"I got an email from my sister, Rose Marie Jordan, yesterday and she quoted a friend of hers: There are two circles in our lives: one is a large one, the circle of concern; the second is smaller, the circle of influence." And she went on: If you have no influence, you should realize that; your only part is to pray for that person, because you have no influence."
I agree with her assessment. But, my problem is, I do have an influence--I have to--legally I have an influence because some one involved, in her sane times, gave me all of the influence and registered my concern for her welfare. Others have sought to disconnect me and I am wobbling on a seesaw of legal and moral responsibilities. God help us all but mostly, help my sister! The rest of us are on our own!
