I went to court today for an expired tag. Can I just tell you it was the most depressing thing I have been around in a long time. I walk in–to the library. yes, the court is in this library–so, I walk in and I kind of get these stares from this man, who I later find out is the judge and the “cops”. I gradually make my way around the room and find a seat. I have no idea what’s going on. So, I listen in to this woman, who by this point, is freaking out and screaming at the judge. “What am I going to do about my son?! What am I going to do about this money?!? Can I have a phone call?” During all of this yelling, the judge calmly says “Ma’am, you are sentenced to 2-4 weeks in jail.” My heart breaks at this point. And the woman goes ballistic. Screaming louder, shouting the same things at the judge. The judge asks the cop to handcuff the woman, and she is seated right in front of me. Besides the fact that she is shaking and still mumbling things under breath, my eyes are glued to her absolutely beautiful son. I’m guessing he is around 2, he doesn’t talk, but can walk. My heart melts. THEN–the little [beautiful] boy, goes up to his mother and wipes her tears. I started tearing up at this point. I couldn’t believe it. Her shaking stops, her mumbling stops, and she looks down at her son. Who is trying to give her his cup with the most beautiful smile on his face.
The little boy kind of reminded me of Jesus. He calms us down in the most chaotic times. He is there to comfort us when things are horrible. It was so sad to see this little boy, not understand, but understood enough that his mom was upset, about something. I wanted to hold this little boy and just cry. I wanted to keep him from the truth that surrounded him that he couldn’t understand. I wanted to protect him. I pray that that woman takes care of him. Shows him the love he definitely deserves. And I hope that she sees the unconditional love that he showed her today and embraces that. And understands that that is what Jesus is like for us. Unconditional.
[I hope you have had a good day. You deserve it. I hope that you see the love that He has for you. The compassion, the care. I hope that you see that He wants what's best for you. He desires for you to have joy, for you to be ok. He desires to calm you down, to hold you, to smile at you. He thinks you are beautiful. You are enough.]
You are cherished by the King.
Hey, I’m taking a break from my assigned paper to read your blog. I absolutely love this story. It’s heart-breaking, but I wish I could have witnessed it with you.
and… I hope You have had a good day. You deserve it. I hope that You see the love that He has for You. The compassion, the care. I hope that You see that He wants what’s best for You. He desires for You to have joy, for You to be ok… more than ok. He desires to calm You down, to hold You, to smile at You… and through You. He thinks You are BEAUTIFUL. You are enough.
