To Assume

 Makes an ass out of you.

Years back, my youngest son attended a party at a friends. 

An accident happened and the medics arrived. 

-the apartment complex was known for drugs, so my son was mishandled by the paramedics.

-when someone told the medics his mother lived in a motel they called the father. 

This action was a violation of a PROTECTION ORDER  naming the mother and the son. 

After the situation at the hospital and a night of hell. Both I and my son safely returned to the motel. With a full POLICE ESCORT.

The following day I received a call from the Fire Marshall. 

APOLOGIZING for his crew and their actions. 

According to the attorney who wanted the case and to sue....... 

I had a winner. 

INSTEAD

My response to the Fire Marshall

"You of all people. Hear that someone lives in a motel and assumes the worse of them. How do you not know my house BURNT TO THE GROUND and I am in a motel waiting for insurance funds"

I could hear the shame in his voice. 

He told me this story would become part of his future training, and I hope he was a man of his word. 

NEVER ASSUME YOU KNOW SOMETHING when you truly know nothing about it. 

Blessed by God
