Light at the End of the Tunnel

In this life you will have troubles...There's a light at the end of the tunnel.

One of my extended family members recently went through a nasty divorce with repercussions effecting them day in and day out. The kids are supposed to talk with the other parent on certain days, and even though they speak many times a week on other days, the court order specifies a certain time and day. A couple times over the past year were missed, so the absentee parent is suing the custodial parent on a Contempt of Court charge and jail time.

I can't even begin to imagine the anxiety, fear, and stress created by this situation. It seems as if the suing parent has one agenda- to make life miserable for the other parent, giving no thought as to what effect this will have on the kids. Even though the public records from the initial custody order shows that the other parent lived with a known convicted sex offender, or that almost too many instances to count, as evidence of extra marital affairs...with both sexes, were revealed over the course of a decade.

When things don't make sense, gifts of things like peace, hope and joy do. These are the gifts that God gave us when He sent His son Jesus into the world, giving us a glimpse of the light at the end of the tunnel.
