Before I built a wall I’d ask to know
What I was walling in or walling out,
And to whom I was like to give offense.
Something there is that doesn’t love a wall.

Today, Gordon and I watched the girls as they had their own little cat fight. As we watched and observed, their lives changed. How have their live changed? Walls were built, secured and reinforced by feelings of hurt through things said that can never be erased from their minds again. Now they have to move on, knowing that these trivial things are what are tearing them apart. As we observed their interaction the biggest wall saw was pride! Once the fight was over, we counseled with them, it didn't go so well. Neither one of them wanted to share the real problem, but throughout the day, the walls started coming down. I know and trust in the power of forgiveness. I believe things will work out.
I am grateful that Heavenly Father hears the silent prayers of a mothers heart.
