The King and His Daughter Snow... |
Last night I watched a show called Once Upon a Time and as
the title indicates…it’s about fairytales..sort of. Yesterday’s episode showed a scene that
looked painfully familiar. As I watched
it unfold, that icky feeling you get in the pit of your stomach where you see a
train getting ready to hit the brick wall, and you know you’re gonna get hit
with the residue, but you stand there and watch anyway….and then you bleed and vomit…yeah it was
THAT feeling.

Needless to say that the character.. "Regina" is a tad short on grace and ends up in all kind of foolishness all because she did not know what to do and had noone to turn to when her husband screwed up his priorities, disregarded her and her needs. The King is caught between a rock and a hard place, with a deceased wife he wants to always honor and the child he had with her...but its at the expense of the new wife he claims he loves…what would YOU do? There are no two "best". One is and one isn't, it requires a choice.
Second wives, especially those married to a former widower NEED grace. There are some things that you are going to have to settle in your heart for yourself and be ok with. Don't fall into the trap of bitterness. God will and can fill in the blanks, I guarantee it! It is NOT easy; I don’t think it would have been given to me if it were easy. God entrusts me with the hard stuff. Some days are harder than others and sometimes you want to cry and retreat, find another way to be happy rather than explain yourself, once again. But I know a God who is available to us. He is a GREAT companion. He is a very present help in the time of trouble. Call him, he has NO problem declaring his love for you and shouting out to the world through his blessings…that, that one is MINE…I love her completely, there is no one like her and no one can take ever take her place, her design is unique and she is the best to do what Ihave called her to do….She is fearfully and wonderfully made…she is and will always be my number 1.
