[Magdalen] Prayer Request--Family explosion

[Jay Weigel]

My daughter's family, which had already expanded this year with the
addition of one stepson, is set to multiply exponentially over spring break
(next week) with the addition of the remainder of her husband's children,
who, for complex legal reasons, are to be at least temporarily, and
possibly permanently, removed from their mother's custody. This means that
they will now have six children, five of them teenagers, under their roof.
Fortunately she is pretty well acquainted with all of them and gets along
well with them, but it is still going to be difficult for everyone. Two of
the incoming ones are girls, which will be something new for her---she's
used to dealing with a houseful of males. They won't be restricted from
seeing or communicating with their mom, they just can't live with her.
Prayers are requested for all as they deal with the upset and
reorganization.
