MY HUSBAND WANTED A DIVORCE BECAUSE I COULDN’T GIVE HIM A SON. BUT WHAT HAPPENED NEXT CHANGED OUR LIVES FOREVER.
Just to remind y'all, we already have 5 DAUGHTERS and it's super hard for me to manage everything because my husband is ALWAYS at work and never helps with raising them. He says that a man can't be fully happy if he doesn't have a son and HE WILL NEVER BE REALLY HAPPY UNTIL THEN.
It has been a very hard year for me, it’s been months since I’ve seen Steve happy. I look over the kids, I prepare food, I clean the house and on top of that I have a part time online job. I try to do everything to make him happy.
One late night, when a simple conversation turned into a full time argument, he just lost it;
Me: Steve, these are matters that only God can settle, I know I am forty, but if you want we can try one more time.
Him: Shut up already, we’ve been together for 16 years and you couldn’t bring me a son, what makes you think you will do it this time.
Me: But Steve only God…
Him: ONLY GOD DECIDED TO PUNISH ME WITH YOU AND ANOTHER 5 FEMALES. I wish I could go back in time and change everything.
At that very moment, we heard a noise behind the door, but when I went to see, there was nothing there. We didn’t think much of it. But the very next day, our lives changed.
It was 6pm and by this time Lisa my oldest daughter (12) was always at home. This was so unlikely of her. As we started to panic, Sara my second-born came crying with a letter.
My husband took it from my hand and opened it. The moment he started reading it his eyes went as wide as possible, he was pale as a ghost, when he tuned to me and said… ⬇️

This morning during the communion service we baptised and welcomed Georgia into the family of the church seen here with mum and dad Susannah and Christopher. Our love and prayers for the future.

A prayer for the Holy Land which has been endorsed by Archbishop Hosam Naoum, the Archbishop in Jerusalem:

O God of all justice and peace,
we cry out to you in the midst of the pain and trauma of violence and fear which prevails in the Holy Land.

Be with those who need you in these days of suffering; we pray for people of all faiths – Jews, Muslims and Christians and for all people of the land.

While we pray to you, O Lord, for an end to violence and the establishment of peace, we also call for you to bring justice and equity to the peoples. Guide us into your kingdom where all people are treated with dignity and honour as your children – for to all of us you are our Heavenly Father. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Apologies to those who have had the Melbourne benefice bulletin today, I forgot to change the time of our service tomorrow on the front cover, it is 9.15am Holy Communion not 10.30am If you know of someone who might be attending please pass the message on. Thanks
