I love it when people recognize how wonderful their family is!Love Being A Nonnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10510618983227889123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479693048632476929.post-52316647801118639822010-03-11T12:22:22.705-07:002010-03-11T12:22:22.705-07:00Hi! I happened to stumble upon your blog, and have...Hi! I happened to stumble upon your blog, and have been reading it for a while. I just wanted to let you know, that I think you are a very beautiful woman, full of class and graciousness.<br /><br />I really appreciated your blog post today :) <br /><br />I too have an amazing family like your own, and feel blessed to be a part of it every day. I wouldn't be who I am, without anyone of them in my life! I am so grateful for the Plan of Salvation and for the blessings that come from the Temple :)<br /><br />Sadly, I can also relate to your comments about families who let foolish feuds rift them apart.<br /> <br />My "other" family is very much like that. It has been going on for years... long before I ever married into their circle.<br /><br />Sometimes (more than I like) I find myself caught in the middle of such petty and awkward situations. It can be quite challenging in not being manipulated to "choose" sides. <br /><br />However, I always think of the scripture found in Romans 14:19 "Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another."<br /><br />It is so helpful for me to be reminded, of where the spirit of love comes from, and where the spirit of contention comes from! <br /><br />No longer do I let myself "choose" sides... now I just let myself choose to be a "peacemaker." <br />Even if that means walking away. Even if that means standing up for what is right. Even if that means I have to love at a distance. <br />Being offended will always come, if being prideful shows up first.<br /><br />Thank you for giving me another glimmer of hope for the future. I know that perhaps one day- things will all work out for the best for everyone. Maybe not today. Perhaps not even tomorrow. But that if I continue to be Christlike, it WILL happen one day!<br />♥CASSIEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15161966122599464740noreply@blogger.com
