Difficult situations with my family. Very ugly, very scary. I hate HATE conflict and I'm being forced into decisions that are guaranteed to cause a lot of grief. --That makes it sound as though I'm the victim. No, I can act as I please. I just can't act as I please and still face myself in the mirror in the morning. I will do what I must. I'm reminded of Frodo in the Lord of the Rings movies--when he says, "I wish this thing had never come to me," and Gandalf replies-"so do all who live to see such times." It's a comforting thought. I'm far from alone in having to face things I don't want to face. A scripture is also very much with me just now, "I will go before your face, I will be on your right hand and on your left and mine angels round about you to bear you up."
I'm so thankful that this scripture applies to me even though my role is a comparitively small one. It's Lisa who will bear the brunt of the current catastrophe. She is a person of rare courage.
