Sometimes we
do stupid things in the heat of passion. We say the wrong thing. We commit
crimes. We make people.
No matter
the excuses, what is done is done. There are no take backs.
Words will
be remembered, crimes punished, but children?
Everyday
there are reports of horrific occurrences involving children. Blame can be
placed and judgment handed out, but family is one of our most coveted terms of
social structure.
The innocent
brought into this environment are incapable to survive without parents, a
mother, or other adults to provide shelter, food, clothing and humanity.
Unfortunately
along with the happy smiling faces playing on swings and holding puppies, there
are the images of abused and forgotten children.
Pregnancy is
a life changer. A teenage girl who misses that time of month looks to a parent.
She has had her life directed but now it is her decision.
If Josef had
decided not to befriend a single mom carrying another's baby, how would this
holiday turn out? If Mary had another option but to be the vessel to deliver
our holy savior, would it still be joy to the world?
Children and
adults face this quagmire with moral, legal, emotional and physical depositions
weighed.
