Taking it Lightly

About Two months ago, I was at court filing papers, then, I saw a member from church.

He was there filing finalized divorce papers. 

I told him I was very sadden to hear he was getting a divorce. 

I know the couple for years, and felt like they were always the ideal family and had everything.

His response was disturbing.  He said, “I am glad and happy because we really need the divorce”.

That statement broke my heart.  I knew and do know the heart ache those wonderful children will go through.

And, I know the heartaches of both parents.

But he claimed it proudly, as if it was something wonderful. 

That was scary to me.  I know the devastation from divorce.  It is never good. 

She was on the church choir.  They were happy.  Now, the family is destroyed, but he is joyful, something does not make sense here.

My prayer is for her and the children.  I am hoping she does not have the same attitude that he does, regardless of the mess they may have both caused. 

My two cents, and God Bless.  

It is like a War scene with hundreds of dead bodies and someone says “that was Good and needed to be done”; while it may be good, a lost and destroyed life is never good.
