I am going on my 4th year of my daughter not speaking to me . I have prayed , begged for forgiveness and anything else on the earth . It started by me wishing her daughter happy first birthday and how the lord has blessed us so . She had a little girl born too soon that only lived for 7 days , and a miscarriage a couple of years later then little gracey came and was a miracle . The reason we dont speak is beyond me . I got a text from her that morning say thanks a lot for taking upon myself to wish gracey a happy birthday before she did and all her friends were messaging her why didnt she wish her own child happy birthday before me , and it all went downward from there . I miss my baby girl and I have a 2 year old grandson I've never met . I'm getting old and tired and just want peace in my family so I keep praying she will realize I just love her

Hi Luci,

My heart goes out to you. I don't have any answers for you, but I feel with you. Relationships can be so difficult, especially within family, and when you have no idea why. It sounds like you only meant well, so I'm sorry it went the way it did. 1 Peter 2:20 is a real comfort: "For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God." When you suffer after doing well, and take it patiently, God notices and will give you His grace and power to carry on! I will pray for you and your family. He only wants the best for you!
