathers
Who have said their goodbyes
And the sad eyes of children
Looking through their tears
Pray their mom and daddy
could hear their cries

There are those who have never walked away from home
But in their hearts they're so many miles away
And the Father in heaven is the only one who knows
And if you'd listen you could hear Him say:

You've been gone so long
Please don't wait too long
Turn your heart towards home

Thank you for sharing, Seawaters. Reminds me of a story I read...I bet you've read the same one...http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+15:11-32&version=NIV

That looks mischievous, Made. You up to something?

I fear Carl has been a bad influence on you and is leading you astray.

Morning folks! In the past here I've tried very hard to be here and be apart of the conversation but lately, I've just haven't felt much like being very chatty. Actually, I've been pretty sad and depressed for the past few weeks and It's really tearing me apart on the inside and my family on the outside.

My son (20) moved out the other week against my wifes and my wishes, to move in with his girlfriend of 6 months (21/22). It didn't go over very well and I am really struggling with this. I have always raised my kids to be close to us and to stay with us for a long while, untill they were stable in life. He's not, he gets 10 cents in his pocket and he wants to spend it...

His girlfriend is a spoiled little daddys girl (that my wife, my in-laws and I, do not like at all) and on top of it, her daddy buys her everthing she wants (he's a retired Lawyer and had his own law firm) and right now my son is living there at her townhouse for free, on his dime, sponging off of him and I'm peeved, beyond all means about this whole thing.

I love him still, I am upset at him, I want him back home, I loathe his girlfriend, but yet I'm not supposed to push him further away by lashing out for his actions....My wife keeps telling me to back off and it will play itself out but I haven't. I just don't want to let go and I am starting to drive her and my daughter bonkers with this whole thing, because I want to also punish him for hurting and not listening to us. Am I wrong for feeling that way????

I don't know really how to process all of this and I need some advice; I feel like a part of me has been torn away... :sad: Thanks~

I know this must be hard for you. I moved out of my home when I was 19, with my boyfriend at the time, but we were together for 2 years and had known each other for 3 years before that. We got engaged shortly after that and he's currently who I'm married to. We both had stable jobs and I was in college for my nursing degree as well. We got married when we were 22 and built our house a year later. Our parents both supported it, as my DH had to move out, to where his job was, for his job, and I would only 5 minutes or school from my college campus.

I can understand where you're coming from, being the fact they have been together such a short time and he isn't making any money for himself. I know as a parent, you want your children to excel and make it on their own, but you also want to make their own decisions. Being the fact he is an adult, you may just have to let him make his own decision and at this time and see where it takes him. If it is going to end bad, it will have been his decision. I hope this helps.

Keep coming back here - we'll keep you cheered up.
