I love the circle formation and first Sunday Relief Society lessons! Today we discussed ways to strengthen relationships. Not everyone shared but here are some of the ideas I remember (please feel free to add ideas I forgot)!:
To practice unconditional love even with family members who choose a different path;
To extend forgiveness so family relationships can proceed;
To realize we don't have to push a loved one to anger just because we can-we can choose to be calm instead
To express gratitude for our loved ones
To realize the first shields Satan takes down is prayer and scripture study (shared from Sage Inman from a visiting general authority to her mission) so to keep trying to have these in our home
To pull together as adult siblings to help and support each other
To continue to include and invite family members to family events as well as church events without pressure to attend
To look for and focus on the good in those around us
To not be afraid to admit we were wrong or to apologize even if we are right....sometimes both are right but need to figure out how to be right together!
To remember this is all a process!
