My you and your family welcome him with open arms and love in your hearts and any traveling partners he may bring.

Him I will warmly welcome with a hug, a handshake, a coffee, and a warm slice of pecan pie. I'm unable at this time to extend the same warmth to his, er, travelling partner. Still, I eagerly await his visit.
 
remember it's all not her fault. Rae decided to leave his wife and live with her. She did not break up the marriage by herself.
 
From many years of observation and experience I can confidently say "No break-up is all the fault of one of the partners". Extended family members can assist following a break-up by listening with their hearts and not piling on blame.
 
May it be something between the partners that they know not of ... the dangers of that unseen power of gravitas?

Like aD onus ... it is a gift but a dangerous one ... some balance may be expected of you as a full crumb underneath the tables as turned by myth ...

Yes, that's true Tabitha. Thing is, I'd prefer not to enter into the mess of the entire situation. For one thing, Dr. Rae's wife is a friend of mine and I don't want to be disloyal to her. I will gladly meet for coffee or a meal with my brother.

My mom would welcome them into her home. Yobo also would welcome them. My son who lives with us would be friendly.

That said, I think Dr. Rae and his companion will probably stay with my sister Kae and family. Rae and Kae are close, and Kae and her family are excellent hosts.
 
ummm. I am thinking of the parable (The Prodical) Why would you not greet him like the father-

open arms and a feast.
 
Jae, will you do the same with your brother's partner? If you don't extend the same welcome to those he loves, then, it doesn't seem that "open arms" welcome to me.

For those reading the thread, Jae has stated that he will meet his brother for dinner, etc. He has expressly excluded his brother's partner from his posts. I am not clear if this exclusion is what he would do in real life or just not bothering to note both in his references, hence my question above.
 
Perhaps Jae this is something to discuss with either or both your spiritual director and counselor. They made have some guidance for you so you can truly show Christ's love to both visitors.

Wise advice Tabitha, thanks. I'll seek the wisdom of my Senior Pastor and the Director of my seminary program (I no longer have either an SD or a Counselor).

His rightful partner is his wife, whom I love like she's one of my sisters.

As for the woman who he's currently choosing to spend his time with, I wish her no ill will, but neither will I welcome her.
