My Answer/ Billy Graham


DEAR REV. GRAHAM: My sister has always had an angry streak in her, but after our mother's will was read and I got more than she did, she really turned ugly. Now she's suing to have the will reversed. As a Christian, how should I respond? Should I just give in and give my sister everything she wants? —F.L.

Dear F.L.: A lawyer who specialized in wills and estates once said to me, "I'll have to go out of business if relatives ever learn to get along with each other!" I saw his point; family disputes are often the hardest to resolve — particularly when money is involved.

I'm afraid you face a difficult situation, no matter what you do. That's why I hope you'll make this whole situation a matter of prayer, asking God for wisdom to do what is right.
