Lesson learned
Hi readers,
Today's lesson is important and I hope that everyone that reads this will take something from it. It's been a very hard week for me and this morning, I finally broke down and asked "Why?"
The answer was rather quick in coming and the lesson I've been taught is worth sharing and it's this: Don't take something that's not yours.
I'm not talking about stealing in a sense of taking stuff. I'm talking about people. I'm talking about relationships.
I've been guilty of this twice. Once with my second wife, where I caused a bunch of trouble with her and the guy she was seeing when I was very young and VERY immature. Those are things I'd just rather forget. The second was Wendi's husband. The first time, I failed at taking something that wasn't mine, but I tried and that was foolish of me. We didn't get together for a year, and a failed marriage later on my part, later.
The second, well, I may not have been the cause of Wendi's first marriage ending but I certainly shouldn't have done the things I did to help it along, either. As I look back on the events of the week, I realize I've had done to me what I did to Wendi's first husband and it hurts.
So, without details that would make this story understandable, here's the takeaway for today: Don't get involved with someone that's involved. No matter what they tell you or lead you to believe, there's always another side to the story, always another person involved, and always, someone that's going to get hurt in the end. And if you're blessed to have someone in your life, take some time to learn what marriage is supposed to be. If you're married and you're not a regular church goer, do this one small thing... just read the many passages about marriage in the Bible and understand what a good marriage is supposed to be. And no matter what, never, ever try to take someone that belongs to someone else. As far as that goes, don't try to give something that's not yours to give to someone else, either.
Though neither man will probably ever read the blog, the apology to both is posted here: Guys, I was wrong, and I'm sorry.
Learn from others because, friends, these are lessons you never want to live through.
Trust me.
