A New Beginning.

Several years ago I started Blogging. My purpose was to talk about raising abused grandchildren. That went along for a while then it changed.

We had a major incident in out home and one of the grandsons violated the law. We turned him in, yet we stood beside him through the whole ordeal. We had been very involved in a church and truly believed they would stand beside us. Wrong...

When all this happened I posted my feelings here. I was completely and deeply hurt. Of course the church was unhappy that I could and would express my feeling publicly. I was requested to remove the posting. I did and I have regretted it since. I changed the name of my blog, then I even went to another server.

That was three years ago. Since then I have heard that the Pastor of that church believes me to be a very hateful person. I was a very hurt person and I didn't know how to deal with that hurt. Now, I have forgiven them as I realized they did what they did because they believed it was right. Hopefully they will find a way to forgive us. We can not forget what happened and can never go back,so we have moved on.

Today we attended another chuch for the first time. I spoke briefly with the Pastor and told him what had happened. He understood the history of the other church and together we could accept their actions. He was completely welcoming to us. Today was hopefully a new beginning.

Since the incident our grandson has graduated high school and is now working. He has a girl friend and his life is moving forward. He is not perfect, but which one of us is??
