Once upon a time there was a wealthy business man, who happen to stumble upon a young family down on their luck. He saw that this family, although battered and discarded from society’s limelight, had a great deal of potential and many great things could come out of helping them out.
He decided he would befriend this young family and took the time to speak of great new ventures. He pumped this family’s head with such high hopes and dreams, to imagine that their worries would soon be over…it was more than they could ask for. The family praised this man and they viewed him as an angel sent from the heavens. They felt they were in good hands. Their lives would finally change for the better.
Work began. The young family spent countless hours, days and weeks, skipping rest and meals, simply trying to get things done, as they knew the little sacrifices they made today, would bring forth fruit in the following days, weeks and months.
Suddenly, it all began to slow down. Work became less frequent and the young family’s hope and dreams came crashing down. Communication had stopped and no more word could be found from this business man.
The thought, to have been so close, yet so far from getting out of misery, completely crushed the parents, as they looked in the eyes of their 4 young children.
“We have failed them” said the mother, as tears came falling from her eyes.
I ask you…how can ANYONE have the scruples to lead on a family this way and then simply drop them like last week’s garbage?
