Topic: Hope For An Unwed Mother, Part 2 Of 2

The presence of Light and hope may not become apparent in big lifestyle changes in the life of an unwed mother. However, the changes may certainly be passed along to the children of an unwed mother. Parents break the cycle of hopelessness by giving their children hope and the Light. Her victory over hopelessness would be shallow if she found hope and the Light only to see her children be swallowed up in hopelessness. The greatest victory for an unwed mother would be to pass her hope and her Light on to her offspring. Persons we recognize as having overcome great obstacles and darkness most often attribute their abilities to a parent or parents. When a parent passes on hope and the Light to the next generation, the endless cycles of poverty and darkness are broken. Much like the stone dropped into the quiet lake, the effects of finding hope and the Light ripple out over the generations to come. Not only are the sins of the fathers and mothers visited upon the children of succeeding generations, but the rebirth of the fathers and mothers who find the Light are also visited upon future generations. In assessing her life, the unwed mother may unfortunately use our standards of dollars, houses, cars, and clothes as a gauge of her success. In determining the value of our programs to help others, we unfortunately measure success in material forms. However, dollars, houses, cars, and clothes are not measures of how much hope and the Light transforms us. We are transformed in spiritual dimensions not comparable to our physical world.
