The Enemy Set Up A Huge Temptaion

Dear Friends, Thank you that I can come and get some encouragement. First of all my husband and I have 7 precious children. Two in heaven and 5 here on earth, Ages 11, 14, 27 29 30 and 33. We had such a fun time when the older ones were at home. They are all Christians. The world has attacked the ones that have left the home and are married. We are a praying momma and daddy and even though it looks like the enemy is winning we will not give up.

The question that I have I will explain at the end of my explaining. 3 1/2 years ago our youngest son's wife was taken captive by the enemy. We realize the battle and have not given up on praying for her. 2 weeks before the enemy set up a huge temptaion she and I were getting close. She wrote an email that was talking about the love for her and our son's two children and her love for our son. At the time she and her momma were going and working out. Her mother was having an affair and got her daughter into one also. Our daughter in law put on a whole different personality and starting living in a very weird way. Our son sat at home waiting for her to come home at night after she would be out at bars. We do know that this is a huge spritual battle that we are fighting in prayer on behalf ouf our precious daught in law. We love her and pray for her return. It looks impossible, but the Lord has given us unreserved love for her.

Anyway in the process our son has gotten lots of council from some of his Christian friends that even though they are not divorced that he can date other women until their divorce goes final. She has decided to divorce our son but has to use the insurance for a time.

The question we have is. Our son is still married in our eyes. Even if he is waiting for a divorce that she is getting it has not happened yet. We were having my husband's birthday and our son wanted to bring his girlfriend to the party. He still has two sisters that are younger and then we also have 7 grandchildren who are under the age of 7. Two of them being his that would also be watching at the birthday party. We asked him to please not bring her and he got upset and didn't show up. The girlfriend has just come to Christ and doesn't understand the gospels as of yet. Talk about a soap opera. Anyway. What do you all think.

Our daughters are having a real hard time and still pray faithfully for the wife's freedom to beable to do right. It is very hard for them. Any encouragement would be helpful. We have explained to our son the reason's for our stand and scripture that we stand on. He understands that, but just disagrees with us.

His church is big and doesn't know what his situation is. He brings his girlfriend to church and 2 weeks ago she got baptised. We have not talked with her giving our son time to let her know what we believe. She has a little girls also that is 3. Talk about one of the hardest things we have gone through. thank you so much for your help.

My husband and I have helped many families with broken hearts. We just need some encouragement from some others now.
