What Should I Do?

Boy, this religious stuff sure can get out of hand! And, don`t get me wrong...I am Christian.. And a 60 yr old mother of two grown daughters. They do many things different from how they were raised...but they are adults now...and that is their right in life! Goodness sakes...do your parents think the only people who will be in heaven are the Catholics? It can`t be true, for I have heard the same thing from one daughter who is Baptist. I am Methodist and she thinks I stand no chance of making it to heaven unless I am reborn in her church. So, we agree to disagree and NOT fight about it.

This might all blow over if you intend to produce grand children for them!! Somehow, mothers can forget a whole lot when they see their newborn grand child for the first time. It`s like makes it perfectly clear that this child of theirs is a child no more....and we must bond together to care for the newest child. I hope this happens in your case, for it is sad, indeed, as a previous lady wrote, that your parents cannot appreciate that we are all serving the same GOD...and simply appreciate the fact that you even CARE to be involved with a church and be religiously grounded. So many among us do not even have that....and it often happens that way when the church of one`s upbringing no longer fits. Lots of people never seek to find another one...they just do without any.

Love what you can about them...and even if they reject you, try not to reject them back. Keep the invitations flowing to affairs long after the wedding, even if they do not come, and I sincerely hope they will see the error of their way of thinking!
