Feb 17 Peace in the Family

A family is a collection of different personalities who have to somehow figure out how to live together. Because people don’t always agree, family members must manage despite different opinions and preferences.
How does your family deal with those differences?
Sometimes a person is called a “peacemaker” who gives in, who gives up what they wanted.
But can a person who never has a voice live in peace? How can anyone be at peace who has no say in important decisions about their life?
Today, consider this question: Is everyone in your family, including children, allowed to express an opinion? Does one person always give in?

You have a very compassionate, yet straight forward style of writing. I wholeheartedly agree with you. Forgiveness frees us from the weight of others mistakes.
