One of my favorite people in the world sent this to me. He is my local "Avraham Gileadi" and is trying to learn Hebrew and goes to synagogue whenever he can. He is from the tribe of Judah (I told him so years ago and he found out recently that his birth mom who put him up for adoption is indeed Jewish). He has been so moved upon because he will be sent to Jerusalem as part of the 144K. He is one of many I have searched out and found. I have been in contact with many who will have that role - but many do not know it yet or are in the process of discovering it.
Here is what he sent - and yes, I had a drug problem as a kid. I thank my parents for it:
THE PARENTS WHO DRUGGED US!!!
At my 50th
high school reunion a friend asked me, 'Why
didn't we have a drug
problem when we were growing up?'
I replied
that I had a drug problem when I was young: I was
drug to church on Sunday
morning. I was drug to church for
weddings and funerals. I
was drug to family reunions and
community socials no
matter the weather.
I was drug
by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults. I
was also drug to the
woodshed when I disobeyed my parents,
told a lie, brought home
a bad report card, did not speak
with respect, spoke ill
of the teacher or the pastor, or if
I didn't put forth my
best effort in everything that was
asked of me.
I was drug
to the kitchen sink to have my mouth washed out
with soap if I uttered a
profanity. I was drug out to pull
weeds in mom's garden and
flower beds. I was drug to the
homes of neighbors to
help mow the yard, repair the
clothesline, and if my
mother had ever known that I took a
single dime as a tip for
this kindness, my dad would have
drug me back to the
woodshed.
Those
drugs are still in my veins and they affect my
behavior in everything I
do, say, or think. They are
stronger than cocaine,
crack, or heroin, and if today's
children had this kind of
drug problem ,this world would be a
better place.
God bless
the parents who drugged us, and for those that
didn't, I'm really
sorry...
