The Sabbath is the link between the paradise which has passed away and the paradise which is yet to come. —Andrew Wylie
The majority of my life I have been a UU. Before this time, I would not say I had a saving moment. Until recently, because I just had the expectation that they would always be there.
This past December, my 10 year old son had a mental break down and tried to kill himself. I felt alone as a single mom. My two sisters blamed me and told me all his problems were my fault. I was starting to think that suicide for myself may help my son the best.
My minister saw me upset one day, and I told her what I was going through. She hugged me and told me she was there for me. I then realized I may not have my real family, but I have my church family. This love and energy has given me the strength for myself to take care of me and my son. This has saved the both of us.
