FEAR OR STRESS?
FEAR OR STRESS?
Fear, motivates us (or is it stress) from dawn to dusk.
There is no fear but fear itself, so once I heard.
Stress makes us crawl out of bed, catch the bus, climb those stairs.
Complete those tasks, be careful, watch over your shoulder.
Fearful you are of losing ones environment, family member, friends, Love.
Both extremes, or are they just one in the same?
Who knows, as it still motivates us from dusk to dawn, Fear.

THE MEANING OF LOVE?
THE MEANING OF LOVE?
Do not let it be said that in my life that I did not know the meaning of Love.
Throughout my every waking second I either sought it, or experienced it.
Moments of Love is what carried me through my darkest of times.
As I cherished it, I also found it comforting and inside me it creates warmth.
For Love can be like a fire, either blazing, or tempered to just glow.
Till once again, this passion fired called Love; is re-stoked to fully grow.
The meaning of Love within me is yet undiminished, even today as I become older.
I do know the meaning Love and with my last breath it is waiting to spark up within me once again…

We walk together, yet alone we walk.
We live with each other, hear many voices; alone we talk.
For the glue that binds us are our births, the lives we live, our deaths and through this; we are all, watched by GOD.
As we choose to eat this, consume that, be with her or be with him,

As we choose to eat this, consume that, be with her or be with him,
Love them or Love them not.
Tonight, I'm thinking about where I'd rather be; and though I may have burned all my bridges.
Sunk all my ships and stranded myself,
as I stand at the edge of the sea!
I think of my life’s many a family, many a friend, many children;
which some of us have to our end.
For sure through it all, one by one, we really all die alone.
As the one thing that is for certain, is that we are all Loved by GOD; even past then…

THE BOTTLE INCIDENT!
THE BOTTLE INCIDENT!
https://youtu.be/i7gD3XBeLk8
I remember my first daughter. It was 3am and after poking myself with safety pins (what is so safe about them?), I had to also provide the bottle as it was this Dad's turn. Well I made the bottle, put it into a pot of water to heat up. My eldest daughter and I then laid down on the couch, with her snugly on Daddy's chest. We both fell back asleep, water boiled, boiled away, pot on stove became red hot, nipple on bottle melted off, milk boiled away and fire alarm went off! It was then I opened my eyes to an enraged wife bent over me in much, much, anger! Lucky for me I was allowed to continue lessons for my turn of 3 am child care... My advice boys is yes, Breast feeding is good, thank GOD for microwaves and Diapers that you not have to

"THE SMILE"
MY CHILD ABDUCTED
May 30TH, 1989 - MAY 30 2017
30 YEARS LATER
https://youtu.be/u9Dg-g7t2l4
For I forget NOT, and the nightmares returned no more.
Now 30 years after my youngest daughter was Abducted on May 30TH 1989 and Recovered August 10TH 1989.
As it’s hard to decide where I should start and at the same time, it is very easy for it’s all there.
All the memories, the pain, the fear, the stress, are just a simple recall of a flashback away.
The moment from a long time ago, on the day when my world was really turned upside down and my child abducted.
In hindsight, it all was because of nothing more than another person’s whim, of control over me. So, they could say, look at what I can do to you and you cannot stop me!
I REMEMBER AS SEEN THROUGH THESE 2 TV NEWS CLIPS:

Even though it is now long ago, during a time when my dreams become reality and my new reality, would seem to become dreams.
To this day I am actually still deep inside haunted, as it used to play back in my dreams, this haunting was from nothing less, than a person’s smile.
A smile from the last time that I saw this Parental Child Abductor 30 years ago, as she walked out of Court.
Walking past me that smile which said; “I am free unpunished and I am feeling all powerful, as my twisted mission for you is accomplished.
For you cannot stop me and just wait and see what I will do to you next” ...
And so it was on every night or every other night long ago, this smile used to come back into my thoughts, via my dreams as pure night terrors.
MAN PLEADED FOR DAUGHTER’S SAFE RETURN!
Published: Saturday January 7TH, 2006 in the Edmonton Journal & Calgary Herald Newspapers.
May 30TH, 1989
Racked by fear and sick with grief over his missing child, Richard Abbenbroek made a pact with God: If he got youngest daughter back safely, he would then become a Christian and find a way to help other parents going through this same hell.
As of 2018 it's been 30 years since he got down and prayed for the return of his daughter, who will be 34 Richard has kept his word -- he attends Centre Street Church in Calgary, he was a Case Manager volunteer for Child Find Alberta from 1989 and for 24 years 2013 a Volunteered for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's Team HOPE (Help Offering Parents Empowerment). Since then Richard had combined with Child Find Alberta work made nightly calls to over 408 Parents and assist them in the recovery of their Missing Children, again starting with Child Find Alberta and then through Team Hope of the National Center of Missing and Exploited Children. The NCMEC is the U.S.-based center that was co-founded by Patty Wetterling, Abby Potash and John Walsh of America's Most Wanted after the murder of his son Adam.
Richard wanted to make sure no one "would have to go through the horror the hard way, like I did," after his former wife left their Calgary home, taking his youngest daughter with her.
He had been with his youngest daughter’s bio-mother for five years when she became pregnant. They married a year after youngest daughter was born. Until then, their relationship seemed happy and normal, he says.
Then his ex-wife became severely depressed and started drinking. His happy relationship crumbled. She constantly threatened to leave, saying: "When I leave, you will also never see your daughter again!"
On May 30TH, 1989, Richard arrived home to find clothes, bedding, food, and other odd items missing. Richard’s wife and child were gone. Richard felt the whole house closing in on him.
Trying to explain his feelings at this point, he says, “I just sat in the kitchen and cried for myself and my youngest daughter and the whole lost family thing. How could I explain this to anyone? Where have they gone? Is this the end of their relationship? As I sat, tears fell like rain, sobs loud, my head hurt. I couldn’t think; I only could cry.
I felt so ashamed, not for any-thing I did, but more for what I could not prevent.”
He searched the house frantically for a note or some clue as to where they may have gone nothing. Richard’s wife had even taken the phone books, which listed the numbers of friends and family. Once the initial shock had worn off, Richard was able to recall a few of the numbers from memory. He discovered through mutual friends that his wife and his youngest daughter were still in Calgary but were staying with relatives.
Knowing it wouldn’t do any good to try to convince his soon to be ex-wife to come home, and not wanting to cause further harm to the child; Richard applied for and received an interim custody order for his youngest daughter. He was devastated to learn that his wife had then, taken the child to British Columbia. This rendered this order useless, for now Richard’s wife must first be served before the order could be in effect.
How do you serve someone you can’t find? The relatives were nu-cooperative when Richard inquired as to his wife’s whereabouts. He feared she would soon go to the United States, making his search even more difficult. He had to act fast. Child Find B.C. helped him file an interim custody order with the Supreme Court of British Columbia.
Doing much of the legwork himself, Richard constantly badgered the Calgary Police or any Police, RCMP, county sheriffs and lawyers. The stress was so great; his weight plunged from 108 Kilograms to 68 Kilograms. It was at that point he made his pact with GOD.
Richard said he was appalled at the lack of aid and information available to parents in abduction cases. Many of the agencies he dealt with were less than helpful; some were totally unresponsive. One police officer even told him with a straight face that he should be happy. "Since the old lady and kid were gone, why not go have a beer?"
His case was further complicated because he was a father looking for his daughter while battling a common at that time and even now a misguided perception that children are better off with their mother.
To get the system to act, Richard was forced to get police to lay child-abduction charges against his wife. Even this charge was difficult to enforce Canada-wide. It required an order be filed with the BC Supreme Court to make all law enforcement agencies act on the warrant for his wife’s arrest.
Legal technicalities and financial difficulties and a supervisor who hid from Richard that his 4 weeks of vacation for that year were gone (they were not but he sure could have used them), hindered Richard’s search. His wife had left him thousands of dollars in debt with no funds, no credit, and bills to be paid, Richard was left with virtually no money to use to locate his youngest daughter.
On Aug. 10TH, 1989, 72 days after she disappeared with youngest daughter, Richard's wife was tracked down and arrested. She was charged with parental child abduction, but never showed up in court.
Richard obtained a divorce the following June 1990, along with full custody of youngest daughter.
Even though he had his daughter back, Richard said he lived in fear for years afterwards, always looking over his shoulder in case someone again tried to take youngest daughter. https://youtu.be/fimDg7bvrsk
Even if a parent is lucky enough to be reunited with a missing child, life is never the same for the family. They must start over, undergo counseling and live with the fear the child could be abducted again.
Richard says after he was granted full custody of his youngest daughter, he thought he noticed people watching his house and the Day Care his daughter attended. He worried constantly that his ex-wife would exact revenge by taking his daughter again. This is after his youngest daughter told him that mommy said she was going to steal her back from Daddy again one day!
Richard’s Quote; "For the parents like myself who have lived through this hell, they know what I am talking about. We are all members of an exclusive club (family really), that has the highest entrance dues imaginable: the temporary or permanent loss of your own child!"

THE HOLY SPIRIT IMO IS WITHIN ME!
THE HOLY SPIRIT IMO IS WITHIN ME!
First before I testify one may ask who is the HOLY SPIRIT?The HOLY SPIRIT is a real person who came to reside within JESUS CHRIST's true followers after JESUS rose from the dead and ascended to heaven.
JESUS CHRIST told His disciples...
"I will ask GOD the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not behold Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you through Him."
The HOLY SPIRIT is not a vague, otherworldly vision or shadow, nor an impersonal force. He is a person equal in every way with GOD the Father and JESUS CHRIST the Son. He is the third member of the GODHEAD or Trinity.
JESUS CHRIST told His disciples...
"All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the FATHER GOD and the SON JESUS CHRIST and the HOLY SPIRIT, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the time."
https://youtu.be/wI-ulpVhFAs
In the three in one but separate TRINITY or GOD HEAD; GOD is our heavenly Father, the Son JESUS CHRIST and HOLY SPIRIT and all the divine attributes ascribed to the Father and the Son are equally ascribed to the HOLY SPIRIT. When a person becomes born again Christian, by believing and receiving JESUS CHRIST. GOD resides in that person through the HOLY SPIRIT for the HOLY SPIRIT, has intellect, emotion and will.
A primary role of the Holy Spirit is that He bears "WITNESS" to JESUS CHRIST.
He tells people's hearts about the truth of JESUS CHRIST. The Holy Spirit also acts as Christ’s teacher. He reveals GOD's will and GOD's truth to a Christian and non-Christian alike and we all have the choice to believe or not!
JESUS CHRIST told His disciples...
"The Helper, the HOLY SPIRIT, whom the Father GOD will send in My name. He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you."
"When He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come."
The HOLY SPIRIT was given to live inside those who believe in JESUS CHRIST, in order to produce GOD's character in the life of a believer. In a way that we cannot do on our own, the HOLY SPIRIT will build into our lives love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Rather than trying to be loving, patient, kind, GOD asks us to rely on Him to produce these qualities in our lives.
Thus, Christians are told to walk in the SPIRIT and be filled with the SPIRIT and the HOLY SPIRIT empowers Christians to perform ministerial duties that promote spiritual growth among Christians and Non-Christians to be saved through JESUS CHRIST.
As I just said, the HOLY SPIRIT also performs a function for non-Christians as well.
He convicts people's hearts of GOD's truth concerning how sinful we are all needing GOD's forgiveness; how righteous JESUS CHRIST, as He died in our place, for our sins; and GOD's eventual judgment of the world and those who do not know Him. The HOLY SPIRIT tugs on our hearts and minds, asking us to repent and turn to GOD for forgiveness and a new life.

I was a little depressed this week (Mega Depressed Actually!) as I can no longer morn for Joyce like I did. From listening to Pastors and you plus reading the Bible.
Basically, the old song “I Have A Friend In JESUS”, is true as I testify to you all. Yet I forgot and if I carried on damming, plus punishing myself for GOD taking Joyce home. It is just a matter of time before I fell into my own destruction, when what GOD wants, is that I live the life He gave me, to carry on.
https://youtu.be/QCV5t8wRBI8
For GOD is the one to decide when you are to leave this mortal realm and not yourself.
My only Love should be GOD as GOD is forever. As you should know GOD’s Love for me and everyone else is also forever! Things of this earth well, nothing is permanent and I have found that much has disappointed me to say the very least.
Do not get me wrong I love Joyce and still do but I must return my love to Father GOD, JESUS CHRIST and the HOLY SPIRIT again GOD’s Love is for ever and ever.
Now as I try to live my life as best that I can I can use His Love to share with others.
Do not get me wrong as I am not perfect, nor will I ever be. So, you need not cast your stones as I know.
GOD'S Love is what is important. Even if Joyce was still alive on this earth, it is GOD'S Love is what really one hundred percent does comforts you, even more than what you consider, the mortal Love of your life on this earth.
https://youtu.be/YNqo4Un2uZI
This may sound for some about me a bit unstable (nothing new from me) but the truth is; HOLY SPIRIT has been uplifting my down trodden spirit with His guidance and His Love. Of late I now feel all warm and calm inside and when I do not the HOLY SPIRIT is here for me.
Then I remembered to be careful as is it the HOLY SPIRIT I wonder? How does one tell? Well again I believe as I have stated in my humble explanation for all above this line. I believe it is only through the HOLY SPIRIT and His presence which I did not understand, that I have just recently started to come out of my grief.
https://youtu.be/eRUM70CPYls
This my testimony and total belief system.
In the name of GOD the FATHER, JESUS CHRIST the SON and the HOLY SPIRIT
AMEN!
Richard Abbenbroek
P.S. a quote from my friend Pastor Grunau;
Yes, the HOLY SPIRIT is always with us ... and is called the Comforter.
Glad you are experiencing His presence!
