Our Children Wish that the Nightmare would End

“But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.” (Matthew 19:30) This statement is so true regarding our broken families. When a parent, married or unmarried, decides to leave the family for another grown-up, there seldom is a turning back. Few parents try to put things back together. Children are forced to live in broken homes with unrelated people sleeping in their parents’ beds. This is how the first family becomes the last family and the last family becomes the first family. Family members are replaced in order to make room for the new members. In this situation, our children must forsake houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, wife, children, or inheritances. Do not commit adultery – don’t put your first family last!
