I went to my Course in Miracles study group tonight. As usual, the lesson of the day reflected what I needed to hear:
I gladly make the "sacrifice" of fear.
Here is the only “sacrifice” You ask of Your beloved Son; You ask him to give up all suffering, all sense of loss and sadness, all anxiety and doubt, and freely let Your love come streaming in to his awareness, healing him of pain, and giving him Your Own eternal joy. Such is the "sacrifice" You ask of me, and one I gladly make; the only "cost" of restoration of Your memory to me, for the salvation of the world.
And as we pay the debt we owe to truth, - a debt that merely is letting go of self-deceptions and of images we worshipped falsely – truth returns to us in wholeness and in joy. We are deceived no longer. Love has now returned to our awareness. And we are at peace again, for fear has gone and only love remains.
The start of your blog made me laugh. As a parent we all have one of those moments on both accounts.

I understand how hard it was for you and your daughter when you were upset. Like you said there were many reasons behind the situation. As a parent we all have a moment like that and we hope it only happens one time but we know sometimes thigs happen.
I am glad you mom was able to let you see the humour and that you got to talk to your soilder.
