What a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday!!! We had a great time visiting family and I’m pretty sure Buddy had a great time hanging out with his new friend “Bentley” at the Haynes home all week.
This week I was reminded about the importance of conflict resolution. When we have a dispute with another person, for whatever reason, it robs us of the peace that God intends us to strive for as Christians. I was dealing with an issue with one of my family members and by the end of the week we had worked it out. “WHEW”. Oh how sweet it is to feel the burden of bitterness and anger roll off the back!
This year, during the Christmas Season, if there is someone with whom you are in dispute, I hope you will find it in yourself to forgive or ask for forgiveness whatever may be the case. Bitterness only destroys the soul of the one holding onto it. If at all possible, let it go and embrace the sweetness and wonderful joy of not carrying (or imposing) that awful and heavy burden.
Colossians 3:13 - Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
