For some reason this week it seems that I have fallen victim of both passing judgment on others and having judgment passed on me. I am not a “religious” person by nature and gave up on organized religion years ago. Because of how others in most churches judge those in the congregation by their own values.
Having a blended family with multiple blended families making up the group I call, sisters, mothers, and fathers, kids, grand kids it can get confusing, some have even said I need a spreadsheet to keep track. We were all brought up differently, and we all have different values. Not one of us have the ability or the right to say what another is doing is right or wrong. As individuals we do what is best for us.
However, when those we love make accusations, and judge another loved one, on rumor or suspicion we set ourselves up for failure. To believe or spread the rumor that someone in our family is using drugs, and try and set them up is not a fair or positive thing to do. The repercussions of the set up can affect more than the person you are attempting to help. Criminal records, danger and the possibility of discovering you were wrong can have huge affects on everyone.
Remember what you do today can impact you and those close to you for years to come. Instead of being sneaky, involving others, why not just face the suspension directly. I love you all, and hope you are truly thinking about what is best for you and your family. Haven’t we all been through enough drama and isn’t it time we start taking care of each other again.
