Hello, I know I have been gone a very long time. I feel I have no right to come back after so long asking for prayers, but I have no where else to turn, and I know the responses I receive here will be caring and scriptural. My grandson, A, by my sons second marriage thinks hes gay I don't see them often, so I don't know how far this thing has gone. My husband and I both feel this lifestyle choice is wrong. In speaking with my son, he says his wife is blaming it on vaccines the boy took as a child and is defending him. The whole conversation came about because I told my son that A would of course be welcome to come here for Christmas, but not his "boyfriend". My husband and I feel that would be in a way supportive of his choice. So I am very torn. I know Jesus says to love the sinner and hate the sin. My son said I shouldn't judge A, and that Jesus told us to love everyone. Please pray for me and if anyone could direct me to more information on how to love a gay family member that would be great.

I will continue to pray for you.....it has to be so hard.
And what is worse, is how this is being pushed big time in school....
In a way, that is maybe one of the 'good' things about Covid
no in person school
Because, the 3 middle school kids
( a bio grandson and 2 kind of....adopted sort of )
we are involved with were having gender fluidity pushed at them daily.
The school they were attending had all sort of gay rights posters up
and classes for children who 'might' think they are gay
And on and on it goes.
It is so upsetting, because it is truly being pushed at these kids.....
Even one of the 3
were being bombarded with graphic gay sex education
( the girl) had gotten so much indoctrination daily....
She was beginning to second guess herself :(
Now that they have not had in person school for a year
she has pretty much or totally,
forgotten all about her confusion.
Along with all of that, they are also learning a lot of anti-Christian doctrine.....how it can be 'hate' speech
concerning this life style.
I feel so badly for the children, that they are having to deal with this, at such a young age .....some as young as first grade.
But God is still on the throne
and He hears our prayers
We may not get the answer we want for our loved ones
when we want......but you never know.

Thank you so much for your continued prayers. Havent heard much from my son recently about the situation. They didn't come down at Christmas because my grandson tested positive for covid. He is all better now, and none of the others have shown symptoms. I will just keep on praying every day. Again, thank you son much for your faithful prayers.

Attachment Deletedman, there’s a lot of that going around, where husband can’t speak freely around the wife, or vice versa 😪 parents can’t speak freely around adult kids! Can’t speak freely anywhere it seems 😪

Thank you for your continued prayers. Still nothing new. It's like the elephant in the room that no one mentions... very sad. But God is in control and can change lives through prayers, so I thank you so much for your faithful prayers.

Thank you so much for your continued prayers. Still nothing new, no discussion of the subject allowed it seems. Yes sw7777, "Praying that because God is way more powerful than Satan, that God will overcome evil and triumph in this lads life." Our God is way more powerful than the evil one. Thank you for bringing that to my remembrance.
I am so grateful to all of you for sharing this burden with me. God Bless.

Hello, I know I have been gone a very long time. I feel I have no right to come back after so long asking for prayers, but I have no where else to turn, and I know the responses I receive here will be caring and scriptural. My grandson, A, by my sons second marriage thinks hes gay I don't see them often, so I don't know how far this thing has gone. My husband and I both feel this lifestyle choice is wrong. In speaking with my son, he says his wife is blaming it on vaccines the boy took as a child and is defending him.

My husband and I feel that would be in a way supportive of his choice. So I am very torn. I know Jesus says to love the sinner and hate the sin.

“The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.” (2 Thessalonians 2:9–12) Hang in there my sister and keep praying. We stand beside you and pray in agreement that your grandson will realize that he is not now and never way "gay".

Good point Cindy:
" you don't really have a "gay family member".
You have a family member
who for whatever reason
thinks he's gay. "
I keep thinking this is the world today:
"28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God,
so God gave them over to a depraved mind,
so that they do what ought not to be done."
Romans 1:28
Praying for you , your family and grandson.

I just realized how sadly out of control this is getting!
I believe there is another thread ( Steve's) where a Christian family has 2 girl's deciding they are gay.
The devil is working over time for sure.
I really liked what you said Cindy,
it was so important, I am going to quote you again:
"I am praying hon,
but as you know,
you don't really have a "gay family member".
You have a family member who for whatever reason
'thinks he's gay'.
I will also post here what I wrote on that other prayer request:
I just watched a video where a comparison was made between
gender dysphoria
and
anorexia.
Imagine if parents of an anorexic was told by the courts, medical, schools, etc.
You must now respect your child's view of themselves
and from here on you must call them
obese,
and you must affirm their starving themselves,
and never feed them,
You may never point out they are killing themselves,
etc. etc. etc.
If you disobey,
you will go to prison for many years.
I will continue to pray....
Also, I have heard many times now,
that these kids often
decide this
after it has been discussed in detail at school.
In fact, the grandchildren, we are involved with
have told us,
that over half the kids in their school
are now declaring themselves
to be gay
or trans
or bi-sexual
These are 10-13 year olds.
And there seem to be endless teaching on this at school
not so much reading, writing and math
But lots of LBGT xyz's etc.
Environmentalism
social justice
BLM
etc etc etc.
Praying.......
