Tena's Tribute
Miss Mason may
have died 12 years ago but her story, her courage, her strength and
her spirit continues to help those who were abused. She continues to
give strength to those who felt they could not go on (like I was).
People have asked me why I believe in God. If God was so loving how
could He let
children be abused
or killed. I have learned through my Bible studies that God hates it
when horrible things happen to His children but at this point He can
not do anything about it because of free will. He gave each of us free
will. We could freely obey Him or we could obey evil. He doesn't want
a robot for a child. He wants us to come to Him because we love Him.
Because we know He loves us. Unfortunately there are those who obey
evil and when that person gives themselves over to evil sometimes
those who are close to them are hurt. Just as Miss Masons Mom
surrendered to the demons in her head, Miss Mason paid the price.But I
also find that when a person endures such horrific abuse from a loved
one God gives them His strength to get through the hell they go
through. He cries with them. He holds them. He gives them the strength
and courage to live so they can help others in the future. Miss Mason
went through a horrible childhood and she struggled to become whole as
a young adult. But because of her faith in God and because she drew
upon His strength she did become whole and was able to help others in
ways she probably never could imagine. Even to this day she has helped
others. She really helped me when I was going through the abuse by my
dad. Then in later years the abuse my 1st husband inflicted on me. Her
life was etched into my soul. I knew God would give me the strength I
needed to get through the abuse. He helped her. He gave her strength
and I knew He would give me the strength I needed to eventually become
whole.
