Forgiveness is another theme that kept coming up in my quiet time. I heard a Pastor recently describe the difference between reconciliation and forgiveness. They're not the same. You don't need to reconcile with someone to forgive them. I find this helpful.
Recognizing patterns of behavior in someone we care about. Who is it benefiting? I've thought a healthy relationship comes from respect with sharing and building a relationship together. If it becomes disrespectful and abusive, time to move on. This has been the case with many of my family members, unfortunately. I still love them so much and pray for them.
