I have often wondered how I would react if either of my two daughters ever got caught in a situation like this and here it is staring me in the face.
Then I came out and faced the harsh judgment of my family. I promised myself that NOTHING my two girls could EVER do to make me throw them out of my life. I might get mad as hell at them, but I would never throw them out of my life, stop loving them, or point a finger of judgment at them because I have been there and I know what it is like to be thrown out. I know what it is like to have my mom and dad not talk to me, and not invite me home for Christmas, or Thanksgiving. I know what is like to be forgotten for my birthday, and told that God is going to judge me for my sin. Hear me- I WILL NEVER DO THAT TO MY DAUGHTERS!
I need to be the grace that was not shown to me to my daughters.
RevCobb, can you share the rest of that poem?
