Dorothy is a nurse from Uganda who works in the clinic. She does a lot of wound care. Dorothy is married to Thon who is from Sudan. He also works in the clinic. Dorothy is very sweet.
She asked for prayer for her marriage. She and Thon are having a hard time now. She is expecting their second child in a month and a half. Currently Dorothy is living with a friend and Thon is alone in their house. Dorothy threatened to take Amin (their son) to Uganda, so Thon removed him from the home and sent him to stay with others in another village. Needless to say, Dorothy is heartbroken. She is far from her family and feels very much alone.
As I write this, Suzy is counseling Dorothy and Thon, advising them to fight for their marriage. Love is a choice and an action. We don't always feel like loving someone, especially when they are unlovable. However, God loves us even though we don't deserve it. So, we need need to extend that grace to others. Please pray that Dorothy and Thon will reconcile and keep their family together.
Please tell Dorothy and Thon that we are praying for them and standing in the gap for their marriage. We can all be unlovable at times, especially in marriage, but you are right...love is not a feeling, it is a choice.
