><>...Dear John...><>
Lindsey needs to be handled with love and care no doubt. And in my opinion, that doll is a symbol of violence, and should be encouraged out of her possession. It should be replaced with something else if she cares to have something to hold on to. Something meaningful and hopeful! That punching-bag-doll is only an evil reminder of abuse.
Lindsey needs to know by word and deed that she is loved, and getting punched first is not the road to real love. She is old enough to deal with her pathetic situation on a quasi adult level. She cries out for it, and she needs it. She is child-like most likely, due to being treated as a child. And a battered child to boot.
Someone needs to step in and communicate with her as a mature 13 yr. old. She needs to know that others see her as a fine young girl and that she will grow into a fine and beautiful woman. She needs to stop being reminded of her past. She needs more than anything, to be shown in detail, and in technicolor, a most beautiful and peaceful future.
John if you have the authority or influence at all,why don't you pick her up a wonderful picture book of the miracles of Jesus. If you feel more comfortable to let your wife do it then let it so be.
Lindsey needs to be held, and hugged, and loved, as a young girl with a beautiful future. She needs something real, and beautiful to look forward to. She needs to know she is somebody with a bright future.She needs to know that she is worthy of all that is good. She needs a dream, a dream that she is told that she is able to make come true.!~
John I am not sure I understand the parents. Sure, I know there are multiple dynamics at work here but to ship her out to foster parents?
Yes, I also know that many foster parents are well suited for certain children, and they make good loving fil-ins. But her stability depends on a loving, stable environment.
Lindsey's personality disorder did not suddenly arise out of being abused only as an infant. There seems to be a lot more there.
She will be in my prayers everynight.
God bless you my friend, and may He use you tremendously in helping to bring to fruition the plan to bringing Lindsey to that most joyful and peaceful place withinh herself and within a most wholesome, and God-filled enviroment.
Mark 10:14-16
14 But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
16 And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.
Dear Father in Heaven, Bless this one Lindsey, take from her all that is evil. Instill in her the love of your most precious Son, and may she know peace. Give her a vision Father, a vision of a most blessed and loving future. Show her Father your love and your plans for her life, plans for good and not for evil. A future filled with hope.
Thank you Father in the name of my Lord Jesus.
The love, grace, and wisdom, of our Father be with you always my good friend John.
Sincerely,
Shalom...><>
