On my soap box....... again... Oct 1, 2008 8:05 am

Today, i have reflected very much on a topic of conversation that i witnessed in BC last night. I hope i can write sensitively and clearly about why this concerned me.

With jaw dropping horror, i saw a conversation unfold between 2 chatters, the topic was - a woman who had abandoned her baby in a trash can. I appreciate from the outset this case could appear very black and white. This woman was called *sick* amongst other things in chat.

But - maybe things aint so black and white - what if this woman/girl - who evidently went thru labour alone (Mothers - can you imagine that?) She would have been frightened - scared - so alone, petrified even. The emotions of what she possibly could have felt would have been overwhelming.

I had my children in one of the very best British hospitals, surrounded by Midwives, doctors and paeditricians and i was scared - My heart goes out to this woman.

Perhaps she was a teenage mom, perhaps the baby was a result of a rape, perhaps she had no support,perhaps she felt she could not raise baby alone, perhaps she just was not mentally, emotionally ready to be a mum and while i appreciate it was her responsibilty to take precautions - even they are not 100% safe.

It is so easy to sit behind our PC screens in our warm homes and a full tummy but until you have stood in someone elses shoes - its not nice to judge others - and IF that woman was sat in BC last night - just how condemned would she have felt - when during this time - she needs to be loved and accepted and reassured that she is the best person to raise that lil baby.

Who knows why this was allowed to happen ?

But i do know this - Jesus would embrace her and love her - call her his own.

So next time we see something we dont fully understand - lets not be hasty to label people and judge them, condemn then. Jesus had compassion - lets embrace that!!
