When We Look Beyond Ourselves
It is healthy to take the focus off of us. Life teaches us this lesson.
For the last several days I have been under the weather. Yesterday, I received a call from my old friend Ruthann. Due to a recent surgery, she will be having her leg veins opened and skin grafting done. I felt for her. It made me think of how other folks, who have it worse off than ourselves.
I wish to present three scenarios to consider. Each is horrifying in its own way, if you have been there. Turning our focus to others, helps us discover our own purpose in life and grows our spirituality.
Scenario One
You throw a dinner party. Your best friend, who you haven't seen recently, is at the party. You are overjoyed to see him again. Following the party, your wife discovers jewelry missing valued at $1900.00. It turned out he had taken the jewels and sold them for cash.
Obviously, you lost the trust of a friendship. You are also out the value and sentiment of the jewelry. However, you can find another friend in time and monetary/material items are replaceable. With time, you will move forward.
Scenario Two
After 21 years of marriage, what you suspected all along has become a reality. You husband has had a mistress/girlfriend for the past 7 years. You are devastated and goring through so many feelings at once. And what about your daughter who is now 17?
Well, that is a tough one. You lost a life long partner and the trust you thought was there. The fact you had suspected this, may have, in some small way, helped to to prepare for this day. Is the marriage salvageable? Only you can decide. But, if not, you are out financially and emotionally. Life goes on and, in time, there is rebirth. You may find a better partner more suitable for you. You may now be able to discover new thing about you and fulfill old dreams. And this may well be a blessing, rather than a burden, though it doesn't appear that way.
How will it affect your daughter? She will have her own things emotionally to deal with. You can be there for each other. But, be glad she is 17 and not a younger, more impressionable age.
Obviously, this is far worse than scenario one
Scenario Three
You get a phone call from Ruth, the local CPS worker. Apparently, she has been stalking both of your children, Ruth visits your home, unannounced, to discover that your son had some marks on his body and you are not good at cleaning your home. An empty Budweiser can sit in the corner of the kitchen counter. You tell her the marks were from playing outdoors. Ruth learns your spouse was laid off last month. It does not look good.
Through lies, intimidation and manipulation she forces you into a court date. Sadly, you learn that the court system is rigged, after it drained your bank account and your marriage. Now that you and your husband are separated, Ruth goes in for the kill. She places you 9 year old son with a foster family in city about 60 miles away and your 6 year old baby girl gets shipped off from foster home to foster home. Despite the fact none of this was your fault, you were never granted visitation rights.
More money passes through family law court than all other courts combined.
Sadly, you never hear about your son again until that fateful day. On the new they report he was being sent off to prison for multiple crimes. And your daughter? She got lost in so much paper work and foster homes. She ends up in New York in the sex trafficking kiddie trade. She looked innocent and appealing.
We See The Aching Need...
Clearly this scenario tops them all.
Wow! That sounds like the CPS motherload of misery. And all for the profit of the government. This poor lady looses her two children forever. In the process, she forfeits her life savings and her husband. Think of the tears and emotions the parents and children go through in this forced separation. Think of the life changes that will shape their futures. And the lost innocence and discarded dreams. Then there is the extended family and friends who lives are altered.
No Little League, Scouts, Dance Class or piano lessons. No excursions to the lake or campfires at Uncle Bob's. No more Friday night ice cream, church camps, graduation or even college. Instead their lives will be littered with nightmares, tears, psychological baggage, missed opportunities, lost love and endless questions that will haunt them a lifetime.
And yet, this is the reality of many once happy families, who have been hunted by the CPS. The system is designed to incentivize kidnapping children and breaking up homes. Cash bonuses are made on each child given to the foster care industry. And child trafficking relies oh the CPS. Big Buck for your innocent babies, who are stolen and sold on the governmental baby farm conveyor belt. In the process... lives are destroyed.
And now with open borders, business is booming, beating out the drug trade. The Cartels are busy and happy as ever!
To Help Be The Voice For Others
You realize life is not about our needs
Hearing about other people's lives makes you look at life differently. It's no longer about your ills and minor pains. Seeing this gets your mind off your own problems and makes you want to help.
The are many out there who see the need of others. One by one, they are coming together to be a voice for the voiceless families and the kidnapped innocent. These pro-family groups know that together we can defend the hurting. Folks like @familyprotection, here on Hive, work hard to keep families together and protect innocence. They know that folks should not be hunted, haunted and put through the hurt. I would encourage you to support @familyprotection as they continue to heal the lives of others.
We discover our True Purpose in Life.
