My wife and I recently attended a dinner with a loving long-time-no-see family friend from outside countries; she had a burden of adopting and caring for a child who had years earlier been abandoned by the biological parents and immediate relatives, here in Ug...unfortunately, she visited Uganda with the mentality and knowledge of the legal system of the 1st world country she lives in- which is highly unapplicable to the Ugandan legal system, and for the cause she needed to achieve. Ultimately, she is frustrated...but at the end of the dinner, we parted on the agreed understanding that she had to let it go; to trust that God is watching over that child.
The lesson I learned: not to keep "forcing life" to make other people's wrongs right, especially where the latter are not willing to receive the benefit of doubt and possible help. In the end, God is our protector and keeper, He is the Father to the fatherless, and the husband to the widow.
