Relationships are Work

Well, Christmas has come & gone. The girls enjoyed their gifts from Santa & from the family. Crispin did not know what to think or what is going on, of course since he is a baby. hehe We had good fellowship & food. JD made us his famous brisket, which is delicious & not just because he is my hubby, but because it really is!

Unfortunately we received sad news that a kid we grew up with was killed in a car wreck early Christmas morning on his way to work. It is just a simple reminder that life is not guaranteed. We should always look at ourselves & our lives to see where we are with relationships & in our lives.

Do we have a relationship that needs mending? Do we have a situation that needs to be taken care of? A wrong that needs to be made right? You may have to be the bigger person & initiate the conversation. Even if you do not think you were the one in the wrong. Or maybe you know you are the one to blame & do not know what to say. How about start with, "I'm sorry". See where it goes. It may even take more than one time to initiate the conversation.
I pray this new year you find the time to work on your relationships whether it is with God, your parents, siblings, etc.

Now, this is the time to take care of things. A few moments, a few days, a few weeks, a month, Tomorrow, could be too late.



"Be completely humble & gentle; be patient, baring with one another with love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace." Ephesians 4:2-3
