Dear God,

You are a mighty and powerful God!  Nothing is too hard for you!

A few years ago you moved a mountain, a mountain of resentment, bitterness, and ill will.  You not only moved it, you tore it down stone by stone.  You did this because you know mountains erected with such hatred are always an obstacle, barriers to real peace and joy.

Several years ago it would have been impossible for three generations of my family to be together.  Each of us had our own personal mountain and night and day we guarded them.  But while we acted like selfish little gods, you came to us and shifted the ground beneath our feet.  You turned our darkness into light revealing the truth that eventually set us free.

Tonight my daughter, granddaughter, and I ate dinner together all the while laughing, teasing, and playing together.  Mountains torn down!

All Powerful God,
forgive us
when we forget
we are
not you.
Set us free
when we
begin building fences
that keep us
apart from
one another.
Teach us
to trust you
to lead us
to green pastures
and living water.

Always thankful, Andrea
