Where Bitterness Ends

My grandma is 95 years old. Up until last week she has lived on her own in an independent assisted living facility. Recently she fell down which has is becoming more and more common. She also has not been eating and its hard for her to get up and out of bed. So, because of these circumstances the facility has asked that she be moved, which is understandble. My grandma is not perfect. For that matter no one is. We all have things that we have done and not been proud of. My grandma is no different. She has made choices that probably was not the best thing. Things have happened in the past. Unfortunately there are those in my family who can not forget the past and move on. Bitterness has intertwined through them so much that that bitterness is choking all the healthiness out of their lives. Unless they can let that bitterness go their lives will never be happy. I know my grandma is not going to be here too much longer. This saddens me. What saddens me even more is that my family can't get along and let the bitterness go. The only way for the family to move on and be healthy is to end the bitterness. My prayer for my family, first and foremost is that they would come to a personal relationship with Jesus. Then, maybe the bitterness that they have lived with so many years can be given to Jesus and He can do the healing work in their hearts that they need.
