Your Question:
What did my family member do to me?
Answer:
As I reflect on my family dynamics, I see a theme of loving and supportive relationships. My wife Susan and I have been married for 19 years, and we've worked through our share of challenges together. We've learned to communicate effectively, and I've come to appreciate her ability to speak hard truths to me in a loving and non-judgmental way. I've also observed this theme in my relationship with our children, Joshua and Rebecca. As a pastor, I've learned the importance of being a loving and supportive parent, and I've made a conscious effort to model this behavior in my own family. I've seen how my children have responded to my love and support, and I'm grateful for the strong bonds we've formed. In fact, I've often found that when I'm struggling with anger or resentment towards someone, including my family members, it's helpful to recall times when they've shown me love and support. This helps me to see things from their perspective and to respond in a more loving and forgiving way. I've learned that forgiveness is not just about letting go of past hurts, but also about choosing to respond to others with love and compassion, even when they've wronged me.
