WHAT CAN THE CHURCH DO TO BETTER SUPPORT GRANDPARENTS WHO WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN THEIR GRANDCHILDREN'S LIVES? The role of grandparents in the lives of their grandchildren is becoming increasingly significant, for reasons ranging from busy working parents to better healthcare resulting in grandparents living longer and healthier lives. However, not all grandparents feel that their involvement in their grandchildren's lives is supported or encouraged by society, and in particular the church. So, what can the church do to better support grandparents who want to be involved in their grandchildren's lives? Firstly, churches can acknowledge and recognize the important role of grandparents in families. This can be done through sermons, Bible studies, or workshops that emphasize the value of grandparents and the unique contributions they make to their families. By valuing and celebrating this role, the church can also help to create a culture that supports and encourages grandparents to be involved in their grandchildren's lives. Secondly, churches can provide resources and support for grandparents who are caring for their grandchildren full-time or part-time. This can include information about benefits and entitlements, as well as practical and emotional support such as counseling or peer support groups. By providing this kind of support, churches can show that they recognize the challenges that many grandparents face when caring for their grandchildren, and they are committed to being a source of help and encouragement. Thirdly, churches can create intergenerational programs and activities that bring together different age groups, including grandparents and grandchildren. This can include events such as family picnics, outings, or special events that celebrate relationships between generations. By creating these kinds of opportunities, the church can help to foster positive relationships between grandparents and their grandchildren, and also acknowledge the value of each generation for the benefit of all. Lastly, churches can support grandparents who are facing difficult situations, such as custody battles, estrangement, or grief. This can be done through providing practical help and support, such as legal advice, counseling, or other resources that can help grandparents navigate these challenging situations. By being a supportive and caring presence through difficult times, the church can demonstrate its commitment to loving and supporting families in all circumstances. In conclusion, there are several ways that the church can better support grandparents who want to be involved in their grandchildren's lives. By valuing and recognizing the important role they play, providing resources and support when needed, creating intergenerational programs and activities, and supporting grandparents through difficult situations, the church can help to foster positive relationships and strong connections between grandparents and their grandchildren, and contribute to building healthier and happier families overall. #Grandparents #GrandparentsRights #Oklahoma ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGpPJwtXjkg

Kanye West takes to the internet to talk about how he is not allowed to know where his daughter's birthday is taking place. This is going to give his daughter the impression that he was not there for her, when in fact he is being kicked out of her life. Things like this happen all the time in Texas, and instead of prosecuting it as the crime it is (Texas Penal Code 25.03 declares Interference with Child Custody a STATE JAIL FELONY), law enforcement and District Attorneys and others almost always side with the interfering parent. It is evil when law enforcement is negligent and turns a blind eye to the law. Note: I found this video online and reposted it. I think it was originally uploaded to Spade TV. #KanyeWest #InterferenceWithChildCustody Update: It looks like Kanye did make it to his daughter's birthday party - perhaps it was because he went public with everything? I don't know. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvmGjDcFKPY ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Eg0yEclpSc

THE HIDDEN INJUSTICE: UNVEILING THE TRUTH BEHIND PAID SUPERVISED VISITATION IN TEXAS FAMILY COURTS Jeff Younger addresses the issue of paid supervised visitation in Texas family courts – a topic that's often misunderstood and overlooked by many people. This system inflicts injustices on fit, willing, loving, and able parents, not to mention the adverse effects on their children. In this brief segment, Jeff Younger aims to shed light on these issues, challenging the status quo and advocating for change." First, there is the issue of the unconstitutional aspect of paid supervised visitation. The United States Constitution upholds the rights of parents to raise their children, a principle often disregarded in the implementation of supervised visitation. When a fit and able parent is subjected to supervised visitation without just cause, it infringes upon their fundamental rights. So why are these parents, who pose no threat to their children, forced into a system that treats them as potential offenders? Second, the emotional toll and financial exploitation these parents face is unjust and almost unimaginable. It is incomprehensible that any loving, competent parent should be required to pay to spend time with their child under strict supervision. It isn't just emotionally draining; it's financially burdensome. Many parents find themselves in a vicious cycle, struggling to afford the costs of supervised visits, which only adds to the emotional strain. This system, ostensibly designed to protect, often ends up punishing innocent parents. Yet this is the system that is pervasive in Texas, which often seems more interested in providing financial incentives to the state and to the child exploitation and family destruction industry – rather than simply acknowledging that children need BOTH parents. Finally, it is hard to underestimate the destructive impact this system has on the children involved. Supervised visitation can create a sense of alienation and confusion, or the false impression that one parent is “dangerous,” simply because an anti-family attorney fights for this outcome and an anti-family judge says so. Unnecessary paid supervised visitation disrupts the natural bond between parent and child, often leading to long-term emotional and psychological effects. The misuse of paid supervised visitation in Texas family courts raises serious concerns. It's not just about the infringement of parental rights or the financial burden; it's about the overall well-being of families. We must question, challenge, and ultimately reform a system that has the potential to do more harm than good. When two fit, willing, able, and loving parents have children, paid supervised visitation should be considered abuse not only of the parent(s) in question, but of the children as well. Children need a nurturing and natural environment to interact with BOTH of their parents. Perhaps we should form a committee to review instances when one parent or an attorney or law firm unnecessarily asks for paid supervised visitation, when the real goal is to alienate a parent from a child – and to review a judge when he or she unnecessarily grants paid supervised visitation. Appropriate actions could be to charge a parent with making a false accusation, to sanction attorneys or law firms, and to start disciplinary actions against a judge. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmxXqqgbJGM
