I have thought about what happens when one spouse leaves another. The person who is left behind so to speak has had some of their future decided by someone else. That can't be a good feeling. Especially if the left behind spouse is ill. What chance do they have of uniting with someone new? Finding someone who is willing to share their life from the get-go when they know they are sick. I have seen this scenario more times than I care to admit. My heart hurts for the person left behind. Life isn't fair in a lot of ways. Still, there are things to be thankful for...one has to look harder for them when one is depressed because of one's circumstances. As for the person who leaves the sick spouse...I just can't find any respect for them. Forgiveness for someone is different than having respect for them in everything. You can forgive without respecting another person's actions. God is in control and sometimes it is so hard to understand his purposes. We must accept the fact that we may never know God's plan for our lives. His ways are higher than ours and revenge belongs to him. A life without forgiveness creates bitterness and nobody wants to die that way.
Today's post seems gloomy, I know, but sometimes we all have gloomy thoughts and reflections.
