I know you are terrified of H and the witch judge and court. Being scared is ok. Fearless is not a requisite of bravery. The courageous takes action in spite of their feelings of fear. And through their actions lights the world, bathing those around them within a glow of security, protection, and comfort. Your children know your courage. They won’t articulate it for sometime, not til older, but they know, and they see. Believe me, they realize who is lighting their world.
Very well done with the meal for the old man. Yes, one doesn’t always have a generous heart, and resentment can find its way in. Yet in spite of that, you kept doing. (Not trying, doing. ) You made a world of difference to that man. Through kind deeds one becomes the tool of God.
Your time in your crucible is transforming you. Healing you. Strengthening you.
All of our prayers are answered. Every single one. Sometimes the answer is no. Maybe even most times. Well it is regarding my lottery tickets. Our heartfelt prayers, full of sincerity, at times are not what we need, nor what is best for us. God’s will be done. He knows and answers, always. It is us that struggle to realize His reasons. Have faith, His blessings come not from that which we want, but from that which we don’t realize we need.
A brave courageous heart, full of love and compassion, is a blessing that takes time to create. A woman who feeds an old man dinner; she is walking the path of light. Take a step back from the crucible for a moment and see who has been crafted.
Stand tall and brave Gerda. It suits you.

Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
