The other day, I got a song that really touched me, and put the email about it on here. It was read by at least one person, who has been touched by it. Healing is taking place.

We all think that we have rights, but few think of the consequences of exercising those rights any longer. Few think of the hurt we cause others when exercising those choices. Few think of the generational effects, especially in today's society of 'soul mates' and 'greener pastures' when we choose to break our vows and walk away.

MY generation was told that kids will 'adjust', that they will be 'better off' with a 'happy parent', but there are changes that take place that we cannot predict. My generation fell for the Big Lie about 'no fault' forced, unilateral divorce Big Time.

And we taught our kids by our example.

But now our 'kids' ( like Elizabeth Marquardt ) are telling us that we were mistaken.

We were lied to. We were duped. We were taught to be selfish, and to blame everyone else for our actions but ... ourselves, our choices, our free will.

We blew it. Big Time.

In seeking to 'satisfy our needs', we have hurt the very innocents that God has gifted us with.

It is no wonder that He seems to THUNDER these words from Malach 2:13-16

And this again you do. You cover the LORD's altar with tears, with weeping and groaning because he no longer regards the offering or accepts it with favor at your hand.
You ask, "Why does he not?" Because the LORD was witness to the covenant between you and the wife of your youth, to whom you have been faithless, though she is your companion and your wife by covenant.
Has not the one God made and sustained for us the spirit of life? And what does he desire? Godly offspring. So take heed to yourselves, and let none be faithless to the wife of his youth.

"For I hate divorce, says the LORD the God of Israel, and covering one's garment with violence, says the LORD of hosts. So take heed to yourselves and do not be faithless."



It is, as a close friend of mine calls it, a "God-thing". Timing was His, also.

Our vows: The groom says:I (...), take you (...) to be my wife. I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honor you all the days of my life. The bride says:I (...), take you (...) to be my husband. I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honor you all the days of my life. "Right is still right if nobody is right, and wrong is still wrong if everybody is wrong," Archbishop Fulton J Sheen author of The Life of Christ

“In many parts of the world, the family is under siege.
It is opposed by an anti-life mentality as is seen in contraception,
abortion, infanticide and euthanasia. It is scorned and banalized
by pornography, desecrated by fornication and adultery, mocked by homosexuality,
sabotaged by irregular unions and cut in two by divorce.”
~~ Cardinal Arinze
