A special greeting to those of you who may not even see your children today. A special greeting to those of you who may not even have received a card from your little ones because your former spouse just doesn't care and is blind to your value as a parent. A special greeting for all those "awkward" moments this Holiday can bring: "Did your kids send you flowers?", "I got a beautiful card from my daughter, how about you?", "We are all going out for dinner tonight, and you?" A VERY special greeting to those of you who have to deal with family members & friends who say, "Well, best to accept it, life goes on!", "I'm sure whatever happened was all for the best...." Please understand they just don't know. Would you have used those words in talking to a slave in the 1850's? Would you have used those words in talking to a black forced to the "back of the bus" in the 1950's? Admit it, maybe you would have -- until you learned to understand. Until you experienced it first hand. On this very special day, let us all remember, yes, they can take away our children -- but only we can give them our dignity. We may not be perfect, but that does not mean we don't have a God given "right" to participate as an equal parent in our children's lives. We open the door to reform when we demonstrate the power of our love. When we stop seeking to be the ONLY parent to our children, but an EQUAL parent. If they stick a camera in your face and ask you "why?". Don't waste your 20 seconds on hate for your former spouse, the social worker, judges or lawyers. Tell them about your great love for your kids -- even better, show them.... That is what NonViolent Action is all about. That with real Faith, real Love, and real Sacrifice, real miracles can happen -- not just the stuff you see in "Touched by an Angel" or "Joan of Arcadia". But you have to believe, you have to act, and then noble dreams take on flesh and become reality. http://www.AKidsRight.Org/civil_back.htm "Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its passion unyielding as the grave. It burns like a blazing fire, like a mighty flame. Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned." -- Song of Songs 8:6-7 Webmaster ___________________________________________________________________ webmaster@AKidsRight.Org "A Kid's Right to BOTH parents" http://www.AKidsRight.Org/ ======================================= Newsletter mailing list Newsletter@kids-right.org subscribe/unsubscribe info below: http://kids-right.org/mailman/listinfo/newsletter
