to Jesus, because you'll never be able to control it yourself...it will take the love of Jesus within your heart to make the change in you and reflect that love to others....no matter what they say or do! The more you love Jesus, the more your temper will cease to rise up and cause trouble!

You let your brother-in-law be your "roll model" growing up, but now you can let our Father in Heaven be your perfect "roll-model"!
Reading and studying God's Word diligently will show you His truth and how to allow Him to guide your every step and speak what He would have you to do!

God is good and His forgiving grace is for you and also your brother-in-law! Seek Jesus with your whole heart, mind, soul, and strength and He will show you and your sister what to do for your good and for His purpose! :angel:

God Bless!

Dogface, I know you do not,know who I am. I've just started to use this forum,and I still do not know my way around the computer yet.I am not a real religous person,but I enjoy this forum,and I hope its ok ,that im not relious .But I do belive people, like your sister,have a very ,very hard choice to make. I can not find a good reason,why your sister should not leave this man,if everything you say is true about him.I do not read the Scriptures,or know what they say . But I know, There is never a good reason, for a man to abuse a woman,mentaly,or any other way.I will pray in my own way,for your sister,and hope she finds the strenght,to leave him,and to move on with her new life! " YOUR FRIEND" STUDS
p.s I HOPE YOU CAN KEEP,your cool,don't let old habits rule your life!!
 
:wave:Yes,brothers and sisters....I believe the Lord had me observe my brother-in-law all those years as an example of what not to do.This man terrorized me with his terrible rages directed at me and everybody else-I always dreaded the times when there was work to be done;and my mother would make me help him....:sad:My mother NEVER stood up for me during his tirades;either-Now I know;she was probably scared of him,too!!...Well,a good many times over the years I found myself becoming the carbon-copy of this man....fits of rage,screaming,throwing things.....:huh::sad:He has done a good job of alienating everyone close to him---It used to be everybody had to walk around on eggshells around him-you never knew when he would erupt.Even recently;the whole family had an uneasy feeling regarding up-coming family get-togethers;;;would he be in a good mood,or not???Let me tell ya,I DO NOT want to be remembered as the man that had a disposition that would turn ugly at the drop of a hat-the way my oldest brother in law will be remembered....AND,LET ME ALSO SAY:The time will come when I will tell him EXACTLY the way I feel about the way he has treated my fsmily over the years-especially his wife;my oldest sister...AND,I will tell him -and I WILL NOT resort to losing my temper to do it-but he will know how little I think of his discarding my sister like so much garbage-she has said that is exactly how she feels-NOBODY has the right to do that to another human being-especially one that has done so much for another.I am e-mailing my sister tomorrow and tell her how much I love her...AMEN...

Even though this looks like he's uncaring on the surface, he may just be trying to, in his own way, keep your sister from the pain of seeing him wither away from the cancer. Sometimes people do strange things which seem perfectly logical to them. I'll be praying for his salvation and for you as well. I have the same problem with temper ans satan sure knows how to push my buttons!

it is forever too late! I believe you are seeking Jesus whether you know it or not, since you like this forum and reading the posts! God gives each person a measure of faith to seek, search and ask for His forgiveness and His guidance! He is calling to you and I hope you will answer His call! You will never be sorry, for once you truly taste of Jesus' sweetness and are saved, you won't want to turn back and even wish you knew Him personally much sooner!

I will pray for you that you will find Jesus by repentance of all your sins, as we are all born sinners and fall short of God's glory! The only way we are able to be with Him is through His saving grace. He will not refuse anyone who asks Him for forgiveness and learns of Him but your heart must really be sorry and want to know Him and be with Him forever and ever! God is gooooood and blesses true believers who know, love and obey Jesus as their Savior and Lord!

God Bless!

Your friend STUDS
 
I hope you enjoy our family here at this forum. Where do you call home? Come back and post often! God bless! :)
 
Studs, welcome to the forum. I'm new, ,too, and the gang here is really supportive -- not only for metal detecting, but caring for each other, helping with prayer or advise. Take care, and God Bless!
 
WE know that God hates divorce, but we are not to be a whipping post or a door mat. God calls us to be servants to our spouses not slaves. God wants your sister healthy and safe. That may mean a temporary or permanent separation. The Bible says, "As much as it is up to you, live at peace with everyone." Your sister is in God's care.
